Voice Lessons Mississippi

Instruments: Voice

The process of vocal study requires the establishment of a relationship. I believe that this relationship must be built on mutual respect, intentional listening on the part of the student and the teacher, and emotional safety. I also believe that students must enjoy their lessons. Learning to sing can be a challenging process that sometimes stirs up fears and insecurities. I seek to be honest about those challenges and promote a positive atmosphere that builds upon successes. Read More

I have learned so much from each and every student that is indescribable, except that I found the key to good teaching and good learning is respect and love for the students and for the music at any age. As a teacher, I believe that music can be used as a tool to remove the barriers of physical, emotional, intellectual disabilities and socio - economic status. Because music is so innately co - curricular, the benefits are endless and can only add to one's life. Read More

I believe music to be an innately communicative expression, with a distinct enmeshment of all major art forms: theater, dance, visual, and literary art. I approach teaching voice very naturally-properly utilizing the breath, posture, speech, and interpretation. I'm most passionate about uncovering each student's unique voice, clear of imitation and timidity. I'd like to aid in helping you sound as the most confident, competent, sensitive, and healthy "you" imaginable. I like to start using editions of Leonard's Soprano solos. Read More

For beginning students, I start out with an Italian art song out of the the 24 Italian art song book. This helps with diction, breath support, and vocal line. Once the student has progressed, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire and let the student choose a couple of songs that he or she would like to sing. For adults, I also start out with an Italian art song, but also find out what the student is interested in and guide my instruction to keep the lessons engaging, encouraging, and fun no matter their ability level.
