Before your lesson

• You’ll reflect on your goals as a singer and/or songwriter: what are your main areas of focus?

• You’ll think of 2 to 3 songs you’d like to work on at various levels of difficulty: one easy, one medium, one hard (for example, an easy song would be ‘Hey Jude’ by The Beatles, while a difficult song would be ‘Love On Top’ by Beyonce!)

• You’ll ponder you ultimate dream: performing at a Karaoke night? Playing a show at the Ryman? Winning a grammy? Let yourself feel crazy!

• You won’t worry about sounding professional or perfect. Just bring yourself.

During your lesson

• We’ll go over basic anatomy of the voice and body to break down what happens when you sing or move.

• We’ll warm up with some basic to intermediate vocal scales, exploring what your unique voice can do.

• We’ll dig into a song, tackling the challenges and making the song work for your voice.

• We’ll come up with homework for you practice on your own between lessons.
