Vocal coaching is usually provided to students or musicians with some degree of pre-existing vocal proficiency and experience and are looking to refine their vocal technique, abilities and performance artistry, prepare for an audition and/or bridge some type of skill gap.

Vocal coaching is not to be confused with vocal lessons as coaching is more related to audition and performance preparation and refinement. Coaching allows for the development of a more extensive vocal repertoire. For example, some vocalists may need to develop a set of songs for performance and may need some coaching with technique, stylistic interpretation and performance delivery, etc.

   University Preparation for Vocalists

Students looking for university or college undergraduate and graduate degree preparation are provided with a well rounded music education necessary for successful entrance into any advanced degree program in music or the performing arts.

In addition to voice, lessons are uniquely designed and geared toward the first year college or university curriculum of the school of choice. Focus can sometimes be placed upon areas needing improvement or refinement while allowing for a broad base of education in music history, theory, performance, composition, sight reading and any other area of unique interest or desire.

   Professional and Semiprofessional Musicians

Some musicians may be looking to enhance or refine their vocal capabilities and creative potential for recording or performance.

Some may be looking to land a role in a local Atlanta musical theatre production and others may have already released their first cd, but are looking to refine their abilities for live performance.

Yet, others may have considerable proficiency on one or more instruments, but have a strong desire to develop their vocal capabilities as well. Often times, these lessons are centered around vocal production, stylistic interpretation and effective performance techniques.
