You’re All Set!

Please read the Student Assessment details below. Teachers will fill in the assessment fields during your first session.

Student Assessment

During your Vocal Assessment, I conduct a comprehensive interview and mini-audition for all new and transfer voice students, following MTNA (Music Teachers National Association) and NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) best practices. This structured process helps understand each singer’s background, skills, and goals to ensure a personalized and effective teaching approach.

New Students

  • Basic vocal warm-up to assess range and flexibility
  • Pitch matching and ear training exercises
  • Sight-reading a simple piece and performing a song of choice
  • Introduction to basic vocal techniques
  • Observation of response to instruction

Transfer Students

  • Vocal warm-up and technical exercises
  • Performance of a previously studied piece with feedback
  • Sight-reading and ear training exercises
  • Discussion on breath control, resonance, articulation
  • Constructive feedback on responsiveness
