Specifically, I would like to study solo vocal performance with an instructor on a weekly basis. I would also like to purchase songbooks to help me get started with operatic singing. I will commit, gladly, to daily practice and vocalization in pursuit of my goals. Mentor or Instructor of lessons, camp, class, or workshop will evaluate the student artist and report back to R2AC.
Many of my goals have been reached while taking lessons with Meghan Stringer. I have become a more technical singer and have broadened my knowledge of different singing genres. This experience has been amazing and I cannot wait to continue learning about different musical styles and eras. So far, I have learned about the vocal mechanism, musical eras, the history of assigned pieces of music, and how to sing in a more technical fashion. The technicality of singing is something that I didn't much pay attention to before I began these lessons. But now, I am much more attentive about how my voice is used, and my vocal limits.
