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!
