What I love about Zoom Lessons - WAY BETTER!

In a Zoom lesson students are "mic-ed" which is more realistic on how someone sounds singing non-classical music. The computer mic is efficient. And the share screen option is priceless. I can play videos and such where it's easy to see and hear on the student's end. Plus I have students all over the US and in Ireland, England, Australia etc. No worries about travel time, parking, running late, forgotten items, etc.. And you get a $30 discount!

In my Zoom classes, people are meeting other people and starting to collaborate in co-writing originals, people who might never have met otherwise. Very exciting! And since you are muted, you can sing along and learn without disruption.

What to expect at a lesson

At your first lesson, I will begin with a brief discussion about any prior vocal training you may have had (if any) your vocal goals, and any additional questions. Then I teach you basic vocal anatomy and terminology with audio or visual examples when needed.

Next, I will have you sing part of a song you already know, see what is working and give you some out of the box instruction. Be forewarned, you will be making some silly ugly noises that sound nothing like singing. Trust me, it is all part of the process. And it's a lot more effective than hours of boring classical scales. 

Follow up lessons depend entirely on your goals and needs. I rarely do any type of scales exercises or warmups during the lesson unless I think it will help you. We mostly work on songs, make weird noises, and laugh a lot. You will be surprised on what fast results you will get with my unusual approach. By the end of each lesson, you will hear and feel a difference. And in just a few weeks, you will be surprised by the amount of improvement.  I promise!  It will be fun!

Come with a song you already know, perhaps one you struggle with. You can sing without music, or with a karaoke version, or if you play an instrument you can accompany yourself. You can record the lesson to have something to practice with and track your progress. 

Singing Lessons Held On-line

Unlike in person lessons where I need to allow 15 minutes between students for parking, traffic, or coming and going at the door, with Zoom there is barely any down time since you are just a click away.  I pass that non-wasted time back to you saving you $30 for choosing a Zoom lesson. Easier on me, cheaper for you! And you don't have to be in northern California!

I also do on-line group Singing Classes. Contact me for details.

Professional Vocal Evaluation

If you would like a vocal evaluation, provide me with a live video recording (or a link) and I will spend 30 minutes doing a professional vocal evaluation for you: what is going well, and what you can do to improve based on what I see and hear. Cost is the same as a Standard On-line Lesson. I'll send you a video review.

What should you look for in a singing teacher?

I often have people ask me to sing something to see if I'm a good teacher. I have no problem doing that but... just because someone can sing, doesn't make them a good teacher. Would you take your car to be fixed by an accomplished race car driver? Or would you rather have a great mechanic that keeps you running your best.

A good singing teacher is someone who is nurturing but not patronizing, and will tell you the truth without discouraging you. The goal is to help you sound the way you want, not the way they want, get positive results with clear instruction, and of course, feels joy in your success. Most of all they should provide a safe, fun place to create and grow.
