The Ottawa Vocal & Dance Vocal Programs
Pop Voice Lessons Ottawa
Whether you are a beginning singer or an emerging professional , you need to perfect your instrument. The key element in this process is, of course, selecting a mentor to train and correctly mold your voice. Who you choose as this instructor is, in many ways, the most important decision you will make. The vocal technique you learn can quite literally make or break your chances as a professional or even a casual singer.
Our teachers are trained to follow
carefully calibrated exercises that work, not simple generic exercises
that are found in vocal self teaching books. Our teachers are
performers that currently make a living from music, and dedicate
themselves to their students with one thing in mind... giving them the
techniques to make them the singer they want to be.
Children and adults are accepted and the lessons are 1/2
hour per week for beginners and 1hour per week for anyone who has had
prior experience or, after being assessed by the teacher, is deemed
intermediate or advanced. Every student will be recommended to take 4
choreography sessions 3 times a year to further train them on stage
presence and a general overview of what it feels to be on a stage
complete with sound and lighting. This is carried out in our performance
room by our choreographers.
1/2 hour lessons are $25.00 * 45 min lessons are $35.00 * 1 hour lessons are $48.00
Classical Voice Lessons Ottawa
Studying singing should be magical and enlightening. Like most things in life - art requires discipline and work but it should also be FUN with the emphasis on having fun.
Lessons are tailored to you, the student. How we work together depends upon where you are in your vocal development, your specific goals in taking voice lessons, and your personal uniqueness. For instance, we like to work at a pace that challenges a student and fosters growth, but we do not want singing to become overwhelming or stressful.
Such a balance varies from student to student, and even from day to day with the same student. Where you are "at" is respected at all times.
Singers play an instrument they can't see. And an instrument that in some ways they themselves must build. Attention to the crucial building blocks of singing - tone, resonance, diction, and breath support are focused upon.The decifpering of the musical language is also addressed, specifically the essential elements of melody and rhythm. Graded examinations are available but not forced upon the student.
Examinations are available through the Royal Conservatory of Music for those studying Classical Voice.
1/2 hour lessons are $25.00 45 min lessons are $35.00 1 hour lessons are $48.00
