Frequently Asked Questions
What do you teach?
My emphasis is teaching a healthy, reliable and efficient vocal technique based on concrete ideas surrounding natural breathing, physiology, and vocal mechanics to suit all contemporary music styles.
The lessons are designed to be fun, practical, interactive and informative. Every voice is unique, so each lesson is tailor made to the individual needs of the student. I teach all styles of contemporary voice – Pop, R&B, Jazz and Musical Theatre, covering all aspects of singing including:
| * Repertoire Choice | * Body Alignment |
| * Efficient Breath Management | * Vowel modification and speech level singing |
| * Performance and Microphone Technique | * Song interpretation |
| * Stage presence | * Audition Preparation |
I have an open door policy with younger students, where parents are welcome to observe lessons at there own discretion.
What are your qualifications?
I currently have a Graduate Diploma In Music Studies (Vocal Pedagogy) and a Masters in Contemporary Music (Performance) at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.
What to bring?
An exercise book, USB stick, Backing track and lyrics, a recording devise to record lessons is optional. I have an extensive library of music and backing tracks on hand, and I’m happy to share them with my students, however, I do encourage students to take responsibility for their own music. I am happy to show students how to purchase and download backing tracks from the Internet.
