Vocals
At Meath Music Academy we know that everyone’s singing goals are different and that’s why we provide personalised vocal coaching for all ages and levels.
Your teacher will walk you through a simple vocal assessment to hear your voice and suggest ideas on how best to help you reach your goals.
Depending on your experience, a typical lesson will incorporate: warming up the voice, a series of technique-orientated exercises based on your vocal needs and applying this to song.
We will also be developing your musical ear, making sure you are pitching correctly during the scales and song and making sure that your voice is working towards achieving vocal balance.
We teach Commercial Modern Music (CCM) vocal styles and work at the students pace to develop the techniques they need.
