How Voice Lessons WOrk
Middle and High -School Students
Voice lessons are most effective when taken weekly. Once accepted into the studio, school-aged students are assigned a weekly time which reoccurs throughout the school year.
Lessons are either 45 minutes or an hour, based on your goals, and are structured (ish) like this:
45 MINUTE LESSON
15-20 minutes: Vocalization exercises designed just for you. These are meant to free and strengthen the voice.
20 -25 minutes: Song work: preparing songs for performance. This includes technique, interpretation, and acting.
HOUR LESSON
15 minutes: Musicianship! This could be sight-singing, ear training, theory, etc.
15-20 minutes Vocalization exercises designed just for you. These are meant to free and strengthen the voice.
20 -25 minutes: Song work: preparing songs for performance. This includes technique, interpretation, and acting.
