SPECIALTIES & COACHING
Welcome to our Specialties on the many Coaching and Professional services we offer.
The images feature just a few of the students we have instructed in the past
In person or on Zoom.
Instrument coaching:
Learn how to play quickly, and understand what you're doing as you go along. We use your favorite songs, or your own compositions. Application is everything, and I focus on how to practice effectively. While guitar and piano are favorites, I coach most stringed instruments. Cross-training between instruments is my specialty.
Learn techniques to preserve your voice.
Vocal Coaching
Learn techniques to preserve your voice. Breath support, range extension, enunciation, pitch, and maintaining the character of your voice throughout your range are covered in ways that are easy to understand.
Learn how to connect with your audience.
Performance Coaching:
Learn how to connect with your audience. We will focus on what it takes to evolve from a performer into an entertainer.
Learn to control the trajectory of your career.
Career Counseling:
Learning how to control the trajectory of your career can be confusing. I can help you establish and plan realistic goals that will move you in the right direction. Just because you are a fantastic entertainer doesn't mean that people will come knocking at your door - it takes planning and persistence.
Explore various angles of the art of songwriting.
Songwriting and Theory:
Explore various angles of the art of songwriting. Learn how to generate new ideas quickly and easily, and shape them into a final product.
Music theory is really just a language. In the same way that you tend not to think of the mechanics of English, the same is our goal for theory. Feel fluent - and confident. I specialize in helping people become indispensable in writing sessions.
Be prepared going into the studio.
Studio Prep and Mix Review:
Being prepared before going into the studio is essential for producing an end product that you feel represents you. Everything from studio choice, to key, to song choice, tempo, and how to communicate well with both your engineer and producer are covered in depth.
