I believe each of us learn differently; for some students I find that they are very hands on and prefer that I show them how to do something and then allow them to perfect it others I find that they need a little more guidance and need me to go at a slower pace but regardless of the student's learning language I take my time to understand where they are and outline a plan to help them exceed to the next level.

Each student learns in a different way so I tailor each lesson plan for that individual. I do have a format with teaching voice that follows tradition - we work on voice exercises and then repertoire. I use Hal Leonard, Alfred, and Mel Bay books for all instruments. Voice instruction is tailored to each student by taking their career goals, experience, and learning pace into consideration. Some things we will focus on are: vocal technique and correct breathing (the foundation), increasing vocal range, improving pitch and tone, vocal maintenance and endurance, stage performance and confidence, audition preparation, microphone technique, pre-production for studio recording and songwriting.

Positive reinforcement gets way more results than negative reinforcement. Read More
