Voice Lessons

Voice lessons at Preucil are offered to students age 5 and above at the beginner to advanced level. Half-hour weekly lessons concentrate on the basic principles to develop the voice as a musical instrument.

The voice course of study includes posture and breath, vocalizing with the use of the scale to develop the range of the voice. Students study the international phonetic alphabet to help them appreciate the importance of words in English, Italian, German. French, and Spanish. They also learn about composers, poets and singers by studying works from classical, traditional, spiritual, art song, popular song, Broadway and movies.  With this vast literature, the student learns how to interpret and communicate through song.

Solo and group rehearsals with an accompanist allow voice students to practice their performance and communication skills in a class setting.  They are encouraged to participate in recital twice a year, building confidence in their ability to share their talent.
