We believe singing should be both fun and healthy. 

Our voice curriculum is designed to nurture all singers, build strong foundations, and spark a lifelong love of music.

What We Teach

1. Warm-Ups & Healthy Habits

We start every lesson with playful warm-ups that connect the body, breath, and voice: stretches, breathing games, sirens, humming, and lip trills. These help students sing freely and confidently while protecting their voices.2. Vocal TechniqueYoung singers learn the essentials of good singing:

• Posture and breathing support
• Resonance and vocal placement
• Pitch accuracy and range development
• Articulation and clear diction
• Exploring chest and head voice safely

3. Repertoire & Song Study

We choose songs that are age-appropriate, enjoyable, and inspiring. Students explore:

• Folk songs, rhymes, and simple melodies for beginners
• Musical theatre, classical, and contemporary songs as skills grow
• Canons, partner songs, and early harmony to build ensemble skills
• Repertoire in different languages, with emphasis on clear pronunciation and expression

4. Styles & Creativity

From classical to pop, jazz to musical theatre, we encourage young singers to try different styles. Students experiment with phrasing, tone, and improvisation, helping them discover their unique voice.

5. Performance Skills

Confidence grows through performance! Students practice:

• Sharing music in recitals and community concerts
• Stage presence, expression, and storytelling
• Managing performance nerves in a supportive environment

Healthy Singing for Every Voice 

We believe that every individual, regardless of age, voice type, or musical background, deserves the opportunity to develop their voice in a healthy and nurturing environment. Our Voice Department is committed to guiding students on a journey to discover and enhance their unique sound, focusing on holistic voice practices that foster strength, confidence, and longevity in their vocal development. 

Holistic Approach to Voice 

 We take a mindful, body-centered approach to teaching voice, recognizing that the voice is not just an isolated instrument, but an extension of the whole self. Our teaching places great emphasis on breathing techniques, mindfulness, and the overall well-being of the student. By focusing on these foundational aspects, students build the stamina and vocal hygiene necessary for a long, healthy singing career. Our holistic practices not only improve vocal strength but also cultivate a sense of confidence and self-awareness. Through mindfulness techniques, students learn to connect with their breath and body, reducing tension and enhancing vocal freedom. These practices empower singers to express themselves more fully, whether on stage or in everyday life. 

Empowering Artistry Through Individual Strengths 

We understand that each singer brings their own set of strengths and challenge. We focus on identifying and nurturing each student's unique abilities. Our teachers work closely with students to develop their skills in performance, musical expression, and interpretation, helping them become well-rounded, confident performers. Technique is finely tuned to each individual, ensuring that their vocal development is sustainable and sound. Our goal is not only to improve vocal technique but to help students find their artistic voice. Through repertoire selection and personalized guidance, we help students explore various styles and genres, encouraging them to embrace their individuality and express themselves through music.

Repertoire Tailored to Each Student 

Students are given repertoire that is carefully chosen to match their age, skill level, and vocal development. This ensures that they are both challenged and supported as they grow. Whether a beginner or a more advanced singer, each student is guided through a range of music that aligns with their interests and goals. All music genres and vocal styles are embraced in our voice studio. Whether students are drawn to classical, jazz, pop, musical theatre, or contemporary styles, we welcome diversity in artistic expression and strive to equip students with the versatility to succeed in any genre. 

Voice lessons for boys

Young male singers can benefit greatly from private lessons from elementary, through the adolescent voice change and through high school. It is important for boys who sing in elementary to continue through the voice change so they can build a strong foundation in using every register of the voice in a healthy way and have good body awareness. Boys who sing solos in theatre or in a chorus can benefit from private voice lessons to get more direction in vocal technique and communication in song that they cannot get in a rehearsal. Male singers in private lessons can have a dedicated time to prepare pieces for auditions but can also have time to learn classical literature that gives them a more well-rounded repertoire and knowledge of vocal music history. Singing in foreign languages is an excellent exercise for young singers to practice diction and articulation, which translates directly to singing and speaking on stage.
