Fearless Freedom Expression Training :: New Philosophy
Are you nervous when expressing yourself? Is it fun or to a degree, frightening? Do you go out of your way, to avoid expression in public? If so, you are going to love this popular training element. Many of us have been taught in school to "focus on what is wrong to get it right", which is great if we're alone by ourselves planning something, however, can be very bad when presenting ourselves to others. Many of us have developed the habit of frightening ourselves in public. This is merely a bad habit. Bad habits can be changed with good habits. Come and discover how to experience freedom from the "inner critic" and express yourself like never before.

Building A Song - Production Architecture

To truly develop consistent success, we must apply your unique style to a song. This experience will show you how take a song, break it down, and make it your own. By applying phonetic conversion, vowel emphasis opportunities, relaxed phrasing moments, grace-note opportunities, application of vocal dynamics, pitch and vowel preshaping and more, you'll discover the diamond opportunities waiting for you . It's fun and easy, once you know how. Remove the weaknesses and focus on the strengths. Ooh baby! The song will begin to sound amazing after this process.

We provide the highest quality backing tracks during your session to provide musical accompaniment that will take your breath away. What a fun way to apply all the tools your learning here.

Computer Visual Ear Training :: Pitch Development
Difficulty locating pitch? Locating pitch is often difficult. We use high-tech software to make your learning easy. In this display, the sung pitch is displayed as a continuously moving line on an expanded representation of the piano keyboard. This allows you to see how your pitch changes from note to note - and reveals any lack of control or support over those notes. We offer coach guided, visualization training to assist you getting on pitch quickly, easily, and it's fun too.

Vocal Spectrogram Analysis :: Vowel & Tone Mastery
We also use computer generated analysis offering incredibly detailed analysis of vowel usage and tone consistency. Our computer shows harmonics of the sound wave in a color spectrogram. We are looking at good clear vowels being spoken. The brightness of each harmonic represents its strengthening this device we can see the tonal balance of your singing, and how that changes with different vowels and across your range. This display shows the harmonic spectrum of the sound as it is sung. This display shows you the tonal balance of your voice as you sing. You get an immediate visual response to changes in how you are singing or speaking. A great tool used to assist in changing vocal qualities.

My First Song :: Accompaniment Training
What if you could play simple chords to your favorite song without previous training or learning to read music? Would you enjoy that? What if you could play a song for your sweetheart? We will show you how. It can change a life. We can train you to sing a favorite song beautifully and accompany yourself by guitar or ukulele. Would that be fun?
