VOICE LESSONS
Your lessons will be
Personalized
Your initial lessons will be dedicated to assessing your current vocal needs and creating a personalized plan to fit your unique needs and goals.
Targeted
Everyone has pain points when it comes to achieving vocal and artistic freedom. I’ll work closely with you to help identify and overcome your vocal hurdles.
Integrative
Since achieving vocal and artistic freedom is more than just technique and repertoire, I’ll be guiding you toward other helpful practices such as mindfulness training, body awareness exercises, and more.
Benefits of voice lessons
Voice lessons can provide many wonderful benefits aside from improving your voice and vocal technique.
Singing lowers stress levels, relieves anxiety, and elevates endorphins.
Singing helps to increase the use of expressive language, improved cardiovascular function, and improved emotional regulation.
Vocal training can help improve verbal communication skills more than actual phonetics.
Voice lessons can help improve your memory, intellectual skills, and coordination.
FAQs
What happens at the first lesson?
Blayne makes it a priority to get to know you first on a personal level and become familiar with your vocal needs and goals so that he can provide individualized lessons to you each week. Not every voice is the same and should not be treated as such. A young singer having their first voice lesson will have different needs than an older or professional singer.
If you register for voice lessons, Blayne will work with you to create an individualized plan that will fit your vocal needs and musical preferences. At your first voice lesson, Blayne will ask about your background, listen to you sing, and offer suggestions on how to improve. Upon leaving your first lesson with Blayne, you will have started learning the basics of developing a solid vocal technique and be on your way to becoming a better singer.
Do you offer online lessons?
Yes! I am happy to offer online voice lessons to those individuals who are not local to Knoxville, TN. Online voice lessons are just as effective as in-person voice lessons and you can have them on the go! This option is perfect for professional singers and actors who must travel to perform. You will get the same individualized attention and benefits as someone who is taking in-studio lessons while learning from a distance.
I teach online voice lessons via either Zoom or FaceTime. If neither of these is available to you, I can also teach via Skype. It is important that the student have access to a laptop/computer, smartphone, or tablet. In general, online voice lessons work best when the student has access to a laptop/computer. The student will also need to have secure internet access and the capability to play backing tracks from their end.
Whether you sing opera, musical theatre, or commercial music, you can and will benefit from online voice lessons. If you are interested in getting started with online voice lessons, please register via the button below!
