Introduction

RESULTS. I can save you time and money with a technique that is so effective you will see results in minutes, rather than weeks or months. We will not spend multiple lessons just learning how to breath, or running through silly exercises that don't help. At each lesson, a workout program will be customized for the needs of your voice to keep it progressing steadily. Through clear instruction and guidance, students gain control and an understanding of their instrument which lays the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, effective singing! I love working with voices and being a part of their development. I don't care how good or bad a singer is when they come to me. I get excited when I hear the progress we make at each lesson and as the voice develops over time. Ask me for a 1/2 price trial lesson! I currently offer both in-person (Solana Beach, California) and online lessons.

I had been afraid to sing in public all my life. The only singing I had done before I met Virginia was in the shower. Virginia liberated my voice in the very first lesson. She created a safe space for me to explore my range and tonality. Virginia showed me how to feel my voice in my body and intentionally use it. I’ve learned to appreciate my voice as a true instrument. My range increased in just a few lessons. I have more confidence to belt out songs that I never thought I’d be able to sing. Virginia is easy to work with and will bring out the best in you!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Clients can pay per lesson, monthly, or purchase a 2, 4, or 8 lesson package. There is a discount for monthly and package purchases. Please refer to my web page for current prices, packages and specials.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
At the first lesson I will take the student through a diagnostic scale to assess their voice and determine what it's strengths are and where they need to improve. Based on that assessment, I develop a workout program for them, then we work on a song and learn how to apply their improved coordination to singing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a certified Speech Level Singing (SLS) Instructor, I am required to fulfill educational requirements yearly. These include private lessons with Mr. Riggs, teaching in front Mr. Riggs and other SLS teachers, watching Mr. Riggs work with one of my students, and attending the yearly SLS Training Camps.
