ONE ON ONE WITH GINA
classically trained,
empathetically minded
Being a multifaceted performer and human, Gina has extensive first-hand experience in building the voice, adapting to it's changes, and maintaining it's health. She understands that voice lessons must be as unique as the student and that everyone comes into the room with their own ranging abilities and goals. The student may not even be aware what their strengths are yet, but come as you are and we will uncover a few in just the first lesson.
One of Gina's strengths is creating a curriculum just for you, building onto the student's natural abilities in ways that are uniquely accessible. For example, some students may come in very nervous to sing, but we discover that they often write and journal in their free time. There is no one-size-fits-all method, but many times songwriting can become the vehicle to get that student closer to their singing goal.
Another example is that someone may come in for classical voice lessons, but we discover that they've always had a dream to sing more popular music with a band. Just like life suggests new paths for us, together we can choose to shift our direction temporarily or reassess our goal entirely.
In the past, lessons range from:
- full mentorship for those who would are highly considering a career in the arts
- creative play space for those looking for fun outside of their desk job
- absolute beginners who have always loved music but never explored it
- tune ups for professional musicians
- and more
Instruction is based on bodily awareness, where through music we build a deeper understanding of our needs and how to articulate them. Singers have instruments in the throat and unless you went to a doctor to get a scope, we cannot see the instrument. This is why it can be so challenging to understand how to harness the voice. Good news -- the body is always sending signals as to what it likes and what is healthy for it, so through anatomy, your own awareness, and supervised instruction, you will achieve your goal.
Gina offers virtual and in-person lessons.
