Lessons for Adults

 

ADULT LESSONS

 

VOICE LESSONS

Singing is a fantastic shortcut to feeling grounded and embodied. Whether you’re looking to release tension, build confidence, hone your technique, expand your range, or relieve gender dysphoria, I’ve got you covered!

I work with adult students of all ability levels, including:

Trans Voice Alteration Lesson

  • Total beginners (potential goals: learn to sing in tune, sing a song at karaoke, sing in the shower without feeling self conscious)

  • Folks with some experience or who may be returning to singing after some time off (potential goals: strengthen your singing technique, build confidence in your ability, gain more control over your instrument)

  • Experienced singers (potential goals: get a good vocal workout, prepare for an audition, strengthen your technique and expand your range)

  • Trans and gender non-conforming folks

    • Adapt to HRT-related voice changes (potential goals: release strain and tension in your voice, ease cracking and re-access your high range, find a more comfortable, new key for you to sing your favorite songs)

    • Learn to feminize or masculinize your speaking voice (potential goals: get misgendered less on the phone, alleviate dysphoria, determine your target range and shape your ideal voice)

 
 

PIANO LESSONS

I teach piano to students from beginning to intermediate levels.

  • Total beginners (potential goals: learn to read music, develop piano technique, learn to play songs in different styles)

  • Intermediate players with some musical background (potential goals: brush up on or expand your music theory knowledge, learn about triads and seventh chords, challenge yourself to play new pieces, learn to accompany yourself)

SONGWRITING, PRODUCTION & MUSIC THEORY

  • Interested in setting up a home studio and learning to record your own music? Or maybe you’d like to write your own songs but don’t know where to start. I’ll help you get started!

  • Want to learn to write or arrange your own music? I teach in Ableton Live and ProTools. (Potential goals: create an original composition or arrangement on Ableton Live, write a song and record it, add instrumentation on ProTools)

  • Learn how to analyze any song using music theory and apply this knowledge to make your own songs sound better!
