Singing Lessons are structured around the Swedish-Italian Method, which is focused on teaching proper open throat technique, allowing for growth and development in any voice. I focus on developing a rich quality to the voice throughout the whole range. This method heals voices that have had years of strain or misuse, and increases the range of the voice while giving you the tools to keep your voice safe. The technique increases stamina of the vocal cords, range, projection, quality throughout the entire range.
