First lesson
Louise will always ask before the lesson for any specific goals or focus points the student would like to work towards, and ask them to prepare a song . For Louise it is important that the students feel the lessons are planned around what they want to learn, and what makes them excited as this makes for a better learning environment. In the first lesson you should expect:
- An introductory chat ensuring both student and teacher understand how to move forward effectively
- Fun and freeing warm ups to break the ice
- Basic breathing exercises and scales
- To work through a song the student has prepared
Beginners
Louise has a lot of experience teaching beginners and children. The student should come with a song already prepared and a notebook to write down homework for the next lesson. Louise believes singing is fun and is available to anyone at any age or skill level.
