Lessons and Coachings

for Singer-Songwriters, Jazz, and Pop Singers

​​

Building a Strong Technique

​​

A reliable, consistent technique is foundational for singer-songwriters, jazz, and pop singers. Whether you're performing your original songs, interpreting jazz standards, or delivering powerful pop ballads, a strong technique allows you to connect with your audience and express your artistry fully. I will work with you to hone your technique, discover your strengths, and sing with the confidence you need to captivate audiences and fully express your unique style.​

Achieving a Clear, Authentic Sound

​​

A clear, balanced sound is crucial for contemporary singers. Good intonation and a strong, healthy tone are essential whether you're performing in an intimate jazz club, a bustling coffeehouse, or a large concert venue. I focus on helping you develop a sound that is both authentic and versatile, ensuring that your voice remains free of strain and capable of expressing the full range of your musicality. We will work together to cultivate a vocal style that resonates with your personal and artistic identity, allowing you to stand out in the competitive music industry.

Finding Your Unique Repertoire

Selecting the right songs is key to showcasing your unique voice and style. Whether you're writing your own songs or interpreting existing material, the right repertoire can make all the difference in auditions, performances, and recordings. I work with my students to identify and perfect the ideal pieces that suit their voice and artistic vision. We'll explore a wide range of material, from contemporary hits to classics, ensuring that you have a diverse and compelling setlist. Sometimes, exploring different genres can reveal new strengths and possibilities, broadening your artistic horizons and enhancing your versatility as a performer.

Exercises and Methods to Help Strengthen Technique

​

Each lesson begins with vocal exercises tailored to your specific needs and goals. These exercises will help you to build technique, improve vocal control, and deepen your understanding of healthy vocal production. I encourage my students to practice these exercises outside of lessons, fostering independence and self-awareness in their vocal development. My goal is to equip you with the tools to assess and improve your own singing, enabling you to maintain and enhance your vocal health and agility over time. We will cover every aspect of singing, including breath control, pitch accuracy, and dynamic expression, to ensure that you have a comprehensive skill set.​​
