Singing Refinement

Thirty minute and one hour lessons are offered. The first part of the lesson is devoted to original vocal exercises that build breath and breath management skills, flexibility, range, endurance and accuracy of intonation.

The second portion of the lesson is devoted to building repertoire. The repertoire is given first as an exercise to challenge skills that need building. Once this is accomplished, the repertoire is polished as an artistic challenge.

By doing this, you build a portfolio of repertoire that is appropriate for you, your interests, and your age. You will accumulate many songs that show off your voice and artistic skills.

Vocal Workshops

Ms. Dugan is available to give a variety of vocal workshops to school music (choral) departments, businesses, and private schools where dance training and acting is offered. For many years, she has presented successful workshops in breath, breath management and non-abusive vocal production in the bi-state St. Louis metropolitan area, and also in Los Angeles, California.

Her copyrighted workshop entitled "A Dancer's Guide to Singing" has been very helpful to dancers because it teaches vocal concepts using dance terminology.

Contact Ms. Dugan to set up a vocal workshop for your school or place of business.
