Voice Lessons

Lessons in the art of singing are offered to students of all abilities and voice types from ages eight through adults.  I teach in my home studio on South Ironwood in South Bend, Indiana.

All prospective voice students (adults and children) must have completed at least one year of piano lessons, and display a strong foundation of basic musical skills.  Up until age 16, voice and piano must be studied concurrently.  You may take the required piano lessons with me, or with another teacher.

I teach classical, Broadway/musical theatre, and folk music exclusively.  I do not teach pop or rock styles.  Vocal exercises are emphasized, with the primary focus on building a healthy and relaxed technique. 

Students will also study the rudiments of music theory, including rhythms and note reading, as well as ear training, music history, and foreign language diction.  Public performances are encouraged, but not required.

Lessons are held weekly. 

Monthly Tuition:

45-minute lessons: $89

60-minute lessons:  $119

Tuition is paid at the first lesson of each month, January through November.  No tuition payment is due in December.

For short-term study, individually priced lessons may be available on a limited schedule.  Please contact me for details and pricing.

To begin study, I require a free, no-obligation interview/audition.  This allows you to see if lessons in my studio will be a good fit for you and your goals.  You do not have to have anything prepared to perform for this brief interview.  Acceptance into my studio is not based on talent, but on motivation, eagerness, openness to teacher's suggestions, musical potential, and attitude.  Please contact me by phone or email to set up this initial meeting or ask any questions you may have.
