What happens in a lesson
- 01
Step 1: Breathe and warm up
The first few minutes are easy breaths and gentle sounds, and then a song the student already knows.
- 02
Step 2: Work on one song
The teacher picks one thing to build: a phrase, a breath or a part to hold against another voice.
- 03
Step 3: Plan the week
The lesson ends with the song sung through, and a short plan for practice at home.
At home
A folder, a pencil and a glass of water
A voice needs no instrument, and a lesson needs very little. Bring a folder for the songs your teacher gives you and a pencil to mark the breaths.
Ask your teacher before you buy a keyboard or a book of songs. Singing a little most days helps more than one long session on the weekend, and a glass of water nearby is enough to begin.
Not sure which lesson to start with?
A placement visit is the way to find out. A teacher listens, you talk, and we match you.
