YOUR FIRST LESSON:

Students 13 and older: Please bring a song and accompaniment track that you enjoy singing! It can be any genre. You can expect to run through some standard vocal warm-up exercises that will help Ila get a sense of your voice and experience level. If you don’t know any songs, Ila will have you sing Happy Birthday or The Star Spangled Banner

Students 12 and under: Most young singers are encouraged to start with 30 minute lessons, with longer lessons offered to more advanced young singers. Please schedule a 30 minute introductory lesson so Ila can assess experience. Young singers that Ila accepts into her studio are required to purchase a Full Voice workbook appropriate to their age and musical level. These books provide an excellent framework for learning music through singing, and are tailored to help young singers gain a deep understanding of singing and music theory.
