There are 3 stages to developing an artist. Stage 1, we will work to build the voice much like an athlete and personal trainer. We will work on strengthening your posture, develop the correct inhalation/exhalation of air, proper formation of the vocal tract (lips, tongue, jaw, throat), and develop a clear resonant phonation. Stage 2, the student will begin learning how to learn music. We will study rhythm, diction, vowels, style, and musicianship. In this stage the student will have the opportunity to learn a variety of genres and experiment with different types of music. Stage 3, we start to find your artistic footing. We develop a unique and personal style to their sound. We begin to think about what you want to say and how you want the audience to feel when you sing. We will find your "It Factor" that will set you apart from anyone else, and give you the freedom to fully express yourself through music.
