Question 1

What are your qualifications and teaching approach?

Accepted Answer

I am a certified Voice Teacher, Vocal Coach and a Vocal Pedagogue with over 10 years of experience in the music industry, working as a recording artist. While some instructors rely solely on their "ear," my approach is deeply rooted in intensive studies to understand the science and anatomy of the voice. I've undergone specialized training with one of the most prominent and influential vocal studios in the United States and the world.  This specialized training means I understand the physiological mechanics of your vocal tract and can design vocal exercises based on your unique vocal biology instead of using a 'one-size-fits-all' approach.

Beyond the physical vocal techniques, I am also a certified Singers Empowerment Coach. I help singers navigate the psychology of performance, providing tools to combat fear, anxiety, and self-doubt so they can sing with genuine confidence. This dual focus on vocal science and mental empowerment ensures a healthy, sustainable, and fearless approach to your artistry.

I am more than happy to provide my formal credentials and certifications upon request.

Question 2

What are voice lessons?

Accepted Answer

Think of voice lessons as your singing gym! We don't just sing songs; we use focused, often "funny-sounding" vocal exercises that are specifically tailored to your unique voice (like singing on "Mum") to train and coordinate the little muscles in your voice box to work together. It’s like doing a specific drill in sports to build "muscle memory." These exercises create a reliable coordination so that when you switch to singing your favorite song's actual lyrics, your voice automatically knows how to hit the notes cleanly and strongly, without you consciously thinking about it! We're building the foundation so you can sing effortlessly and sound amazing!

Question 3

What's the difference between a vocal coach and voice teacher?

Accepted Answer

Imagine you have an upcoming performance and decide to seek out a Vocal Coach. Typically, a Vocal Coach is an experienced performer who shares their knowledge by telling you “what” to do, such as adding a riff, incorporating vibrato, or belting a note in a particular song.

But what if you don't know how to execute those techniques?

This is where a Voice Teacher comes in. You’ll need to focus on the mechanics of your voice.

A Voice Teacher instructs you on the “how” of singing. If you’re unsure how to do a specific technique—like riffing, singing with vibrato, or belting—they will use their expertise in vocal pedagogy to help you develop those skills.

While a Vocal Coach often relies on their stage experience and does not necessarily need formal training in vocal pedagogy, a Voice Teacher MUST be trained in this field to help you build your vocal instrument safely and effectively.

In my studio, I offer both services. I am a Vocal Coach with years of experience as a professional recording artist and a certified Voice Teacher with formal studies in vocal pedagogy.

Question 6

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation Policy

Question 8

What can I expect in my first lesson?

Accepted Answer

For your first lesson, we will start off by discussing any prior vocal training you may have had, your vocal goals, and any additional questions. From there, we will work on a vocal warm up and exercises. Last, we'll cover material song work which will be a song of your choice. Each voice is unique, so each lesson is personalized to meet your individual goals as a singer. Please have a song ready that you would like to start working on.

Question 9

How do online lessons work?

Accepted Answer

Online lessons are just as effective as in person lessons and work the same with the exception of the meeting place. We will meet via Zoom. You will want to make sure that you have a reliable internet connection and that the original sound is enabled so that I will be able to hear those beautiful high notes. (For steps to turn on original sound click here )(youtube.com/watch?v=bEZMRtrSsYY).

Question 10

Are the online lesson recorded?

Accepted Answer

At Ignite Vocal Studio, voice lessons are recorded for student progress tracking. Students receive the recorded lesson via Wetransfer within 1 to 3 business days. If you don't want to be recorded, just let me know. I will also remind you at the beginning of the recording, and I won't post any clips without your consent.

Please review our recording consent form:

Question 11

What should I bring to my lessons?

Accepted Answer

I highly recommend you bring a recording device, such as your phone with a voice recorder, to record your lessons. When using Zoom, I will grant you access to record the session from your device.  This is a great way for you to review and continue practicing what we've worked on. You may also want to have water to stay hydrated. Don't forget to have your selected song ready so that we can work on repertoire.

Question 12

How many lessons do I need?

Accepted Answer

Everyone has a different progress rate. It all depends on your goals, your work ethic, the amount of time you practice in between lessons, and your dedication during lessons. The rate of your progression primarily depends on you. Every lesson provides an opportunity to learn new things to continue in your vocal progression. You are welcome to take as many lessons as you are comfortable with based on availability, but you are not required to take any number of lessons while you study here.

Question 13

What age range do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I work with students ages 8 and older. Please understand that when working with children, their voices do change as they get closer to puberty, and this can happen as early as the age 10 and last up until the age 16. No worries here though. If a student should study with me from a young child into puberty, I will simply adjust their exercises based on their vocal needs at every stage.

Question 14

What genres do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

I am trained how to teach students to apply good technique to all styles and genres without damaging the voice, but for the sake of giving you specifics of what genres I've worked with the most, they will be: gospel, jazz, R&B, pop, and musical theatre.
