Singing lessons overview
My tutoring approach revolves around creating a patient, confidence-building atmosphere that fosters relaxation and flexibility, all while staying motivating. I specialize in offering lessons in singing genres like Pop, Jazz, Blues, and Country, catering to a wide range of musical interests. To elevate the learning experience, I leverage various tech tools such as DAWs, digital sheet music databases, ear training software, karaoke apps, looping software, and more. These tools play a crucial role in honing vocal skills, enhancing pitch accuracy, and delivering instant feedback to students. In line with diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Programs, IB, and others, I have successfully taught over 100 students of all levels, including kids, adults, beginners, and advanced learners. My methodology aims to provide a supportive and engaging environment where students can explore their vocal potential and flourish as singers. Let's embark on this musical journey together, unlock your true singing potential, and make your voice shine in the world of music!

Youdan Yang led Signe L through a singing lesson that covered breath control, vocal registers (chest, nasal, mixed, head), and onset techniques, particularly focusing on gloal onset. Signe practiced these techniques while singing "I Put a Spell on You," with an emphasis on emotional expression and diction. They scheduled the next lesson for July 26th, as Youdan will be busy with a summer school project.

Youdan Yang worked with TJ Weiler on vocal techniques, including thick vs. thin vocal folds, breath control, and nasal resonance, to improve TJ's vocal range and reduce strain. They applied these techniques to the song "Flightless Bird" and decided to switch to a new song, "Walking Lightly", for the next lesson, better suited to TJ's lower vocal range. The next session is scheduled for Thursday the 10th.
