What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Beginners and intermediate singers should expect to learn how to breathe and support the breath, and how to find a consistent and relaxed tone while building and extending the range of the voice. We'll work on vowel placement and good diction, song interpretation and performance, and build up the repertoire. Advanced singers can expect to work a lot of repertoire and roles, clean up technique difficulties, and build their voice to be as strong as possible.

      Classical Voice-In home studio

      Stan is an outstanding teacher and has an amazing understanding of the human voice. I am so much more comfortable and expressive with my voice since working with him over the past year and a half. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their abilities professionally.
