Free Your Voice studio works a tuition based, full year system. I believe that a full year commitment to your studies is crucial for optimal vocal growth.

The Essentials:
Breathing, support, placement, relaxation, projection, increasing vocal range, volume, resonance, diction, how to warm up, posture, and general care and strengthening of your voice.

The Polish:
Interpretation, vocal style, phrasing, belting, improvisation, tone, runs, and performance skills.

The Extras:
Audition preparation,  harmonizing,  music theory, sight singing, building a repertoire, and more! Singers may choose the lesson time based on their individual needs. Lessons are given in Los Altos Hills, California.

The Process:
Free Your Voice Studio is ideal for the motivated, goal-oriented performer. In this studio, we prioritize storytelling through singing - we are singing actors, not just singers!

Studio membership is limited. How to apply:
1) Contact the studio
2) We’ll schedule a 15-minute complimentary Zoom chat to discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have
3) If we decide to proceed, you’ll have the opportunity to book an hour-long discovery lesson to determine if we’re a good fit
4) After that lesson, you’ll either be offered a spot in the studio or referred to a trusted colleague

Here are the awesome benefits of studio membership that will be included in your tuition. So much more than just our time together!
