What happens in a voice lesson?

Private lessons:

I will lead you in warm-up exercises, starting with vowels only. We will also work on proper breathing, posture, and relaxation. After you are warmed up, we will work on a song. You can choose a song that you like, or I can assign something for you to learn. You don't have to know how to read music.

Beginning group workshop:

I lead a vocal warm-up.  After the warm-up, we work on a different topic each week. The focus of the class can change, depending on the needs of the students. There are opportunities to sing with everyone, as well as duets and solos. There are no prerequisites for the basic class.

Week 1: Basic tools for singing
Week 2: Singing in tune
Week 3: Rhythm
Week 4: Singing the blues
Week 5: Chant, and the joy of singing
Week 6: Improvisation and freedom
Week 7: Singing in harmony
Week 8: What is a beautiful sound, and how do you make one?
