Our mission is to empower each student to find,strengthen, and express their unique voice utilizing our Vocal Performance Lesson technique.

Music and the artistic disciplines enable self-knowledge and self-expression through the understanding of and participation in universal human emotion and thought. 

If you are a prospective student, interested in lessons, you are at the right place. Learning to sing is about finding your own voice and being able to express yourself fully through your music. At the Latimerlo Studio, a strong and thorough foundation of proper physicial technique is combined with interpretation of text and music to lead students to effectively and powerfully communicate through song.

Vocal Performance Lessons

The Latimerlo Studio offers vocal and musical interpretation instruction. Lessons are one hour in length and are offered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Students learn proper vocal technique (based on bel canto theory and a "singing as an extention of proper speech" approach) - which includes lessons in posture, breathing, focus, resonance, and diaphragmatic support. Students also learn song interpretation, including the creation of characters and the use of acting techniques for musical theatre students, as well as instruction in musical analysis and musical interpretation. Students may also work on full audition preparation if desired. We specialize in adolescent and collegiate students. We also love teaching pop students -- combining modern technique to our classical basis.

Students additionally learn some of the fundamentals of music theory, such as reading important symbols on sheet music. Students may also take periodic acting lessons to prepare for a show or audition. Students are given the chance to perform and attend our studio's Master Classes. These teaching-focused recitals are offered twice per year along with a number of other performance opportunities. In addition, students receive two written evaluations yearly.
