In this lesson, I will take you through my four key objectives when I start teaching a new student and a few drills/exercises that I use to help them reach those objectives:
1. Pitch Perfection
2. Range extension and evenness of scale
3. Length of phrase (breath control)
4. Increase of resonance or amplitude
Disclaimer
I can’t guarantee that all of the methods I recommend will suit you. I only use exercises and methods I personally think are good - having tried them on myself and my clients and having a thorough understanding of vocal pedagogy - but everyone's anatomy and voice are different and it's possible these exercises won't help. Wherever possible, test the method out on yourself before applying to students.
I only feature methods I like, have tested and had consistent success with, or have seen others succeed with.

I graduated with my Masters from Yale University in Vocal Performance. I am currently serving as the Director of Voice at a university in the United States where I teach vocal pedagogy and private voice lessons; I direct the opera productions and teach vocal diction for American English, French, German, and Italian. I am also a dialect coach, perhaps the thing I'm most passionate about. I love speech and the voice! To communicate really defines us and we're born with the tools to learn how! Truly astonishing!
Watching this 1hr20min before my first time teaching vocals, thank you your a lifesaver!
Happy to help!
hey how did it go? you still teaching?
Thank you! I’m a voice student in college but I’d like to start taking on young students. This is really helpful!
Love how she falls back to her British accent from time to time 😂😂
I heard it, too! I love it LOL
Yeah ok I was confused. Is she originally british? I know people who speak with an accent just because they like it so I wasn't sure 🤣
@@LPJMagicmusic I'm a dialect coach as well and spent a lot of time in England/Ireland, so sometimes it leaks out!
@@emilyworkman bring it back more! Its beautiful! My neice is 10 and thinks she is Mariah Carey, which she most definitely is not. She took group lessons for a short time but it was near the end of the season and im trying to get tips to point her in the right direction until I can find her one on one since I'm a musician/somewhat ok singer.
Haha I caught that too. This is a great video!
More beginner voice teachers training content please!!!💖🤗
Go follow my Instagram! I do loads of stuff on there! @classicalvoicecoaching
@@emilyworkman Awesome! Just followed you!
This is excellent! Thank you for this information Emily.
So fantastic!! So much great advice and information
Thank you so much for this!
Professional, Knowledgable, Sensitive and Clear!!
That was an AMAZING video! Thank you so much for sharing your pearls of wisdom with us!
This is great! Helpful. Insightful. And something off topic - such a pretty eye color
I absolutely love everything about this video. For a very old gal (me) who has lost most of her ability to sing, all of these exercises are brilliant! I actually have hope that I can sing again.
Great Lesson Emily! So many people teacher vocal lessons to kids and don't addresss thesze things because they are afraid of discouraging them. These proper techniques can also help save them from bad habits with breathing and placement that can wear on their vocal chords.
I wil try some of these to incease my breath support and to keep up my flexability, as an older choral singer. Very well done video. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a funny and nice way!
Haha! It is entirely my pleasure! Thank you for watching and for reaching out to me!
Thank you for your amazingly beautiful lesson. Video It's been extremely helpful
Thank you for your tips. I'm glad I found you. ☺️
Thank you! This is immensely helpful.
I have a degree in Music Education (Vocal Emphasis) but I never taught school because of a terrible student teaching experience. Now, after a few decades I'd like to teach voice to children. I did take voice again about 6 years ago and loved it.
the pizza vowel thing is such a good idea! thank you for all these tips !
This is so cool. I look forward to the whole series.
Thanks, Tim. 🖤🖤
Your eyes... The look insiiiiide my soul!
Thank you! You're video is invaluable to me! So appreciated!
You are so welcome!
I really enjoy your video! Do you have any more recent?
I’m a voice teacher in Montreal. These are excellent and great for my younger students. Thanks for your inspiring and educational format. You’re funny too! Great job! I’ll be back to see more🙏🏻
How kind of you to say! Best of luck in Montreal. Things are so difficult up there right now. Sending well wishes.
This is a great video Emily, thank you for sharing you expertise with the world!
Thank you, Roger!!
Hi Emily. I loved this video, it gave me a great insight on how to go about teaching. I was hoping we can connect further
It was very helpful... thank you so much
You are so good ❤️ thank you for this.
Good job! Thank you so much.
this was extremely helpful. Thank you
It's so informative and helpful!!! Thank you so much!!!💖💖💖🤗
I love using emojis too especially the sparkly hearts
So so so helpful. Thank you so much!!
I'm so pleased it helped you!
OMG....Thank you for making this video, Emily! I am always on the hunt for great ideas to help my students understand support and other important ingredients of good technique! Can you do more videos to help those of us who work with kids? Appreciate you!!
PS, adults find these exercises fun, too (haha...like me)
Hahaha, kid exercises can be tough. I usually stick to less structured exercises and do more "noise" type things. Sounds they make when they play or pretend to be disney characters with their friends. I'll keep that idea in mind! Best of luck to you!
Amazing video! About to teach my first voice lesson this week. Wish me luck!
Good luck to you! How'd it go?
so helpful!!!!
Thanks :)
Thank you for this video! I have one student and she and I both are learning together. (Recently had my teacher teach my student a few weeks ago while I observed.) These ideas are right where I need to keep focusing as I learn to better help my student.
My absolute pleasure! It's so healthy for all of us to get a new perspective no matter how seasoned we are as teachers. I'm glad this is helping! Xx.
I appreciate your effort and I want to learn under you
This is excellent. I am always struggling to find ideas for working with my students. These were very helpful.
I'm so glad, Jacob! We all need to refresh our tool kit from time to time. 🖤 Xx.
Thank you so much!
I'm looking to teach more voice and this video is very helpful so far, I'm taking so many notes, haha.. thanks!
I'm so glad!
Bravo!!!!!
amazing lesson thank's so much
Glad you liked it!

Hi Emily, Great video and practical instructions! What is a "Dialect Coach"? Best, Albert
Thank you. Educative
Thankyou so much!
You probably hear it a lot, but your eyes are amazing
Thanks Emily , Great Video. I am trying to teach my 8 Yrs Old Son and was looking for guidance. Your video's are perfect template for me to follow.
I'm so glad!
Definitely helpful
Good video. I can teach my friend now.
Great! I'm so glad!
This is so awesome, thank you Emily for sharing! I've lost some inspiration on how to start off my voice lessons lately. This helps!!!
My pleasure!
When you talk about having so many factors to choose from to focus on, that is highly relevant to today's world. I'm teaching students of all ages, and most of my younger students have been diagnosed with ADHD. To an extent, I think this is a result of a world that is way too complex, when kids need free play in nature. Simple as that. So I always try to make it playful and choose songs that my student will find fun, playful, maybe even dramatic or brings up an imaginative story. Disney songs certainly fit the profile and little kids love Disney songs, but they tend to be way too complex and challenging to sing all too often. So I pick pop songs with a good beat and some kids' songs. You have some practical tips in the video that I think apply more with preteens up through adults. I think there can be fun ways to adapt this for younger kids, and just let them be goofy and not precise. This is definitely a process of discovery.
I 100% agree.
This is something I was thinking about after teaching a choir of young girls for a choral conducting concert.
What mic to you use? Is this a mic you use for teaching online by chance? THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom.
Where can I find noiseless party blowers? All of the ones I've found make noise. My students would benefit so much from this!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hi, I have a question as one who sang and danced professionally, years and decades and centuries ago, because of recent events, I have a question which never ever occurred to me, and I know there are different genres of music, but (run on sentence here), does one have to be able to belt out, be well rounded, to be considered the greatest, or can they just have tone, resonance, emotion and praise, without belting, and diction could be better. Thanks.
@ 1:44 Preach!
I thought it was so cute when you talked about the squeaks, and put captions " I guess it is sometimes "and made an ahh sound hahah
This video is really really good!!
I ran and bought blow-outs (online of course). But they are shorter than the one you are using in the video ( i Would say your blow-out is 1.5 times longer). Do shorter blow-outs make the exercise less efective?
Thank you! Hm...not sure about length. I buy mine on Amazon from a company called "Zoom party." They are a multicolored pack and are 13 and 3/4 inches long.
Thanks for your video ! Isn't there a noisemaker inside your blow-out ? Are there any blow-outs without ? ;-)
tnx♥
Do you happen to have a link for the blowout with no noise?
Finally figured out how to link these! Hope this helps. amzn.to/3WzdLr6
Where do you find these blowouts? I can't find silicone ones anywhere...
I finally figured out how to link these. Haha. Hope this helps ---> amzn.to/3WzdLr6
Would a balloon be good for resistance?
YESS!!!
Especially with beginner students, how do you balance exercises with actual music?
Depends on length of lesson and student's need. For 50 minutes, break down is something like: 5-10 minute catch up or recap. 15 minutes for technique and warm up work, 15-20 minutes to work on repertoire/songs, 5 minutes for closing and assignments.
What is the cost?
Beautiful Eyes!
Hello my name is kain and I was wondering if you could sing me a song called one little coyote please
Her eyes are beautiful ❤️ I'm destructed not understanding what she's saying 😊❤️
Has anyone found such blowouts? Mute ones?
These are the ones I use! --> amzn.to/3WzdLr6
@@emilyworkman oh thxxxxx!! (even sold out for the moment, but I'll wait for the originals:))
this is great, it doesn't hurt that she is so beautiful, sorry, I said it!
I have never seen someone buzz with their tongue out and can't figure out how to do it....
I dont get it are you british doing a north american voice or are you north american doing a british voice
Beginner singing student here looking for cheat codes
I thought it was like blow out hair
Haha, nope! It's these ---> amzn.to/3WzdLr6
you should do comedy
Be careful in educating people about the diaphragm. It doesn't control support, that's the job of the abdominals and the solar plexus.
Thanks for the ideas 😊
You, too. Lots of muscles may be used to manipulate rib cage expansion & achieve "control" - which is a very personal sensation. There is evidence that each singer engages their own, unique respiratory activity to achieve the same goals. Some singers use the diaphragm only during inhalation. Some engage diaphragm activity during the initial phase of exhalation to raise pressure to the level needed to generate vocal fold vibration. Others have no diaphragmatic activity during phonation at all. In addition to the intercostal muscles, the abdominal, oblique, and back muscles play a role in "controlling" the rate of breath release and, therefore, sound. Whatever words are used are less important than helping the singer appreciate how to sense their breath management. My own words have certainly shifted, especially when I studied vocology. Constant improvement is key!
Good luck to you!
@@emilyworkman I talk about the diaphragm and lower parts of the body as the trunk of the tree. We want a solid base or grounding to the voice and use the floor as the extension of our support. I got this idea from where sound builds up from inside the chassis of a double bass. The next part is the concentration or projection of that sound (height for vowels, width for constants), which you get from your runs exercises. Hard to explain to most, but if the kid has karate lessons then there is the tree stance in the school of Akido which balances the forward weight of the body in a relaxed manner. Thai Chai has similar body control exercises and low intensity but prolonged breathing exercises as well. Not great for theater when you are bent on a floor prancing around projecting your voice, but good posture and stance is paramount. Then, again the Bel Canto camp is also known as the park and bark style.
