With over 4 years of teaching and performing; my course will help you become the talented musician you are striving for!

Singing lessons highlights
In my personal teaching approach, I focus on the following: pitch, tone, rhythm, diction, and performance deliverance. Pitch criteria starts with random pitches that will aid in establishing your voice range; how high or low you are capable at reaching. Then with training and time, we will learn to expand our reach on both ends of the spectrum. Tone technique include English and Spanish vowel exercises along with diction that will help establish a specific sound you are determined in producing. Whether it is a warm rich resonating sound or a high soft crisp voice, my diction and tone exercises will assist in locating your desired sound and pronunciation of words and phrases. Rhythm criteria will focus on speed and accuracy. Slow or fast songs, regardless, both require strong tempo focus that a singer must be able to control and adapt. With my assistance, students will learn to stay on path without altering speed. Performance deliverance will explore options in singing with confidence and posture. Whether you are looking to perform for fun or enjoy singing in private, confidence is a major role when it comes to honing in your voice!
