Voice Lessons: New customers receive a 30 minute lesson, FREE! Within the very first lesson, student(s) are introduced to how the anatomy of the voice/vocal chords work, the importance of proper breath support, placement of voice and much more. Each new student receives a vocal evaluation on their very first lesson, which includes range, accuracy of pitch, breath support and control, placement of voice, as well as vocal health. Ms. Lisa will share the student's strengths, weaknesses and what she will do to help improve their vocal capabilities. The lesson typically culminates with a musical selection of their choice.

Within the first lesson, student(s) will be introduced to a myriad of relaxation and acting exercises/techniques that will be covered in the course of study.
