Dear
Singers, Teachers and Music Directors,
Being
a vocal teacher in today's world is no easy task. Providing an educational
balance between what singers need, what parents want and what the
professional industry demands is quite a challenge. As a young teacher
I found myself strapped for time as I created individual lesson
plans for each student, created warm-up tapes to suit specific needs
and even polishing my piano skills so that I could successfully
accompany singers AND teach voice at the same time. Despite the
love I had for what I was doing, I was frustrated. I believed that
teaching voice, the language of self-esteem and confidence should
be easier, more specific and more organized.
It
was this mindset that led me to create the Sing Smart, Not Hard™
vocal training method and curriculums. My concentration was on specific
details of HOW to sing, HOW to specifically use the voice as instrument
and how to teach singers to APPLY this information to the song material
and singing style of their choice. I personally tested the included
analogies, methods and theories as a professional performer in the
areas of jazz, rock, hard rock, diva ballads and country with great
success. I have now been fortunate enough to witness how effective
these programs are for just about every training situation: from
students training on their own to guided classroom curriculums.
It
is my goal to help put the power of effective teaching in your hands...no
matter what your personal situation, whether you are a beginning
singer or a trained professional needing a vocal mechanic tune-up.
Above
all, I encourage each and every one of you to share yourself through
sincere song performance. Don't just settle for good singing, but
strive to be a musician that breathes life into every tone.
SINGcerely,
Coach
Yvonne
