BOULDER VOICE LESSONS
World-Class Music Instruction in Boulder and Online
How Karaoke Saved My Life!
Everybody’s having a blast a karaoke... Except me.
These people were ripping out Whitney Houston, Adele, all the great Broadway tunes, and after they got done singing they were rewarded with high-fives, hugs and complimentary shots.
Not Me... just crickets.
I felt terrible, here you are all having a great time and all I got was the obligatory sideway glances and congratulatory pats on the back.
I was so embarrassed…
An acquaintance regaled this story to me after I mentioned that I was an opera singer, and had a voice lessons studio in the Boulder area.
Now, what can we do to learn from this infomation?
We don’t want to be embarrased or fail! We all wanna slay the dragon - be the hero, save the day, or just kick some serious tushy at karaoke!
I propose a few ways to move forward from here:
1. This might seem a bit obvious, but choose an appropriate song. Do some research; sing along to some karaoke tracks at home, and see if you can actually hit all the notes.
2. Take some voice lessons.
Voice teachers can help you learn how to sing better. Actually, these videos that I made will help you learn to sing better, and are totally free.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice – but practice with proper technique. If you don’t know proper technique, see #2.
These ideals can appeal to all types of performing – School plays, Community theatre, Auditions…

Life's Greatest Moments Involve Song!
Life‘s greatest moments involve song:
A singer will sing a beautiful song, like Schubert’s Ave Maria, at a funeral because there is nothing else to say.
There is singing at a wedding because the happiness, joy, and beauty is expressed in a way that words alone could never create.
A husband will sing to his wife on their wedding day.
A father that can sing to his daughter during their first dance at her wedding.
A high school senior that is slaying the audience with her amazing voice and stage presence.
These are all moments that are possible.
Most people are SO scared of singing that they never try. They are scared of rejection, of being made fun of, not singing in tune, and above all – thinking their voice is TERRIBLE!
Don’t be afraid of your voice – Embrace it. Build it!
I can show you how.

Vocal Nodules
Singing lessons that will protect your voice from vocal damage.
Have you ever heard of vocal nodules?
If you have ever suffered from vocal problems, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of vocal nodes, or nodules.
Just thinking about it makes me squirm in my chair, but what it is, is when you have been abusing your vocal cords, over-approximating, or rubbing your vocal cords together like your last two pennies for an extended time - this could lead to big nasty calluses on your vocal cords.
These vocal problems could present themselves with symptoms like:
Not being able to sing like you want to
Super breathy tone
Vocal paralysis
Even long-term laryngitis symptoms.
How do you fix it? Talk to a Doctor, but surgery might be needed.
Can you imagine that?
Even worse is when you have spent countless hundreds of thousands of dollars on your training… a Bachelors of music, a Masters of music, professional degrees, 30,000 hours of training, and then you’re sidelined for a while. The voice might come back, or it might not…
Not everybody gets nodules or polyps on your vocal chords, but why risk it?
Prevention is the best policy!
That’s why I am always teaching ways to support the voice, to protect it, and arm my students with voice training and voice BUILIDING!
And… You can get all my favorite tips and techniques by scheduling a singing lesson with me. Don’t worry, the first lesson is 50% OFF, so if you’re not happy for any reason, you can go on your merry way and find another teacher, but make sure you record the lesson, and work on the exercises.
