Voice Lessons Johnson County, KS

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Viola

I have been teaching for over 3 years in various positions of choir and private vocal lessons. I have taught private voice lessons for over 2 years. The focus of my teaching is allowing a free and resonant sound to be the guiding force in a student's vocal development. I implement pedagogical techniques in my teaching, as I have a vocal pedagogy background. I like the students to enjoy each piece of music they are working on, either because it provides them with a challenge or because of an emotional response they get from singing the piece. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Voice

I adapt each lesson to the performer's desires. Whether they are getting ready for contest, or a battle of the bands. I focus on the ancient Italian technique known as Bel Canto, and focus on the Alexander method of support. These are important fundamentals to familiarize yourself with as they are the building blocks that make up healthy singing. I typically begin by addressing posture, and breath support, then move onto resonance and creating open space to sing comfortably. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Bass Guitar

I've sung opera, heavy metal, jazz, bluegrass, lieder, electro-pop and others -- and I've played and written those styles too. I studied music at a high level simply because I couldn't justify studying anything else, because nothing else has mattered more to me. I've been teaching music for 20 years, both in and out of institutional parameters; and I've played in rock and roll bands for longer than that. I bring a well-grounded but open-minded approach to teaching at all levels and interests. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Drums, Orchestral Percussion

As I said above, I always want to have a fun and low-stress environment in my studio. There is nothing worse than coming in to studio practice time tight and stressed about how you may sound. There is no judgement in my studio. Everyone makes mistakes, yes, including me! (Haha) And there is no better way to improve than to make a confident mistake, because that is how we learn how to get better and what we can improve on! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice

I have been playing piano and studying music for 23 years.  I have performed pieces by Chopin, Liszt, Bach, Pachelbel, and Moussorgsky.  With only the use of my right hand, I adapt and arrange pieces so that I can play them with only six fingers.  I will be able to teach you to play with both hands.  I believe that Music should be available to every person on the earth because, music is what unites the world.
