Voice LESSON
A voice lesson will concentrate on three basic elements of vocal technique – Breath Support, Vowels, and Mental Preparation. It is my hope that discovering, developing and integrating these three elements will produce a foundation for beautiful Bel Canto singing.
basic elements
Breath Support - The foundational tool for any technique. Without breath there is no sound. I will discuss the development and interplay of the various organs that help to produce a strong, constant breath support throughout the vocal range and vocal dynamics.
Vowels – The building blocks that are necessary for producing a legato from one note to the next, then over the phrase and finally throughout the aria/song. I will concentrate on the student’s ability to recognize and produce pure vowels throughout their vocal range and to pass seamlessly from one to another.
Mental Preparation – Develop a dependable mental approach to the mechanics of vocal technique that provides clarity, stability and self-awareness.
lesson times
Standard – forty-five to sixty minutes.
Intensive – forty-five minutes plus two twenty warm-up session (in-person/skype) during the week.
