Voice Lesson Philosophy and Format

Philosophy

My approach is to help students be ‘themselves’, singing and playing with healthy technique & working with materials that they really love, I am a professional jazz singer. But I also am a ‘classical’ choir director, voice/piano teacher, comfortable with many styles. Student outcome will be having an easier time singing and playing piano than before, and moving towards potential as an artist. You are welcome to visit my websites: davidpostnow.com and davidpostjazz.com.

Students need to bring/practicing

copies of the written music and access to a sound recording of songs we are working on (I’ll make initial copies of music required, but if you bring something new in, that’s great)
a pencil
a recording device (a phone will do just fine)
a hydrated body
it is recommended to do a vocal warm up and practice the materials daily, even 15 mins

Here is the general outline of a voice lesson

00:00 checking in and doing a vocal warm up
00:12 working/relaxing on specific exercises to improve vocal technique/vocal health
00:17 working on literature
00:25 recording piano accompaniment as needed
00:30 recapitulation of what was gained at today’s lesson and going over what can be practiced before the next lesson
00:35 lesson finishes

Cost of lessons

Lessons are 35 minutes long. I may choose to extend the lesson a bit if there is no student coming in directly after
Payment for two or more lessons in advance is appreciated but not required
Cost is $45 for one 35-minute lesson, paid online here PayPal, or via Venmo @David-Post-54, or for in person, cash or check, made out to: David Post.
Paying for four lessons in advance lowers the cost of each lesson by $5.

I look forward to being your music teacher!

Sincerely,

David Post
