The Important Stuff

    Lessons include alignment and breathing, resonance, onsets, tuning, legato singing and visual performance. Lessons delivered weekly to allow for skill development. This course is ideal for those wanting to join (or are already in) an ensemble, but the skills are applicable to all types of singers.

  • Experiential learning

  • Develop YOUR best voice

    Low on technical jargon and high on freedom and embodied singing. Singers develop their own unique voice through tension-free vocal production.
