Lessons with Katrina
I’ve had much experience teaching students in various stages of their musical life, ranging from complete beginners to working professional musicians, and children and adults with special needs. Here are the services I offer:
Voice
I teach classical techniques tailored to your needs– whatever goals you may have, whatever stage of your singing journey you’re in. We start with vocal warm-ups, and then during the remainder of the lesson, we'll sing through music– with respect to diction, acting, and expression. You’ll learn to release tension you’re holding in your body and to deepen your breath. My goal is for you to be able to sing confidently and communicate well with your full, expressive, unique voice.
Music & Sight-Reading
I teach students how to develop skills to be able to learn music on their own and to read it on sight—invaluable skills for those who want to sing either solo or in ensembles. Auditioned community choirs, high school vocal competitions, and professional choirs require their singers to undergo a sight-reading exam, which many find so daunting. I am here to help empower you with tools that you will need to improve your approach to learning music and sight-reading so that they become skills you’re able to use whenever you need!
