  • Every voice lesson is tailored to the individual, but your first session will typically begin with a brief conversation about your background if there is any previous training, your goals, and any questions you may have. This helps shape the direction of your lessons moving forward.

    From there, the session is usually divided into two parts: vocal warm-ups and technique exercises, followed by song work. You’re encouraged to bring a song you’ve been working on or one you’re excited to explore with your teacher.

    The balance between technique and repertoire will vary depending on your goals, ensuring that each lesson is customized to support your growth as a singer.
