My courses are aimed at all those who have the desire to discover their voice. I adapt to the personality and needs of each one.
The repertoire to work will depend on the musical tastes of the student.
There are no prerequisites for singing, you just have to feel like doing it!
My courses vary depending on the student's needs.
In a first stage, we work on posture and breathing, followed by vocal warm-up exercises, where we look for a connection between the voice, the breath and the body. Finally we will work on music.
The voice is a unique instrument to each person, that is why each one must learn to feel and understand how to produce their voice in the healthiest way possible. Developing a body awareness will allow us to progress in singing.
For violin and viola lessons I follow the Suzuki method, that helps students use both intellect and motor skill, while singing and practicing the reading of music notes.
For piano lessons I follow the Suzuki method and additional material picked by both student and teacher. From Mozart to Birdy to Micheal Nyman the wide world of piano has much to offer!
For younger students:
Being a mother and having had many many younger students I relate and work well with children understanding their unique sense of self and also range of attention. I find incorporating games, favorite melodies, and other creative studies along with a lesson book makes for a productive fun experience.
For older students:
This is a great opportunity to work one-on-one brainstorming a goal to enhance the students lesson. Whether it be learning your favorite strumming song and a simple vocal accompaniment around the fire with friends to singing in church or at an event I have worked as a professional musician since 2014 and can offer an individualized lesson program plus some helpful pointers about performance, practice routine, etc.
