| I
know that you will be able to sing any style of music
you choose if you have good
technique. Good
technique is the same, whether you choose opera,
musicals or pop. We work on the tried-and-true
basics; breathing, support, etc., via various
exercises and on songs we choose together. We
will prepare your audition pieces, and there will
be opportunities for performance with other
students. Every singer needs to master
the basics of
singing technique, to have an understanding of
breath support, placement and focusing of sound,
and clear (but relaxed )
enunciation. Each basic element is a natural
extension of the human speaking voice. Even
without instruction, some people have an
instinctive understanding of that natural voice.
Others need to learn it.
An
experienced voice
teacher can show you what
elements of your singing performance are strong
and lead you to a more professional, polished
sound.
Depending
upon each client's long-term goals, we work on
technique and repertoire hand-in-hand. As a
trained voice teacher, I
emphasize the basics: how and where they occur in
exercises and in the repertoire.
