I am Amy Prickett and I have been teaching voice for twenty years to a variety of students ranging in age and ability level. I have taught elementary, middle school and high school students as well as college majors and adults with a variety of vocal backgrounds.
A native Texan, I received my Bachelor of Music from TCU and moved out of state for graduate school. I received my Masters of Music in Voice Performance from Michigan State University, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance from the University of Alabama.
I have also taught for schools in a variety of school districts such as Birdville, Arlington, and private schools such as the Oakridge School as well as schools in other states. I currently live in Fort Worth and teach for TCU through the School of Music Preparatory Division.
What is taught during private voice lessons?
Private lessons consist of individual instruction for students with a desire to improve their vocal technique, with focus on the fundamentals such as breath management, freedom of production, registration, resonance, diction and artistic interpretation. Each lesson will consist of exercises that will help the student work on the vocal basics followed by the implementation of those the techniques on repertoire. The pieces may include songs needing work from choir as well as solo vocal repertoire.
Is there an age requirement?
Most voice instructors agree that students age 11 or older are most likely able to benefit from vocal instruction. Fifth grade and above is an ideal age to take voice lessons, although every student develops at a different rate.
How much are Lessons?
The cost will be $25 per lesson.
