Studio Piano Play

HistoryI started teaching when i was working on my MFA in vocal performance at the University of Florida.SpecialtiesI teach the basics of voice use. The student learns how to breathe and how to listen to and feel their voice. They learn to analyze what they are doing and how to adjust. Then, we apply the basic techniques to whatever style of singing they want to do. But voice training is a very slow and deliberate process; maturity and patience are pretty important. I charge $70/hr with an intro rate of $60/hr for one month. You can find a less expensive alternative at a music store, but you might get a person who also teaches violin, guitar or piano. I teach only voice and have been doing successfully for quite some time. See paragraph below about NATS. Mainly at first, we do exercises and acquaint the student with their instrument so that they will have a knowledge that will get them started and keep them out of voice trouble their whole career. After about 3 mos or maybe a bit sooner, we start on simple songs. You will pick the style and repertoire that you want to work on.
