About
Experienced voice teacher dedicated to helping your voice stand out with personalized techniques and proven vocal strategies. I have several years of experience as a vocal coach, working with beginners and intermediate singers across various genres including gospel, pop, and classical. I started out singing in church choirs and later trained formally in vocal techniques and performance. I've helped students prepare for live performances, studio recordings, and auditions. My approach is practical and results-oriented, and many of my students have gone on to perform confidently in public setting.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is engaging and student-centered, primarily conducted through interactive video calls. I focus on clear communication, constructive feedback, and practical vocal exercises tailored to each student's needs.
Curriculum
I use a combination of vocal warm-ups, pitch control drills, breathwork, and song interpretation. Recommended texts include Seth Riggs’ *Singing for the Stars and online resources customized for the student's skill level and goals.
Credentials & Affiliations
I am trained in both contemporary and classical voice techniques. I am currently pursuing a degree at Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, with a dual focus on Vocal and Music Education, as well as Chemistry Education. I have also completed online music theory trainings and hold a certification in Music Theory from Alison, further strengthening my foundation in vocal technique, performance, and pedagogy. Professionally, I have performed in various live productions, including hangouts, end-of-year events, church programs, and local shows across Nigeria. I have worked both as a soloist and as part of vocal ensembles, exploring genres like gospel, pop, choral, and soul music. These experiences have sharpened my vocal control, stage presence, and interpretation skills.
I have taught voice to beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners at schools in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. My teaching style is personalized to each student's vocal needs, with a focus on breath support, pitch accuracy, tone development, vocal health, and building confidence. I conduct remote sessions via Zoom and Google Meet and offer structured, goal-oriented lesson plans tailored to each student's progress.
