Age 10-Adult
NEW! Weekly voice lessons for youth and adults of all levels and interests. You will be scheduled for a series of weekly lessons on Mondays. Lesson times are between 4:30 and 8 pm. Your lesson time will be confirmed with the instructor. $40/30 minute lesson. Payment is due in advance of services. Contact Community Education to discuss availability. 952-707-4150.
In lessons, students go through a thorough vocal warm up, breath exercises, and dive into a song of their choice. Students will receive feedback on what has improved, and will practice the tricky parts so they can continue to improve on their own between lessons.
Students provide their own songs or music of choice. All musical pieces and techniques taught will be age-appropriate to preserve vocal health and prevent vocal injury. For this reason, the minimum age is 10 years old.
Instructor Virinia Nelson says: Singing is a gift of self-expression, self-awareness, exploration, and fun! I have been studying music for more than 20 years with thirteen years of formal classical voice training in opera, lieder, and musical theater. As a teacher, I strive to help students connect with their breath, approach music with curiosity, and build a foundation of vocal technique to prevent injury so we can all be singing well into our eighties! Beyond skills of expression, music reading, diction (in various languages), resonance, and pitch, I want students to walk away with greater grace for themselves, greater joy in challenges, and greater gratitude for our personal instruments.
