My name is Miranda, and I am honored that you would consider me to teach yourself or your child private voice lessons.
I have been actively involved in music since my early childhood, singing and performing for seventeen years and teaching for eleven of those years.
Along with being involved in various choirs and musical groups from elementary on into my high school career, I've also had many wonderful opportunities to perform as a soloist through church and other community events and organizations.
I began writing music at age fourteen, and I still continue to write and perform to this day.
My husband and I are contemporary Christian musicians; performing at various churches, festivals, camps and assistive living facilities as the duo "In Him".
Over the years, I have had the great privilege of teaching students from age 7 to adult ranging in skill from beginner to advanced. One student has traveled internationally, while others have shared their gifts through community choirs, tallent shows and their local place of worship.Along with teaching out of my home, I have also taught private voice instructions to homeschool students through the Kalamazoo Area Tutor Center.

Overall Benefits of Private Voice Lessons

There are several benefits of private voice lessons. First, voice lessons foster dedication and commitment. With one-on-one instruction, lessons can be tailored to each student's specific learning needs.
Skills in concentration, listening, self expression, communication, performance and building self-esteem may also be obtained.
Singing has been known to help people relax, and it is a gift that each student can share with anyone. Some studies have shown that students who take private music lessons also do well in other subjects such as reading and math. With goals ranging from taking up a new hobby, to pursuing music as a career, in higher education or in service to others; students may want to take lessons for many reasons.

Teaching Method and Philosophy

Although I do not require my students or their families to be of the Christian faith, I teach from a faith-based prospective. I also do not teach my students written sheet music at this time, but I teach basic music theory, ear training, music history and appreciation. Skills in music composition may be taught to more advanced students wishing to explore such creative ventures. I teach my students that there is a deeper meaning to music than just words on a page. Behind the words there lies a deeper message, and although we must use our voices correctly; we also must sing from our hearts. My students and I work together to select 2-3 pieces at a time that are appropriate for their age and skill level. It is understood that each student will work on one or two Folk, Broadway or classical pieces; along with a more contemporary piece of their preferred genre. I also encourage students to bring audition pieces or music used in other vocal music settings. I do not teach opera, rock, or rap/hip-hop. At this time, I am not able to teach songs in a language other than English unless the student knows the lyrics and wishes to improve the skills used to sing the piece.
My students aren't the only learners in the studio. I love learning right alongside and even from my students. Therefore, my teaching style evolves with each new experience, and I enjoy sharing new techniques and music as I myself make new discoveries.
