Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI get to know you first! From there, I talk about my experience, and I begin teaching music theory and/or practice depending on what your experience level necessitates.
Lesson 2-3I use musictheory.net to drill weak skills, and then I play/sing through your music with you to help you learn it.
Lesson 4-10I begin with some stretching exercises, and then we approach theory. From there, we continue on to your repertoire and begin to work through technique.
Lesson 11+Once the student has learned the basics, we get to the fun stuff! I have some movement and emotion cards to play with, and we will get up and move around the room to help the flow of creativity.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWith advanced singers, I evaluate their level, and once we have found some skills to drill, I assign repertoire accordingly.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I’m working with kids, they need to be able to read. Ideally, no kids under 6.
I teach them to read music just like I would any beginner. Then, I assign them simple songs with easily accessible karaoke tracks so they can practice.
I also give the kids lots of stickers as rewards.
