GROW Voice Studio is located in Boston's Back Bay and serves students of all ages and abilities providing a solid foundation of vocal technique while helping you explore and excel in a particular style or styles of singing. Students ages 5-12 join the studio through semi-private voice lessons and/or musicianship training as a solid foundation. Students 12 and older learn a more formal vocal technique, musicianship and elementary keyboard skills. All students are encouraged to explore their vocal instruments and are instructed in the correct production of their desired style(s). Whether you are interested in Classical Singing, Music Theatre or Pop/Rock, I can help you sing healthfully in that style.
This is a performing studio. There are regular performance classes which are strongly recommended for all students, as well as a yearly studio recital. Students may also be invited to participate in NATS (the National Association of Teachers of Singing) auditions as appropriate.
Each lesson is divided into technical work and repertoire. I base my teaching largely on Italian belcanto techniques, which I have adapted over the years to mix in other teaching elements. I work to develop a healthy balance between breath and an efficient/open vocal production within the requirements of the style we are working on. I describe this as building identical foundations with strong supports and then decorating with the veneers desired for the design you need. Whether you are spinning a beautiful classical line or belting out a pop tune I will help you do it in a healthy manner.
