Voice Lesson By Design
Many teachers conduct voice lessons using a series of preconstructed warmups and vocalises. This is rigid and ineffective, as each singer's vocal journey is unique. Voice Lesson By Design embraces the individual strengths of the singer, catering to their specific pedagogical needs. Every lesson is different. Creativity, playfulness, curiosity, humor, exploration, sensitivity and respect are held in a safe container during lessons, acting as fundamental collaborative elements of The Song-Heart Connection and Vocal Studio.
I take pride in working with any person who has suffered emotional and/or vocal
trauma (phonotrauma) due to injury or abuse, such as:
*vocal pathology: hemorrhage, paralysis, nodules, dysphonia
*vocal modulation: navigating changes in the voice as a result of aging or physiological evolution i.e. menopause, puberty, hormone therapy
*vocal fatigue: overuse of the instrument, swelling, laryngeal strain
*instructor maltreatment: neglectful, aggressive, belittling, condescending, inappropriate, shaming behaviors inflicted upon the singer by mentors
Additional specializations:
*overcoming performance anxiety
*dramatic interpretation/subtext
*audition preparation
*foreign language
*sight-singing
*aural training
*music theory
*song analysis
*ipa/diction
