Philosophy     

Charlotte provides students a practical approach to improve singing regardless of age, experience or music education. In addition to vocal lessons, she provides instruction on composition and songwriting to interested students. It is the repetitive vocal breath training and exercises which play the most important role in building good vocal technique and developing the voice. The training is gradually transferred into songs and/or songwriting. In the beginning weeks and months, short bursts of practice are recommended. Those singers organized and disciplined to rehearse will have the greatest success. They will have musical self confidence for singing in choirs, as soloists, community theater programs, chamber ensembles, in clubs/theaters, in the recording studio, on television taped/live, and any other audience imaginable. They will gain deeper appreciation for singing in general and develop an overall better speaking/stage presence. They will also gain self confidence in front of groups of people and audiences which can be carried over into any kind of profession from education to the corporate world.
