  • Diction coaching and work with the International Phonetic Alphabet.
  • Tips and guidance on basic musicianship, theory and harmony through the pieces being studied.
  • Pointers on care of the voice and the importance of good health habits in order to maintain a healthy voice

While highly desirable, public performance is not the ultimate goal – lifetime learning is.

Performance opportunities

 

  • Periodic master classes are held at which students are requested to perform and critique not only their own work, but that of their colleagues. These classes are conducted by the teacher (and guest coaches and teachers) and are intended to be true learning experiences where performance techniques are further developed in a relaxed atmosphere.
  • Public recitals are held as the level of student achievement and performance dictates.
  • Students are encouraged to sing in choral groups and small ensembles to further develop musical and listening skills. Studio assistance is provided.
  • Students are encouraged to enter competitions as readiness is achieved and if the student so desires.

Studio philosophy is to make singing one of life’s most enjoyable experiences and a journey

into the exciting elements of music as they are found in the vocal literature.
