Singing lessons overview
My teaching approach focuses on creating a relaxed and expressive environment where students build confidence through breathing techniques and affirmations. Every session with begin with a short stretch and a warmup routine that has been tailored to each student's specific expectations. Specializing in pop singing, folk singing, classical singing, and general singing lessons, I use a variety of tech tool like audio equipment, online platforms, and interactive software to enhance personalized tutoring.
