A Broad Lesson Overview
For one-hour lessons: the first half-hour will be spent on strengthening the voice itself.

If your voice is in great shape: we’ll focus on more advanced exercises to keep it so and to make your voice even better.
The second half of the lesson will be spent on repertoire and ear training.
