Study with a coach who blends music theory and vocal technique into every singing session

During their vocal lesson, Talia and Carson honed their skills with exercises such as breath control, sirens, and three-note sequences, all aimed at improving pitch accuracy and vocal placement. Carson dedicated time to singing 'Imagine' in a higher key. As homework, he will work on the second part of the first verse, and Talia will provide a recording to support his practice.

Talia led Niza through vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises, and scale practice, honing in on pitch and breath control. During the lesson, Niza sang 'Die with a Smile,' and Talia provided specific feedback on diction and pitch accuracy. Niza's assignment for the upcoming lesson is to practice the second verse of the song, paying close attention to challenging lines and vocal transitions.

During their recent vocal lesson, Talia guided Carson through warm-ups, breathing exercises, and relative pitch practice using the Sing True app. Carson honed his vocal control and range by working on scales and sirens. Looking ahead to their next lesson in two weeks, Talia provided Carson with specific assignments: continuing exercises in the Sing True app, practicing breathing techniques, melodic whole-step singing, and mastering the first verse of "Imagine" in a higher key.

Talia guided Leah through vocal warm-ups and two song selections, "The Song of Sea Leaf Fall" for a one-act play and "Sento Nel Core" for All-State auditions. Their lesson concentrated on breath control, legato phrasing, and stylistic interpretation. For practice, Leah needs to work on the first verse of "The Song of Sea Leaf Fall" and the initial half of "Sento Nel Core," also remembering to send Talia the sheet music for the latter.

During a recent coaching lesson, Talia guided Leah, a high school junior, through various aspects of musical theater performance and college applications. They delved into feedback from Leah's recent auditions, focusing on refining vocal technique, including breathing, chest voice, and enunciation, as well as strategic song selection. The discussion also encompassed essential resume building tips, distinguishing between artistic and musical theater resumes, and effective formatting. Furthermore, Talia provided advice on college application strategies, such as securing recommendations and preparing for auditions, alongside general performance skills like versatility, stage presence, stress management, and script analysis.

Talia gave Miley a singing lesson focused on breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups like sirens, and singing scales to improve pitch and vocal range. Miley practiced the "lava chicken" song and will prepare "Die with a Smile" by Lady Gaga for the next lesson. Talia also communicated with Miley's mom about the techniques they were using to help Miley transition smoothly between chest and head voice.
