Welcome to Essential Skills for Singers Foundation
Instructor: Juliette Russell
Hello and welcome!
This course is designed to be modular, allowing you to progress at your own pace. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
-
Course Structure:
- The lessons are broken down into small, five-minute videos.
- You can take your time with each section.
-
Vocal Health:
- Your vocal health is our priority.
- Remember, singing should never hurt.
- Always work within your comfort zone, whether you sing low or high.
-
Incremental Learning:
- This course builds incrementally.
- You can progress through the levels at your own speed, moving from:
- 1 to 2
- 1, 2, 3
- 1, 2, 3, 4
-
Applying Techniques:
- After building a few techniques, we will apply them to repertoire.
- You will have the opportunity to submit your songs for individualized feedback.
-
Keeping a Journal:
- I highly recommend keeping a journal throughout the course.
- Note what you find easier and what is improving.
- A journal serves as a valuable tool to track your progress.
Sometimes, it may feel like you are not improving, but a journal can demonstrate that you are moving forward.
I really hope you enjoy this course.
