The studio’s individual lessons program focuses on students interested in competitive, serious pursuit of excellence on stage and in the concert hall.
Currently, the studio is limited to seven singers. Singers interested in an opening may be placed on a waitlist until an opening occurs.
Vocal Method
Drawing on classical Italian singing methods, Dan guides his students toward a healthy and efficient vocal technique, emphasizing proper use of breath, balanced registration, and the elimination of tension. A typical lesson begins with physical warmups, breathing practice, and vocal exercises. Strong foundations allow for exploring advanced classical techniques, belting, and healthy pop/rock music approaches to singing.
While his background is in classical singing, Dan believes that most good, healthy singing shares more in common than not and has included serious students interested in contemporary musical theatre as well as various pop/rock styles in his studio over the years.
