Training for every voice!

COMMON QUESTION:

I REALLY WANT TO SING, BUT I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL OR A PERFORMER.  SHOULD I TAKE LESSONS?   

Yes!  Voice is an instrument like any other in that you must learn how to play it.   Most amazing professional singers don't just wake up and make beautiful sounds all on their own. A quality singing teacher can help you understand your voice and learn how to use it!

Voice is unlike other instruments in that it is uniquely yours.  When you hear someone sing, their voice is instantly recognizable.  You may connect your voice to your very identity.  Learning how to use your voice skillfully to make music can be deeply satisfying and even allow access to emotion and expression not attainable elsewhere. 

​​And, YES - anyone can learn how to sing with practice and determination!  Whether you perform or not doesn't matter.  Sing for you!
