Voice Lessons Missouri

Instruments: Voice

Meet the student where they are at and take them where they want to go. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments help fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More

Instruments: Voice

As a voice teacher, I have greatly enjoyed sharing the gift of music with others. It is important to me that singers always find joy and fulfillment in making music. I work with each singer to choose repertoire that is interesting and enjoyable to work on, and that will allow them to grow musically. We set goals from week to week that will encourage home practice as well, since just like any other skill, learning to perform musically takes time and dedication. Read More

Before I have a student sing or play a note, I always ask about their musical goals and why they are wanting to take lessons. It is of the utmost importance for me the instructor to understand as clearly as possible what the student is after. Otherwise, we may have different goals for the lessons and that will benefit no one in the end. Progress is paramount and it's also a promise. Read More

For young beginner students (Ages 3-7) I typically start them with the Music for Little Mozart Series (4 books total). I pair that with fun music games, rhythm practice, listening activities and other misc. activities. At this age it is difficult for them to sit at the piano bench for the whole lesson so we only spend about half the lesson (but split up) at the piano and the other half learning basic music concepts through games.

I typically begin with Hal Leonard's books, levels 1-5. These are great and pair well with theory and scale techniques. I also enforce regular flashcards to memorize notes, markings, and terms. These also pair well with the books. As the students begin to grasp basic concepts, I introduce "fun" books that they may choose: for some, it is classical or pop, and for others, it is musical theatre. I also love allowing students to play music based on holidays they celebrate: it is always fun for a small family/friends concert! Read More
