About your music teacher
Hi! I’m Andrea Lee. Please allow me to introduce myself… A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Music Theory as a Voice Major from Susquehanna University. I have over 25 years of experience as a performing singer/songwriter/composer, and have been teaching music lessons for over 20 years. I believe that each student’s musical journey is as unique as their own fingerprint. With my lesson plans, be it for vocal coaching, general music theory/reading, or composition lessons, my students will always be respected for their individual style. Be assured that every lesson that I provide will be tailored specifically for your needs, your goals, and your style of learning. In addition to teaching voice and vocal pedagogy, I also instruct music theory, musical arranging, and composition. Music is an all encompassing art form, and I am a firm believer in studying every angel that we choose to explore in order to obtain a more clear and complete understanding of our musical language. While I am classically trained, and my personal songwriting style is best described as “Americana - Folk”, I am very much a student of “the school of rock” and also vocally perform rock, big band jazz, country, folk, musical theatre (I have been in my share of productions), and some occasional blues. I do strum guitar quite a bit as well. I am available for students of all levels and all ages. I’m here to help you build a foundation, and/or build it up so that you have the power to do what you enjoy and want to study - Sing! I do require at least 24 hours notice for scheduling and will always accommodate to the best of my ability. I look forward to working with you!

Music lessons at a glance
My first lesson with any student begins with a proper introduction, including understanding their needs and reasons for seeking out lessons. I also care to know what the student’s goals are and how I may help them achieve this. My lessons are always personalized for the needs of my student. We will work together to achieve the student’s goals, and always study the music that the student chooses. I will always have some suggestions for practice, and sometimes they may challenge the student’s “wheelhouse”, but this is only meant to give that little “push” to further and encourage learning. Most of all, I aim for my lessons to be an enjoyable, educational, and well rounded experience for my students. Music is a beautiful language, and my promise is to teach all of my students with customized lessons that will allow them to achieve their goals.

The student and tutor worked on vocal warm-ups, breath control, and challenging mode scales to improve vocal range and register transitions. The student then practiced singing three prepared songs, receiving feedback on performance aspects such as vocal projection, breath support, diction, and intentionality at the start of songs, with a focus on exploring alternative octaves for one song.
