FAITH PENCE VOCAL ARTS
Teaching Philosophy
It is one of my greatest joys to help unlock the unique abilities of your voice as we work towards achieving your personal goals in singing! I strive for my teaching to be personalized to each one of my students, meeting their needs, learning styles, and personal goals. Sharing one’s voice can be very vulnerable, therefore our lessons are a safe place for you to make mistakes as well as some unpleasant sounds from time to time—which ultimately will help you discover your voice and grow! Good vocal technique is essential for vocal health and achieving one’s highest vocal ability. Therefore, much of our lessons will be dedicated to building the same strong vocal technique that has been used by several of the best singers who have had long and successful careers. The foundation of this technique will be learned by singing vocalises, and singing songs meant to build upon that technique which can be tastefully implemented into several styles of singing (pop, country, choir, worship, jazz, musical theater etc.) so you can reach your personal goals as a singer with vocal control and healthy habits. In addition to vocal technique, our lessons will focus greatly on musicality and musical expression so that you will have the full package! With development of these skills, I hope to build in my students a greater love for music and confidence in their own singing.
