Voice Instruction

The study of voice has always been a confusing issue to us. As gigging  musicians since high school, most of the effective singers We've encountered were players that sang. We still believe that to sing and not play an instrument is not the best way. Our experience is that most people calling for vocal lessons are focused on lead singing in a band. Parents have witnessed there child carrying a tune along  with a record, or someone brought the house down at a karaoke contest. The next  thing you know we get a call for vocal lessons. Most of these people should  probably be considering piano or guitar lessons for the purpose of accompanying  themselves. Proper voice instruction should cover the same breathing techniques learned by any wind instrument player. Ear training should be stressed and the student should be aware of the value of being a reliable part or harmony singer.  Styles and repertoire are also a huge part of vocal instruction. We believe that  more misconceptions surround the instruction of voice than any other discipline.  With vocal instruction it is important for us to know what you expect to get from  your lessons. This will help us guide you on the proper course.
