Singing and Music Education for Young Children (age 4-7) - Lessons for young children are a combination of singing, rhythmical skills, movement skills, drama, and if requested even introductory theory and piano. A wonderful start in promoting music in a child's life.

Vocal Foundations for the Young Beginner (age 8-12) - Lessons for young beginners includes fundamental vocal technique such as relaxation, projection, breathing, vowel formation, clear diction, and foreign language articulation. Proper posture, elimination of tension, and self-confidence are all strongly promoted as well. Students are also exposed to performing, acting and staging skills. Theory and piano instruction is available upon request.

Vocal and Performance Skills (age 13+) -

Lessons for older children and adults are individually tailored to suit the needs of the client. In addition to fundamental technique, all aspects of vocal technique will be addressed when appropriate. With respect to foreign language articulation, students will also be familiarized with the International Phonetic Alphabet to ensure the most accurate pronunciation possible. Selection of repertoire will depend on the level and desires of each client. Performance and acting skills are strongly enforced.

Vocal Skills for the Advanced or Professional Artist - Lessons for advanced classical vocalists will thoroughly prepare the student for university or any other form of audition or performance. Professional artists whether they perform jazz, mainstream, or classical repertoire will receive lessons targeted on eliminating any technical weaknesses and enhancing their performance ability in their genre of music.

Vocal Strengthening for the Everyday Speaker -

Lessons for the everyday speaker will promote a healthy speaking voice using various technical elements similar to singing. General proper voice technique will promote a healthier voice that will not fatigue after a day of speaking. Projection, clarity, personal confidence, and the elimination of hoarseness can all be attained with correct speaking/voice technique. Lecturers, entrepreneurs, corporate speakers and teachers can all benefit greatly.

VVR Voice Studios will prepare any students who wish to partake in RCM Examinations. Performance opportunities are provided in competition and recital settings. Though I typically promote classical and musical theater repertoire for vocal development; I am more than happy to coach all genres of music providing it is technically appropriate (i.e.proper range). Motivation is the key in excelling and singing something you do not like is simply not possible! I will work with each student/client individually to ensure that they are not only technically progressing but having FUN!!!

I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.

Sincerely,
