YOU DON"T! I will give you as many helps as possible so that you won't be lost and better yet, learn the basics. The first bonus you receive will show you the notes on the piano as well as how to navigate through sheet music. For those of you who are more aural in your learning style, I will have recordings of the exercises as a part of the lessons as a fully packaged bonus later on in the course!

This course is for anyone who knows they need to understand and develop a regular vocal routine in order to strive for excellence and longevity. Just like in my private studio, this course is for beginning singers through professionals! Here are some examples... You can be a naturally gifted professional with a regular gig, and still have never taken formal training. Your voice is that's beginning to tire out and you need to learn control! You may be a worship leader at church who took lessons in college but because of the stress of your job, developed bad habits that need to be corrected. You could be a very young musical theater singer that is starting to see her/his potential and want to develop good technique before you start to push your voice too far. You could be a talented student bound for college and needing to expand your choral knowledge you learned in high school to a more soloistic approach to nail your college audition! These are just a few, but if you know that you have a good handle on your voice and talent already and just need to develop the discipline of your skill, this is for you!

Absolutely. I will of course be available during the weekly Q & A sessions where you can submit your questions ahead of time. But I will also be available through Facebook Messenger and email.

This is a great place to start. I'll always remind you that it is not a replacement for private 1 on 1 coaching, but it will give a foundation to start growing from. I also will be available to keep you heading in the right direction.

In my private 1 on 1 studio, I typically will start teaching around the age of 13, but there is not actually a set age. It is individual and there are different things a teacher can focus on at different ages and throughout the development of the voice. I also like to base the training on level of performance. If a young singer is already on stage, I say get them in training so they develop good technique and don't have a chance to form any bad habits. The material in this course demands a bit more discipline, self-motivation, and understanding of the body/voice, so if you are purchasing for a young singer consider using it as a teaching tool to use together. The good news is, if you purchase the course for a singer who just isn't quite ready yet, remember the lifetime access? This is for as long as the course exists. And if for some reason I have to take the course down, I will let you know 30 days in advance so you can download all you need.

No problem at all! I get being busy! It can benefit you by going through the course together with other of your fellow singers in the program for accountability, encouragement, and community, but it is not mandatory by any means! You will have lifetime access to the course for as long as it exists! This means that I will also archive the Facebook Q & A sessions too, where I'm sure you will find lots of good helps and suggestions. I also give you good tricks to practice your voice on the fly...creating ways to pull in your voice training into your existing performances or just your daily life! This gives you an opportunity to work on the course even when you don't have a ton of time during the day to set aside.

My hope is that you always sound like the best version or YOU! My hope also is that you can hear and just as important, feel the improvement at many points in the course! I'm sure I don't need to go into a lot of detail here because we all know that we learn in different ways and at different paces. So this will vary from student to student depending on their experience with vocal pedagogy, performance, and even your daily life, job, and habits! Some of my beginning students see improvement quicker than my seasoned ones because they haven't had time to build any bad habits! And sometimes, I'll say ONE thing to a student who is stuck and it will fix FOUR different issues! Remember that, for some of you who are tackling vocal issues, it took a while to build those not-so-great habits, so it may take longer than 7 weeks to redirect them. However, you SHOULD be able to recognize where you need improvement based on the work that you put into the course. And remember, this course helps you to create and build a vocal warm-up routine that will give you CONTINUED growth! I still do some of the vocalize I learned when I was in college! Let me also say...and this is important...this course will NOT replace what you can gain from working 1 on 1 with a private coach. I have studied with at least a dozen teachers over the years and have loved my experience with each one of them, taking away something different from every one. Another set of ears will hear your voice VERY differently than how you hear yourself so nothing can quite replace that. And that alone is worth paying a bit more for lessons if and when you can ADD that to your training!

You will be given access to one model each week for the 6 weeks. (Still having access to all the previous modules as the weeks progress.) This is to give you ample time to dive into each of the lessons and implement them before moving on to the next module. I do this to allow you to focus on a few things at a time and master them. This helps you to make real changes that will last in your voice and warm-up routine as well as keep your momentum to change high each week.
