Private Voice Lessons Private voice lessons consist of two components:  technique and repertoire.

TECHNIQUE The first half of the lesson is spent on exercises that warm up the vocal instrument.  Most of the exercises are based on bel canto (“beautiful singing”) technique, a system of exercises that has been used to develop the singing voice since the 19th Century.

REPERTOIRE The second half of the lesson is devoted to working on songs.  All styles of music are taught – pop, rock, jazz, musical theater, classical, etc.  The ultimate goal with a voice student is to teach them how to sing well in every style.  Students work on at least two songs at a time – one chosen to practice technique, the other is the student’s choice.

Each voice is completely unique, based on the person’s physicality and personality.  Because of this, one person may like to sing the blues more than they like to sing classical music; but, the point of vocal technique is for the student’s voice to be free, no matter what they are singing.
