Our voice is a musical instrument unlike any other, and each of ours is completely unique and so personal! Students of all ages will learn vocal technique, breathing exercises, musicality, basic theory and delve into improvisation and song writing when ready. My goal is to make students comfortable exploring their voice as well as inspiring a love of music within. We will do emotion exploration and expression with exercise like emotion cats (meow!) or another favorite animal along with other exercises fun for your kid.  Students help choose songs he or she wants to sing, while styles will range from musical theater to rock and even opera.
