Kathleen Myrick, Mezzo-Soprano Singing Lessons All
singing lessons and classes are taught in a supportive, creative and
lighthearted environment. My approach to vocal training and the art of singing
is based on physical and cognitive awareness as well as on a strong foundation
of musical and vocal technique. My goal is to guide you toward achieving your
goals, to find joy and creative expression and to integrate healthy singing
techniques that free your true singing voice.
Typical
singing lessons include voice warm-up and preparation exercises and include
focused "observe and describe" awareness and technical games
combined with singing from song selections of your choice. Time spent in each
portion will depend on what aspect of vocal performance is being worked on,
and on the amount of work you invest outside of, and prior to, the lessons.
The voice lessons are flexible and interactive and can also include practical
coaching and working through of songs and exercises and the development of
awareness patterns and performance skills required to get you to your next
level. Each
voice lesson is individually tailored to your musical development, singing
style, and current vocal awareness and needs. The typical objectives are to
uncover, release and develop your unique singing voice and to develop and
refine awareness skills, vocal techniques and performance skills that you can
take away with you and apply to a lifetime of healthy, productive and
enjoyable singing. Lesson
repertoire explores the skills, techniques and awareness required for healthy
classical, opera or musical theater styles of singing. My
voice studio is located in my home in Selecting
a private teacher and choosing to pursue private voice lessons are an
important investment in your continuing vocal development and your decision
should be rewarded. It is important to evaluate your teacher to see if they
are a match for your personality, the stage you are at, and that they can help
you progress towards achieving your goals. If
you're a singer looking for a new voice teacher, a vocal coach, need specific
work on technique or you need to prepare for an audition, performance or
singing competition, or are new to singing and would like to learn to sing, I
invite you to try out my voice studio by signing up for an introductory voice
lesson. I usually have a waitlist to enter my studio but I can accept a
limited number of new voice students on a space available basis. Class Scheduling
Lessons are available Monday - Friday at established times during the day and some evenings. Evening and weekend lessons may also be scheduled in accordance with my wait list availability, performance and travel schedules. Studio performances, classes and other group events are scheduled by mutual convenience. These events could incur additional charges for hiring musicians or halls. Private Instruction Rates
