Voice Lessons Williamson County, TN

Instruments: Voice

I have been involved in the music industry as a commercial session vocalist, demo singer, and vocal coach for over 35 years. In 1988 I received my associates degree in music performance from Augusta State College, and then moved out west to focus on a career in music. During the 1990s as a commercial session vocalist, I was fortunate to have my voice featured on national network campaigns for ABC, NBC and CBS, as well as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Wheel Of Fortune.

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Saxophone

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 my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I start lessons with a quick interview so I can get an idea of what you want with your singing, not only technically I.e. range, projection, pitch etc, but also personal goals, being better at karaoke or sounding your best in a recording studio and everything in between. We then go over basic vocal exercises, the principles of singing, any tension I see encumbering your vocal production. The last half of the lesson we go through songs, either that you pick or are assigned. Read More

Nothing is more important to me than my students' personal goals and having a discussion on how we can achieve those goals. I always want to make sure my students are moving forward in their creative process, so I like to check in with them at each lesson to discuss their progress. It's definitely important to me that my students practice on their own (especially if we're having lessons once/week.) I like to have my students record themselves (using the voice memo feature on their phone or, if possible, another recording device) so they can listen back to their lessons and practice between lessons.

I started teaching piano for over 25-30 years; from my high school years to adulthood. One of my best experiences were to teach a 100 voice and 30-40 voice children choir to decades apart not just to sing but how to sing, to appreciate a variety of music, to appreciate good music, to find the performer in them that they didn't think was there. Piano or voice - it has always been about technique, posture of the body, shape of the fingers, exercises to grow, solfege to listen and interprete, performance for the joy of it, and finally to do it with your best.
