Singing lessons highlights
My personalized Rock, Blues, and Pop singing lessons focus on three main teaching philosophies. Technical skill-building, creativity, and confidence. I focus on strong foundations for singing such as rhythm, posture, and technique. These technical foundations are pivotal for growing your voice and growing your personal confidence simultaneously. Lessons are interactive and tailored to each learner’s goals, whether they aim to sing casually, perform their favourite song at karaoke, or develop skills that can place them on the path to become a professional singer. I emphasize steady progress, mindful practice, and musical expression, helping students connect deeply with the music they perform. With patience and encouragement, I create a supportive environment where students of all ages can grow, enjoy the process, and develop lasting skills.
Singing concepts taught by Michael
The Student and Tutor discussed the Student's musical background and singing goals, focusing on developing vocal texture, breath support, and confidence. They practiced foundational vocal exercises like lip trills and humming to improve breath efficiency and vocal control, and the Student sang a song before and after these exercises to gauge the impact. Future sessions will continue to focus on breath efficiency and safe tone exploration.
