Video Lessons
The main driving force behind Vocal 360 Method is the short and easy-to-digest Video Lessons. But these videos are not like the seemingly random results that you found on your last YouTube search…
Vocal 360 Method is powered by a world-class educational framework called Cyclical Pedagogy®. I know that sounds really fancy, but you don’t need to worry about it at all. It’s quietly at work in the background, while we connect the dots for you from lesson to lesson. All you have to do is watch, learn and be thrilled as your voice begins to soar!
Practice Segments
Binge watching a bunch of Vocal 360 Method video lessons would be a fun way to spend a weekend… But no matter how much “entertainment value” I bring to your life, you can only grow as a singer, if you apply what you’ve learned!
Practice Segments to the rescue! The course is organized into Weeks (although you may take as long as you wish, to complete a “week”) and every Week includes some form of Practice. This way we continually apply what we’re learning, so that it can become a part of your “musical fabric”.
Ear Training
A whole lot of singing comes down to muscle coordination. But your most important “musical muscles” are your ears. (I know, I know: the ear is not a muscle…)
Once we learn any new musical concept, we will immediately train our minds, to recognize melodies and harmonies by ear. Don’t worry, we’ll break it down to bite-sized steps, so it won’t be scary at all!
Downloadables
You will be so proud of yourself, because – probably for the first time – Music Theory will make perfect sense. We will also make it SUPER practical, so it’s not just a bunch of useless head-knowledge, but things that you will actually use in every rehearsal and studio session.
Everything that we’ll be learning will be brought to life with on-screen animations, so all of the connections between melodies and harmonies will be really easy to visualize. But for those of you who need to digest things a little more on your own, we also include Downloadables of all key concepts. We’re nice like that… 😉
Vocal Health
As a singer, you are only as effective as your voice is healthy… That can be a scary thought at first, but we’ll take the sting out of general Vocal Health concerns and learn about easy, practical, preventive steps that you can take, to keep your voice in top shape.
Clearly, this won’t be “medical advice”, but you will be shocked how powerful prevention can be for your voice and for overall health.
