What do I get for the price I pay for lessons?

- Voice Lessons: - i.e. not just songs, but at least 40 minutes of technique, solely focusing on your particular voice.
- Vocal Coaching: - (yes there is a difference between voice coaching and voice lessons) Voice coaching is the coaching of songs - if you have a recital or just want to
learn new songs - I will teach you how to sing them correctly - using the techniques you have just learned in your lesson.
- Theory of Music: - You are taught theory, all the way from basic, to an area where you understand how to read music and understand the technical side of it too.
- Aural and Listening: - You are taught to improve you ear - sing in tune - cause you can HEAR it.
- Sight-reading: - With ongoing sight-reading, you quickly learn to read music.

What else do I get?

- a DVD of lessons, if I want them
- a CD of pieces created for me, pertaining to the music I am currently learning.
- Transposed music - re-written and edited - transcribed onto computer so that I can sing the pieces I love in a key that works for me.
