Voice Lessons in Overland Park, KS

Instruments: Piano Voice

For piano students just starting out, I like Alfred’s basic piano library, and the Bastien piano basics. There are several other piano courses I’m excited to try as well. For both piano and voice students, I like to include a book of tunes with which the student is familiar: movie tunes, Disney songs, etc. For older students, I will focus a little more on the different time periods of music and help them to gain an appreciation for each.

Instruments: Voice

I believe that private voice instructions demands a tailored and customized approach to each individual student and his or her voice.

The first few lessons may seem tedious, as I usually spend this time becoming familiar with my student and his or her voice. Read More
