Lessons

Picture
Peter offers weekly, one-hour lessons, Tuesday through Saturday. Students receive an audio CD recording of each session. 

Consistent weekly lessons yield 
the best results and are therefore highly encouraged, but alternative arrangements can be made to meet special needs and circum-stances.


In the initial lessons, Peter begins an analysis of the student's needs and sets a plan for meeting his or her goals. Based on these individual needs and goals, Peter works with the student to develop: 
  • mutually supportive breath control and expansion of the vocal mechanism
  • unrestricted resonance and proper intonation involving harmonic overtones and acoustic vibrato 
  • proper vowel production
  • repertoire, interpretation of song, and a passionate connection to the material
  • essential music skills
  • performance experience in a safe environment.



Regular students are invited to participate in Peter’s evening Studio Classes on the third Monday of each month.
