MY TEACHING METHOD IS:
Clear
My intention is to teach with clarity. You will be able to
apply
principles from our lessons in your practice without my
presence. I
use techniques that are rooted in vocology and motor
learning
theory. Though the science behind the magnificence of the
voice
can be complicated, I strive to make these concepts as clear
as
possible. I am prescriptive in my approach; you will leave
each
meeting with three exercises that are tailored to your
current vocal
challenges.
Fun
My intention is that each lesson uplifts you as a singer, and as a person. Unlocking the voice takes dedication and heart. Making music is a freeing and joyful experience. I strive to strike the balance between lightheartedness and function to serve you optimally.
Holistic
My intention is to provide comprehensive tools to support
the
voice. Singing is a unique form of music making. It uses
the
physical body as the instrument, and the imagination
and
emotions as fuel. I bring in elements of my training in
yoga
(Kripalu 200-hr Yoga teacher), dance (JourneyDance©
Guide),
and meditation into my lessons. These practices
enhance
awareness, and mastery of the mind, body, and emotions.
