Questions and Answers
♪ Where is your studio located?
♪ If I study voice, will the sound of my voice change? With regular, consistent voice study, your voice will still sound like your voice (your body will always be your body) but it will become an enhanced, all-that-you-can-be version of your voice. It will change in quality, becoming more free, resonant, and full. The goal is not to try and make your voice sound like something that it is not. The goal is to unveil the beauty of your own voice by training it in a healthy way, which will boost your confidence and make singing a more enjoyable experience for you. ♪ I am tone deaf and people run for the hills whenever I start to sing. Yes of course! The main reason why you have trouble matching pitch is because you do not know how to get your voice to “go” to the notes you hear. Once you get used to how it feels in your voice to sing all the notes in your range (which will expand with study) you will develop the muscle memory that will enable you to match pitch all the time. And once you get used to singing this way, you really will begin to sound like someone who CAN sing. ♪ I am a beginner, with no prior musical training. Do you teach beginners? Yes, I do teach people who have no prior musical training. You do not need to know how to read music. All you need to have is the desire to sing. ♪ It seems difficult to find a voice teacher that will teach children under 12, and I see My theory is that if a child loves to sing, she is going to sing all the time anyway, so why not give her guidance that will help her to help keep her voice free of potential problems such as poor posture, shallow breathing and forced tone production? I feel that developmentally, most children at age 9 are ready to begin working their singing voice in a more concentrated manner with private voice lessons, and there is no harm that can be done. For me, I enjoy being around their wonderfully positive energy and I feel like I can relate very well with them. However, I am of the opinion that children under the age of 9 are better suited for music classes such as those with a Kodaly or Orff-based emphasis. Their stage of development is such that private voice lessons are not of much benefit, for at this age they need to have a program that combines singing with movement and the playing of instruments. This sort of thing is not my emphasis as I have no experience with this type of music education.
