ACADEMY OF ARTS-Voice Lessons
Dear Parents and Students,

Thanks you for the interest on having your kids take Voice lessons. Numerous studies
have shown that music is an important element in a child’s development. Music helps a
child to develop, not only a higher level of concentration and analytical thinking, but also
increases a person’s self-esteem and social skills, as well as helps relieve the stress of the
everyday life.

Another extremely diverse instrument, (yes the voice is an instrument!) the voice can be
used in every music known to man from opera, to blues, to classical, to Broadway. The
list goes on and on. Historically, most studies in the west choose a classical training to
strengthen their breathing, sound and range. This enables the voice student to be more
versatile. From this basic understanding, voice lessons will give the student the
opportunity to cultivate their own unique sound and style. By utilizing the rudiments of
vocal technique, a voice student will learn reading, rhythm, vocal production, intonation,
theory and more.

Age to Start Voice Lessons
You can never be too young to begin your training as a musician. Many teachers have
different ideas as to what age is appropriate, but generally 12 years of age is a good place
to begin serious Voice lessons. It is possible to start Voice lessons at a much younger age
(7), but the lessons would focus more on basic musicianship skills and vocal breathing
techniques in order to prepare a student for serious training as their body and voice
matures.

Benefits of Voice Lessons
Voice lessons will bring many benefits to a student's life. The act of singing is known to
relax and reduce stress. Also since there is no physical instrument to hold, the act of
singing can be very personal. Therefore, learning to sing in front of an audience can be a
great confidence builder as well! Voice lessons will give the student the chance to find
your own personal sound and a way to express yourself like no other instrument can!

Please call 254-432-5173 if you have any questions or concerns and to reserve an

Nancy
