Singing is a full body experience. Unlike all other musicians, our musical instrument is part of our own body. It is only when our muscles are relaxed and warmed up that our voice can be really free to reach its full potential.

Without breathing we cannot sing and without breathing properly, we cannot sing properly. During our lessons, particularly at the beginning of our journey together, we will work on establishing good breathing habits and developing breath management skills, observing and understanding how the way we breath can affect our voice.

A good vocal warm up should always make up 10-20 minutes of a singing lesson or a singing practice session. Our vocal tract is full of small muscles, the warmer and more hydrated they are, the better we will be able to sing.

In my lessons I like to have a clear distinction between technical exercises and vocal warm ups. While a vocal warm up should be relatively easy and based on scales and sounds that don't challenge your voice too much, a new technical exercise should always be challenging as it has the goal to help you improve your vocal habits and develop your vocal technique further.

Finally my favourite part of the lesson. Depending on what your goal is, you will be able to work on your performance technique, prepare for exams and auditions or just simply have fun singing your favourite songs.
