Introduction: "Not every performer can instruct. Not every instructor can perform. For 25 years, Natalie Eastman has enthusiastically and clearly taught people to sing and helped singers to sing better while singing professionally or avocationally. Her client list includes a Miss Connecticut, a Miss America contestant, and many gigging professional artists, as well as singers who offer their voices in local choirs, bands, bars, weddings, music theater and other extraordinary performances." Q & A with Natalie Eastman: HOW DO I KNOW IF VOICE LESSONS ARE RIGHT FOR ME? It is important for you to CONSIDER YOUR GOALS for taking singing lessons. What do you want to do with your voice? From that point, we discuss how you would train and how we might work together to achieve your vision and subsequent goals. [Admin note: For a helpful free resource, visit our website's home page for Dr. Eastman's FREE 3-Day Vocal Foundations Course!] WHAT I OFFER: As a singer, vocal instructor & coach, and owner of A Higher Note LLC music studio, I help people who value & enjoy singing get their best singing voice by (1) developing excellent practice habits (2) understanding their vocal instrument (3) removing obstacles impeding their progress (4) growing their performance confidence and overall musicality. WHO: I work with all ages, including beginners wanting to start singing, to advanced singers already performing professionally, & every level and objective in between. HOW? I offer the following opportunities for training: (1.) Private Singing Lessons & Vocal Coaching (Currently Online during Covid/Delta): I teach private singing lessons on an annual ("flat-tuition" agreement) or monthly (short-term/"standalone" lessons) basis. See "HOW," below, to learn what we cover. For working singers or singers with upcoming auditions, I coach soloists, duos, and small groups on specific issues to identify performance challenges, learn or tighten harmonies, and optimize your sound. [Admin note: there is an additional 15% fee per student when more than one student/client shares a time slot.] Depending on your goals, you might be interested in one of the two online instruction and live-group-coaching programs I offer. Read more below and/or see our Private Lesson Information page on our website. (2.) Voice180: The Six-Month Voice Transformation. For advanced-beginner to advanced singers. You can seriously upgrade your singing voice in six short months. How much you improve is up to you. V180 is a very focused approach. In this program, which I developed from my 25+ years of teaching, research, and performance experience, I help motivated singers transform & upgrade their voice as much as possible in six months. Through self-directed online modules combined with semi-monthly group coaching calls, gradually-increased performance opportunities, along with included and extra optional private Laser Coaching Sessions, singers work in a methodical way to transform their voice into one that's powerful, controlled, dependable, expressive, & uniquely their own. Through benchmarking performance requirements, V180 also helps singers gain the confidence they need to sing publicly with deeper expression, increased comfort, and greater professionalism. While either hobby-singers or professionals or anyone in-between can join Voice180, because of the intensity and focus of this program, all potential students are required to submit an application and have a conversation with Natalie Eastman to make sure you qualify and that the program's strengths align with your goals. Read more on the Voice180 Program Information page on our website. (3.) The Keep Singing Program, an online instruction and coaching community for singers with the life goal of singing until their parting breath. Through self-paced instruction modules, monthly group coaching calls, AND by working together, supportively, utilizing the program's online platform and a Facebook group. Singers work individually and collectively, singing, playing, collaborating together to Keep Singing with power, control, agility, expression, and joy no matter what challenges life may bring! Read more on the Keep Singing! Program Information page on our website. WHEN: I offer lessons and coaching sessions Monday evenings 6-9 PM, and Weekdays, 9 AM - 3 PM, Eastern Time. I teach and coach students both locally and globally online. If that timeframe works for you, connect with me and let’s discuss getting started. Lessons occur weekly, except for holidays and published studio closures. LOOKING FOR A DISCOUNT? When you are ready to commit to your growth and vocal progress, our annual Flat-Tuition Agreement will provide you with a lovely discount off of Natalie's basic hourly fee. In addition, when you go for the long view by committing to a year of lessons, you receive the following added value: 1. That lovely discount off the hourly fee. 2. Bonus resources from time to time that Natalie typically reserves for her exclusive program clients. She uses these with her students that commit to their long-term growth. 3. 40 weekly lessons each 12-month year, with published holidays & studio closure dates. 4. The ability to start at the beginning of any month September through June. 5. Online lessons held on the amazing VoiceLessons.com utilizing their closed-loop technology that makes taking lessons online as close to taking lessons in person, with the added benefit of every lesson being recorded and immediately accessible to the student. This service is provided to you at no additional charge - it's covered by our studio! 6. A practice app by which you can view all of your recorded lessons AND all of the exercises Natalie gives you. You can (and should) practice them on-demand any time in-between lessons and during studio closure dates. 7. After one year of private lessons, AHN students are eligible for a 25% discount on one of AHN's group online coaching programs! ADDED BONUS FOR UP-FRONT ANNUAL PAYMENT: If you decide to pay for the entire year of lessons up front, Natalie will gift you with TWO BONUS LESSONS of the same length as your typical lessons. You will self-schedule these at your leisure using Natalie's Calendly scheduling links. SUMMARY: Laughter, enthusiasm, relaxed enjoyment, goals, progress, and striving for personal excellence – this is how Natalie approaches her work as a vocal musician, as well as how she teaches. "I hope and believe these attributes are infectious and influence my students in positive ways to embrace and enhance their own skills and enjoyment of music!" _Dr. Natalie Eastman Don't hesitate to develop your voice. You'll be so glad you took the step to further your vocal training, tighten up your performance skills, or start music lessons for the first time!

"One month into lessons for our daughter, we are definitely satisfied." I wrote that almost a year ago after our daughter requested voice lessons for her birthday. 11 months later, we are thrilled with her growth as a singer. In the past year, we have seen remarkable growth in her ability, her confidence and, most importantly, her love of music. At 16, she may change her mind a dozen times, but she's now considering a career in vocal music. A few months ago, she performed at the Ohio Music Educator Association's Solo and Ensemble Competition. Her performance earned a Superior rating of 1 - the best grade possible. While Natalie did help her prepare for this specific contest, we are more impressed with the skills and exercises that will help her be a better singer for the rest of her life. More recently, our daughter performed a solo at a school function. We're a bit biased, but we think she nailed it. Afterward, other parents asked us where she takes voice lessons, and we were happy to recommend Natalie. The best endorsement that we can give Natalie is that we now have 2 children taking voice lessons with her. Our middle child has been so impressed by the growth of her older sister, that she asked to take voice lessons also and definitely wanted to work with Natalie. A month in with child number 2, and we're still satisfied!

Natalie was very knowledgeable, and an excellent teacher! She individualized the lessons and was quickly able to help me fix issues with my posture and technique. I learned a ton, and it was really enjoyable!
