How lessons are run…
LESSON STRUCTURE
As participants in our vocal training program, students are empowered to curate an dynamic musical repertoire, seamlessly merging their own selections with universally acknowledged standards pivotal for any aspiring vocalist. In addition, our curriculum delves deep into the art of voice mastery, focusing on nuanced techniques that enable students to unlock and broaden their vocal range to its full potential.
To elevate this immersive learning journey, we integrate a variety of interactive, skill-enhancing games into our lesson plans. These creatively designed activities serve a dual purpose: they make the educational process incredibly engaging while fortifying essential vocal fundamentals. Our pedagogical methodology is a blend of clarity and ambition; we offer precise instructional guidance, lay out realistic yet stimulating practice milestones, and utilise a merit-based point system to acknowledge and incentivise the continued dedication and achievements of our younger students.
Curriculum
Our teaching framework is the result of years of dedicated pedagogical research and hands-on experience. Tailored to meet the needs of each aspiring vocalist, our proprietary curriculum encompasses a robust spectrum of foundational elements, including but not limited to breath control, nuanced vocal techniques, and range expansion. This curated educational journey offers a thorough, in-depth exploration into the mechanics and artistry of vocal performance.
For seamless integration into our program, we offer all requisite vocal textbooks, conveniently available for purchase at our reception area. When you come in for your first lesson, we'll present you with a handy booklet to take home. Think of it as your go-to guide for practicing and learning more about what we cover in class. Just bring it back with you for each lesson, and we'll build on what you've learned.
HOME PRACTICE
We give you a practice journal to jot down what you're working on—it's a great way for parents to stay in the loop and for kids to see their own progress. Plus, it makes practicing a lot less of a chore.
Look, you don't have to practice if you don't want to, but giving it some time between lessons will really help you get better faster and make the most of our time together in class.
Want to get the lowdown on why practicing is a big deal and how we help you get better at it? Just ask. We've got some pretty straightforward ways to make practice less of a hassle and more of a win, check this article!
Voice Apps
Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we offer a curated suite of applications designed to augment the learning experience. These specialized apps serve as invaluable tools for vocal warm-ups, pitch enhancement, and focused practice sessions. To maximise the efficacy of your at-home rehearsal, consult your instructor for personalised app recommendations tailored to your unique learning needs and objectives.
REWARD POINTS for kids
Young learners have the opportunity to accrue "FretPoints," our specialised form of educational currency designed to inspire and maintain engagement. These coveted points are strategically awarded for a multitude of accomplishments, serving as tangible markers of progress. They are earned through successful song completion, attainment of designated practice milestones, fulfilment of personalised learning objectives, and triumphs in in-class skill-building games. Furthermore, participation in concerts and the completion of entire instructional volumes are also rewarded, magnifying the sense of achievement. As an additional bonus, students can accumulate FretPoints by referring new enrolees to our program, creating a vibrant, motivated community of musical enthusiasts. This gamified approach not only makes the learning process irresistibly fun but also drives students toward achieving academic and artistic excellence. Click for more info...
