PRIVATE VOICE LESSONS
Vocal Instructors- James Crowder, Kim Snell, and Heather Stamper

San Angelo Broadway Academy is proud to announce private voice lessons for students ages 7 to adult . Students will study breathing technique, vocal placement, musicality, music theory, and ear training. Lessons with younger students will also consist of focusing on areas that will prepare them for when their voice begins to mature. Repertoire depends on the age of the student. Classical and musical theater will be used with students as well as applying their skills to other styles, such as jazz or pop, if they so desire.

Singing, like any other artistic interpretive expression, is at the same time reproductive and creative. Reproductive in that it reproduces written music created by the composer and creative in that it adds additional dimensions to the work in respect to sound quality, presentation and interpretation. You will learn the necessary skills and techniques to succeed in your chosen career path with singing. The following skills and repertoire will be learned: - Relaxation, - Breathing Technique, - Voice Technique, - Diction, - Stage Presence    (Poise), - Voice Projection, - Classical Repertoire, - Musicals, - American Art Songs, - and other Various Pieces. San Angelo Broadway Academy is dedicated to the development of the human voice and each person's unique abilities and talents. The voice is the most natural of all instruments, forever tied to each person's soul and body. Each of these dimensions must be studied, applied and synchronized through voice technique, expression and interpretation.
