Looking for more like this? The Voice Teacher's Toolkit: a Warm-up Database, has over 50 singing exercises and therapies to make you the "go-to" expert in teaching and transforming voices. I walk you through them step-by-step, providing explanations of why and when I use them, demonstrations, and full accompaniments!

In this lesson, I will take you through my four key objectives when I start teaching a new student and a few drills/exercises that I use to help them reach those objectives:

1. Pitch Perfection
2. Range extension and evenness of scale
3. Length of phrase (breath control)
4. Increase of resonance or amplitude

Disclaimer
I can’t guarantee that all of the methods I recommend will suit you. I only use exercises and methods I personally think are good - having tried them on myself and my clients and having a thorough understanding of vocal pedagogy - but everyone's anatomy and voice are different and it's possible these exercises won't help. Wherever possible, test the method out on yourself before applying to students.

I only feature methods I like, have tested and had consistent success with, or have seen others succeed with.

I graduated with my Masters from Yale University in Vocal Performance. I am currently serving as the Director of Voice at a university in the United States where I teach vocal pedagogy and private voice lessons; I direct the opera productions and teach vocal diction for American English, French, German, and Italian. I am also a dialect coach, perhaps the thing I'm most passionate about. I love speech and the voice! To communicate really defines us and we're born with the tools to learn how! Truly astonishing!

Hi Emily, Great video and practical instructions! What is a "Dialect Coach"? Best, Albert

[officialWWM]

Love how she falls back to her British accent from time to time 😂😂

Wow that’s brilliant with having the student sing a note and then you match it with piano! I have been confounded about how to teach pitch other than just having them listen and try to match a pitch I’m singing or playing

You probably hear it a lot, but your eyes are amazing

I have a degree in Music Education (Vocal Emphasis) but I never taught school because of a terrible student teaching experience. Now, after a few decades I'd like to teach voice to children. I did take voice again about 6 years ago and loved it.

Amazing video! About to teach my first voice lesson this week. Wish me luck!

[SoundEngraver]

I'm a new voice teacher. (I mainly teach violin and piano.) This is an informative video! I like your teaching style too. A perfect foundation for future voice teachers. Thank you!

[soozshooz]

OMG! This was THE MOST helpful video I have EVER found!!! Answered all of my questions & more. You gave us tips that I wouldn’t have thought to ask.

I wil try some of these to incease my breath support and to keep up my flexability, as an older choral singer. Very well done video. Thank you.

[jacobmeldrum]

This is excellent. I am always struggling to find ideas for working with my students. These were very helpful.

Great Lesson Emily! So many people teacher vocal lessons to kids and don't addresss thesze things because they are afraid of discouraging them. These proper techniques can also help save them from bad habits with breathing and placement that can wear on their vocal chords.

[gayleworkman]

I absolutely love everything about this video. For a very old gal (me) who has lost most of her ability to sing, all of these exercises are brilliant! I actually have hope that I can sing again.
