Singing lessons highlights

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 and Audrey engaged in vocal exercises such as lip flutters, dog breathing, and sirens, aiming to enhance breath control and vocal placement. During the lesson, Audrey skillfully applied these techniques to Corinne Bailey Rae's "Like a Star," concentrating on dynamics and groove. She also commenced work on Madonna's "Like a Prayer," specifically identifying nasal voice placement. For her practice, Audrey was tasked with continuing the siren exercise and actively listening for various vocal placements in songs.

The following is a summary of a lesson. Youdan and Signe worked on enhancing vocal techniques, concentrating on breath control, vocal cord closure, and mouth shape relaxation. Signe applied these methods to jazz phrasing with Lady Gaga's "That's Life" and was encouraged to explore artists like Lake Street Dive and Raye. For the next lesson, Signe will choose a song to learn, potentially from Raye's album or by continuing with the Lady Gaga piece, and their next lesson is scheduled for Sunday at 1:30.
