If there is one thing EVERY student for the last decade has asked me, it's all about the high notes! Everyone wants them. And there are a lot of stumbling blocks to getting there.

FIRST: you've got to know how your voice works. Biologically speaking! Your body is your instrument. Know it. Love it. Use it the way that is healthy and powerful.

SECOND: why the hell are high notes so hard? You've got to understand exactly what's going on in the instrument, to diagnose the issue, and present a solution. 

THIRD: you've got to know HOW to train, and only then, WHAT exercises to train with.

That's why I made this course. To teach you these three things.

By the end of this course, you will have created a program designed for your voice to practice high notes, along with checks and balances on making sure you're practicing the RIGHT way, and not teaching your nervous system to memorize something harmful (like tension, stress, or over engagement of the laryngeal muscles!)

The class includes supplemental materials, including visualizations of vocalises, a free practice chart, and more.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED! I am offering the first 30 people who contact me (mentioning this course) a free one-on-one coaching, to help them get started on their journey. Complete the course, and follow the instructions when you arrive on that lesson. (No I'm not going to tell you exactly what minute on which video! Work the course. Then let's connect.)
