FAQs

A: In our sessions we will work on the specific sounds that YOU wish to learn. Because of this, I ask that you bring in a song or a phrase that you’d like to work on and we will start from there to establish your goals and figure out the best and quickest way of getting you there. Through logic, explanation, sensations, images, and auditive examples we will figure out your personal preference of how to learn and achieve your goals in an accepting and facilitating atmosphere. I’m a pretty goofy instructor so you have lots of fun to look forward to as well!

A: Nope! Great thing about music and singing is that it’s just like any other learned skill - you just need to establish muscle memory by practicing good technique! Of course, each songbird has their own learning style and learning pace, but overall roughly 97-98% of the population can learn how to master their instrument. All you gotta do is start somewhere!

A: This depends. If you have a chronically hoarse voice, please see a laryngologist (and ENT doctor who specializes in the vocal cords) and ask them if you’re able to start singing lessons. If the doctor gives you the OK then we can definitely work on repairing what is probably incorrect muscle memory of the voice. I have helped singers with raspy voices, speech impediments, and partially paralyzed cords regain the steady, clear, dynamic, and powerful sound they once had. All it takes is patience and practice!

A: Nope! Just bring your voice, a song, and some good energy, and I’ll take care of the rest!

A: No sound is dangerous in and of itself. That being said, lack of technique with even the quietest sounds can damage the vocal folds. CVT (Complete Vocal Technique) is one of the methods that I teach and it specializes in teaching these sounds and effects in a healthy and sustainable way. Babies have been known to growl, distort the sound, and scream since their first moments on earth, and they NEVER get hoarse. Just saying.
