Vocal Lessons!

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

For all Middle and High School Aged Students Interested in Vocal Training This Summer!

Thursday and Friday afternoons

30 minute lessons   (which can be held: once per week, every other week or a set number of meeting times during June, July and August.)

What to expect: You will be asked to practice daily. As with anything, the more time you put in, the more you will get out of it. Your voice is an instrument that is physical and needs to warm up and get into shape, just like an athlete. You will learn to care for it and how to control it so it will do what you want it to do. You will learn to breathe properly, improve your vocal range, and grow in your confidence. Emily Belliveau was my first student last summer. She was diligent with her practicing at home and made improvements in breathing, tone and pitch. If you have questions, you can ask her.

Instructor: Sharon Bettis

My Background: I took piano lessons and sang solos in my church growing up. In college, I took voice lessons and hooked up with my roommate who became a singer, songwriter. I was her female backup singer for several years while I also taught elementary school, Sunday school and continued to sing in church, weddings and with friends. When I started homeschooling, it was not long before I was known as the music mom and taught every unit study topic related to music. (Mrs. Shorey, do you remember our kids playing the penny whistle during our Revolutionary War unit?) Soon, Mrs. Shorey started Good Company Tutorials and asked me to teach a music class for any kids who were willing to sing. That was eight years ago. I have since had the privilege of directing choirs these 8 years and have watched many of you mature as vocalists. I have enjoyed the idea of having a small part in the process of helping some of you out of your shells, and I am usually quite impressed with what you kids can accomplish.

Lesson Fee: $15 per half hour lesson.
