Build a musical foundation
academic development
technique
Good technique is crucial to performing freely and accessing a full range of tone and dynamics. It also helps to reduce tension and prevent physically injury, allowing for a lifetime of performance and enjoyment.
repertoire
Everyone wants to have a repertoire of pieces they can perform for family, auditions, or for their own satisfaction! At The Voice Studio, students study a variety of styles and genres to suit their goals.
aural/reading skills
Improving the ability to read, recognize, and differentiate between various pitches, intervals, chords, and rhythms increases your understanding of music and helps you learn pieces more quickly.
examinations
Preparing for an exam provides excellent motivation for mastering technique and repertoire, and is a great way to receive valuable feedback and assessment of your skills.
piano
Learning to play the piano and having an understanding of the keyboard can be incredible assets to the singer. At The Voice Studio, piano studies are an important part of each lesson and help students to develop skills in self-accompaniment, music reading, and song writing.
theory
All students study theory in their practical lessons as part of a complete musical education and to aid in music literacy. Understanding the theory behind the music helps students make sense of it all and reinforces note reading and ear training fundaments.
Explore your creative side
creative development
recording
Not only is recording incredibly fun, it also requires consideration of who you are as an artist. Recording the repertoire you've learned throughout the year provides a wonderful memory and benchmark of your learning thus far; and listening back to your recordings is one of the best learning tools available!
music writing
Writing a piece of music is a terrific way to apply your musical knowledge and get your creative juices flowing. Many students at the studio have even received provincial and national scholarships for their compositions! With music writing, the sky's the limit!
artistry
Being able to perform your music expressively is truly the pinnacle of the musical experience. What story are you trying to tell? What emotions is your character experiencing? Learn how to paint a picture for your listener and take them on the journey with you.
