Vocal Lessons Intro from Hilary

Everyone has a beautiful voice!

Our voices are unique to us like a DNA in sound. Only conditioning gets in the way of allowing you to express your full potential in singing. I teach singing from the heart. It isn't complex, but many choose to make it so. I teach in a fun light hearted way that also carries the depth of the true sound of your voice. YOU CAN SING ALREADY, now you need help to make it performance level.

I have developed this course from my experience of professional performing and teaching voice healing. I will go through with you,  a warm up and cool down routine, breath & power support, resonance, rhythm, song interpretation with mood and emotion, fine tuning your pitch and extending vocal range, right up to performance tips!

The full course includes:- Basic starter tones; foundation tones & warm up exercises;Listening, Pitching - Scales & Intervals;Rhythm, Tempo, Timing, Phrasing, Diction & Breathing; Melody, Harmony & Backing Vocals, Vibrato; Song construction & keys for your voice; Voice Colour Techniques for Spoken Presentations and/or voice over work; Presenting & Performing a song - Tips & Techniques, style, developing power & confidence. I also cover vocal health advice.

Get the full richness of my teaching through the lessons here and on the audio course! You have a great way to mix and match and learn through the two courses I have here at Ashbury Music Hall. Make sure you look at the video below on how it works!

SKYPE LIVE CALL

We can also schedule a personal feedback or tutoring call live on Skype for up to 30 minutes. Here we can do on the spot corrections and discuss how you're doing, and where you need further focus!Your voice is unique to you, tell me what you want to learn and let's go!

To help you:-

I teach natural voice to start, so pitching at first is not necessary. However as you progress it would be good to have access to an instrument you can match notes with. Usually a keyboard/piano but any instrument will do - flute, guitar, organ, harp.

You will also need to learn rhythm and counting. I'm not a big fan of metronomes for singing, but if you have no idea of beat, then it can help you keep strict time. You can  use a drum machine or built in one in a keyboard.

Pdficon_small How I Coach Intuitively

How We Will Work Together- Practical Virtual Live Tutorial

The lesson will begin with you recording a video or audio of yourself, using the Ashbury Music Hall recording tools.  It is very simple.  Talk about what you want to learn, how you warm-up, and record a short demonstration of where you are with your singing/speaking at the moment.  I will post my response, get you started on your first practise sessions, and we will be on our way! 

Your virtual lesson web page is created just for you and is private so you don't have to be shy about other people hearing your practise and progress. I will be the only person who has access to your lessons and videos (and the Ashbury Music Hall webmasters).

One lesson is $60.  I will review up to 3 of your video posts per week (5 min. max on each video) and give you feedback on how you are doing.  I will answer your posted questions with appropriate media (text documents, video, audio, related links).  Each week I will give you a fresh practise session and when necessary, I will create special teaching videos just for you, related to your progress.  The lesson is customized for you and your learning pace.  You have access to all the content we create 24/7 allowing you to learn when YOU want!  When you are ready to move on purchase the next lesson.  Lessons are active for 2 weeks.

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to get started!

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

See you in the lesson!

Hilary is a lady with her heart on her sleeve. She trained as a musician and then went on to a professional singing career. She took a break whilst running her own business and in 1998 a major traumatic event, led her to start writing songs. She returned to music and performance singing after going into the world of complementary medicine. She trained in Natural Nutrition (Naturopathic) & Vibrational Medicine (Flower Essences, Energy Healing and Sound Healing mainly using the voice). She began performing and teaching again after realising that integrating voice healing and performance singing would assist a persons vocal and spiritual development powerfully. She has created an audio course True Voice Course and her videos support the audio course.She has an e-book Voice of the Universal Heart which gives insight into the true nature of the voice and singing. She is currently preparing a childrens audio course and launching a series of workshops.
