METHODS USED
Learning to sing is a rewarding and worthwhile endeavor and I approach my students individualistically. I assign my student vocal exercises and repertoire and provide clear and thorough instruction to keep lessons fun and engaging! I challenge my students to practice and perfect the assigned homework and songs so that we may keep improving every week.
Through the years, I have built a vocal technique from the ground up which has allowed me to teach and guide students in their own journey in singing. My method is based upon the traditions of Italian bel canto technique which will provide you a vocal foundation in any genre you wish to sing. The learning of this technique will develop beauty, range, resonance, breath control, flexibility, and freedom in your voice.
LESSON STYLE
Typically, we dedicate half the time to warm ups and tailored vocal exercises for technique development. In the latter half of the lesson, we apply these principles into song repertoire that can consist of assigned repertoire appropriate for your vocal growth and/or songs you are interested in singing.
Sammy delivers immediate results for his students and their individual vocal goals. His mission is to work with students of all levels to provide an unmatched vocal technique and solve their vocal issues. Increase your range, resonance, breath support, vocal endurance and overall technique.
