If the student is new to Sapphire Music Studio, some time will be spent in warmups or exercises so that the instructor can hear the student's voice outside of musical context. Adult learners do not need to have anything prepared, unless talked about in previous lessons.
The following topics are often covered in these lessons:
Overall understanding of vocal function
Breathing & breath control
Release of unnecessary tension
Problem-solving

30-minute trial lesson
30-minute trial lesson
Recommended for:
Brand-new learners curious to see if voice lessons are right for them
More experienced singers wanting to try a lesson before they commit
What to expect: This 30-minute trial lesson will broken into three sections: 10 minutes of introduction, with the student outlining what they are looking for in lessons and what experience they have; 10 minutes of warmups and exercises to help the instructor hear what their voice can do; and 10 minutes working on a sample song.
Due to the brevity of trial lessons, there is not often time to dive into specific vocal topics. The purpose is, rather, for the instructor to get to know the student and their voice, and for the student to have an idea of what a lesson will be like before they commit to them every week.
$25 (one trial lesson per student).
