Understanding Vocal Technique: Building a Solid Foundation
No matter what your favourite style of music is, in order to gain vocal mastery, it’s essential to focus on honing basic techniques and foundational elements. Breathing, posture, resonance, vocal placement and more all play an important role in developing a stronger vocal range and delivery. Vocal lessons teach students how to master these elements individually and collaboratively, giving them the tools they need to expand their current skills and focus on any necessary areas of improvement. Through personalized feedback and tailored instruction, vocal students learn how to harness the full potential of their voice and lay the groundwork for further growth and development.
Developing Vocal Range and Flexibility
Each music style presents its own unique vocal challenges, from holding long, powerful notes for Broadway or classical performances to learning how to enunciate in other languages or handle the quick syllables found in pop and rock music. Musicworks’ instructors will hone in on your current range and develop a tailored plan designed to help foster the skills you need to perform your chosen genre while also growing your overall range and vocal flexibility.
Tackling Diverse Music Styles
As we mentioned above, each music genre has unique vocal needs. In addition to learning core fundamentals, our instructors will dial in on the foundational element of each specific type of music to set you up for success. Rock and metal vocalists, for example, benefit from learning how to grow and project from the back of their throat, whereas classical and pop singers may focus more on developing a stronger head and nasal tone to deliver higher, long-sustained notes. From mastering vocal phrasing and interpretation to incorporating stylistic embellishments and performance techniques, you’ll gain the necessary tools and insights to thrive in any musical setting.
Connecting with Your Audience
While plenty of singers are happy to perform solo or for an audience of one, those who wish to perform publicly (whether professionally or recreationally) benefit from learning how to explore their unique artistic voice and connect with their audience. Conveying emotion, vocal storytelling, body language and developing a stage presence are all crucial for optimal delivery and audience experience. Best of all, learning how to be comfortable and compelling in front of a crowd can help even the shyest of individuals thrive personally and professionally!
