A look at the foundations of bringing the power of chest voice into higher ranges. A great place to start! This is the stuff I know I can count on to get me through a show, no matter how poorly I slept, how brutal the air conditioning in the van is, or how jetlagged and exhausted my voice is.

This lesson bundle contains anecdotes, vocal exercises, explanations, and demonstrations in written and video form. It also includes some disclaimers, advice, and backing tracks for four vocal exercises for your guided practice.

Frustrated from blindly stabbing in the dark with your "big orchestra" keyboard patch? Looking to create more emotive, effective orchestral arrangements for your musical endeavours, but don't quite know where to start?

In this lesson, you'll become more familiar with the sounds of each instrument's different expressions and ranges, so you can educate and refine your instincts when asking yourself, "Who gets the melody?" while orchestrating. We'll look deeper into how we experience and consume music as composers and as listeners, and how we can use that knowledge to our advantage when creating an emotional state change for our listeners.

This bundle contains a video, a written handout of sorts, a long exercise, some anecdotes, and some recommendations for further studies :) There will be a part II in the coming months!
