Why Take Voice Lessons?

Everyone can sing, but voice lessons help you sing better and practice smarter. Serene focuses on breathing, tone, intonation, diction, phrasing, ear training, and performance.

Using techniques like Lessac, she helps you build a confident, resonant, and expressive voice while improving your communication and consistency.

In-the-Moment Adjustments

In our lessons, we focus on real-time adjustments to refine your technique and sound. By addressing details as you sing, we help you build precision, control, and confidence for a more expressive performance.

Lesson Structure

Our voice lessons are structured to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. Each lesson typically includes:

1. Breathing and Vocal Exercises: We start with exercises to warm up your voice and improve your breathing technique, which is essential for good vocal control. These exercises are designed to improve your vocal range, tone, and flexibility. They help in developing a strong and healthy voice.

2. Song Repertoire: We work on songs that suit your voice and interests. This part of the lesson focuses on applying the techniques you’ve learned to actual music.

3. In-the-Moment Adjustments: As you sing, we make real-time corrections to address any issues and refine your performance.

4. Interpretation and Expression: We help you convey the emotion and message of the song, making your performance more impactful.

5. Feedback and Homework: At the end of each lesson, you’ll receive feedback and specific exercises to practice at home.
