They're Singin' Praises
Lessons are generally 45 minutes in length. (Hour lessons are available if preferred). Lessons include technique and repertoire work. We tailor the lessons to the particular needs of our students. We deal with all aspects of audition preparation from repertoire to acting coaching. Singing is a very personal and vulnerable process; therefore, we create a nurturing and safe environment in which our students are free to take risks.

Technique:
Gillian is a versatile pedagogue. Not only was she classically trained as an opera singer, she understands healthy belting for musical theatre, pop, rock, and r&b. She masterfully teaches you how your vocal instrument works and how to get it to work for you consistently through a systematic approach.

Vocal Coaching: Claire believes that songs need to be learned correctly and concretely. Once the songs are taught rhythmically and the singer feels completely comfortable with a tune, Claire aids the student to approach the song from a different angle altogether and experiment with it.

Acting Coaching: Gillian brings her rich experience as a performer as well as teacher to this aspect of the lesson. She encourages the student to make bold, personal character choices and to develop a new level of emotional freedom and awareness which support the communication of a song.
