Simple song writing in quantity. Write a Verse, write a Chorus, write some melodies, play the song; rinse and repeat. Another big focus is rewriting. Taking something you wrote weeks or months ago and changing little bits, adding more as you learn new techniques.

I was classically trained in a choral setting from a young age. From there, I migrated into Grunge, Punk, and Metal vocals, which has given me quite a large perspective on vocal tonality. The focus of these lessons will be pitch matching, as that is the number one most important thing any vocalist should practice on a day-to-day basis. Other important elements would include, range expansion, non-major/minor melody building, and finding new harmonies in melodies.

In addition, of course, to the education of clients on technical aspects of playing and the understanding of sheet music, I would like to focus on personal tonality. I think that everyone should have an equal opportunity to find their play style and preferred tone as they improve. I believe that this is imperative to finding your own perfect sound, especially down the road. As such, I believe the technical and artistic aspects of playing the instrument should share an equal focus during education.
