Take your voice to the next level

• Do you love singing but feel you haven’t yet reached your potential?
• Would you like to be able to sing with more freedom?
• Would you like to sing for hours without losing your voice?

All of these goals are totally attainable, if you use the right method. Vocal students have many paths and methods to choose from. The struggle for most people is finding voice lessons in Rochester they can feel confident in.

There are typically three avenues people take when learning to sing. All of these avenues have their own difficulties and challenges.

YouTube:

YouTube is the first step for most people. It’s free and you can get some quick tips, but the YouTube strategy has many flaws.

I’m not going to say that all the information on YouTube is wrong or incorrect. I will; however, point out that you are at the mercy of any person with a webcam. You definitely need to consider the source when searching through YouTube videos.

You can find a ton of great information about voice lessons on YouTube. The problem lies in using different exercises from completely different sources. Each vocal method has a series of exercises geared towards its style of voice.

Many of these exercises, if taken from different sources, aren’t meant to be mixed together. Using a bunch of different exercises from a bunch of different people on youtube won’t present concepts in the right way or in the right order. You will quickly get stuck because you’re not on any specific path.

Using YouTube as your only source for learning only works if you’re already an advanced vocalist and you understand the fundamentals of the vocal instrument.

Other Local Rochester Vocal Coaches:

I’ve heard countless stories from past and current students about other Rochester voice lessons. Often times, training with local teachers for years without progress. They felt like they were just singing songs and paying to have someone play accompaniment.

In this situation, we have what’s called misaligned goals. There are certain singers like musical theatre singers, who need to have repertoire together for auditions. Having a teacher play accompaniment and working on repertoire is important for them.

This is not the case for most modern singers, be it pop, rock, blues etc. So, if you have felt disappointed with an old teacher, chances are your goals didn’t align. You need voice lessons in Rochester that focus on growing your voice, meeting your goals and not simply repertoire.

Another thing to look for in a Rochester vocal coach is that they can sing at the level you want to. You need to make sure the person coaching you can at least help you get the foundations down and understands how the voice works.

The voice is similar to the violin. You need to have the foundations down to sound good. Most people, even some vocal coaches, don’t have the foundations down. So you need to hear their voice.

Natural Talent Myth:

When people have exhausted the first two options they start accepting the natural talent myth. They start to believe they don’t have the ability to sing at a higher level.

It doesn’t need to be this way. You have the same parts in your body as anyone else and thus the same potential. You need the right method, the right vocal coach and you need time. Natural talent is a starting point, not an ending point.

Learning to sing takes time it’s not something that comes overnight. So, I’m not telling you to expect instant results. What I am telling you is that if you decide to take voice lessons in Rochester with me, you will reach your goals.

It may take a year, two or three, it all depends on what you put into it, but I am 100% confident in my ability to help you reach your goals.

I’ve trained with many vocal coaches over the years. Some bad, some good and some great. I’ve trained in countless methods and have found what works through a lot of trial and error. I want to prevent you from having to go through what I did, a trial and error process, so you can accomplish your goals faster than I did. Let me help you reach your potential and take your voice to the next level.
