I offer lessons to anyone interested in learning classical singing, but my techniques are especially useful for aspiring professionals. 1) Assessment of Strengths and Weaknesses Artists need encouragement. If I fail to encourage you, do not take another lesson from me. That said, I will never simply tell you what you want to hear. I will help you navigate the incredibly difficult challenge of accepting critique and becoming stronger through that process. As an artist, you strive for affirmation and encouragement while simultaneously seeking out guidance and correction of your flaws. I strive to provide both things in equal parts. My goal is your growth and your quickest possible progress. 2) How to Sound More (or Less) Operatic One of the most frustrating forms of feedback I have heard in my singing career is, "that sounds a little too operatic" or "that sounds a little too musical theater." What do these general comments mean on a technical level? One way to navigate this subjective world of taste and personal preference is by leaning into the technical details of singing and focusing on one aspect at a time: articulation of text, breath support, legato, and vibrato. One of the biggest issues of taste is how we pronounce words, both consonants and vowels. Another is how legato do we sing? Thirdly, where should we place the resonance, in the mask or in the throat? It's important to understand that an opera singer's understanding of "throaty" is very different than a layman's understanding of the exact same word. A general listener may well confuse an open-throated operatic sound with a throaty sound, since they are so unaccustomed to hearing such sounds. 3) How to "cover" your voice in order to sing high notes comfortably and beautifully. One of the greatest achievements a singer can acquire is the ability to sing high notes in a healthy, powerful and beautiful way. Although one can read about this technique, it must be heard, observed, and mimicked in order to be fully understood and replicated.
