Curriculum
HOW DOES THE VOICE LESSON WORK?
We work on the first part with exercises to warm up and develop technique (they are easy, I promise!) and then comes the best part, where we put this into a song that the student chooses. And then we also work on the musical and interpretative aspects of each piece, as necessary. Over time, the teacher may suggest new songs, appropriate to the student's level, their voice type, etc., always respecting their musical style.
