My Hopes and Expectations for Students
In both the private lesson setting and as a member in one of my choirs, my goal is to teach you how to make your voice sound more powerful, how to use vocal technique to expand your range and expression, and how to become more confident in vocal performances. In addition, every vocalist should have the ability to learn new music on their own, and therefore should learn to read music.
In order to practice at home, vocalists need access to a keyboard. A small keyboard will suffice, as the student will be playing vocal lines and won't need the large range of a piano. In addition, it is helpful to have a device that can both record and playback MP3s, like a smart phone or iPad.
Consistent practice is key to automatizing the techniques you will be learning. One way to make practicing a part of your daily routine is to set aside much-loved activities until after music practice has been done for the day. By saving video games, novels, comic books, etc. until after music practice has been done, not only do these activities motivate students to practice, but they reinforce the practicing, making it all the more enjoyable in the long run.

My Teaching Schedule
I have scheduled 32 weeks of lessons, with six days for making up lessons that have to be missed. Your monthly tuition reserves a block of my time that is set aside specifically for you. If you do have to miss and notify me in advance, I can let other students know the time is open for make up lessons. If everyone is so thoughtful, the hope is that every student can make it to 32 lessons throughout the academic year.
