Describe your organization or gallery

Celia teaches the Speech Level Singing vocal technique. This technique trains your vocal cords to stay adducted (when they don't, you'll feel your voice get breathy at a certain place) throughout your entire range, chest, mix, and head. It trains your larynx to stay stable instead of raising up (you'll feel a squeeze or loss of voice when this happens). Loss of power, strain? Who wants that? Celia's lessons help you get the proper compression combined with release in the voice. Celia will help you understand your instrument the same way you understand an instrument outside of your body, like a piano or guitar. We'll determine the work you need to do to bring your voice into balance, and find the freedom and joy you should and can feel when you sing. Using specific scales and sounds to promote either release or connection you will learn to address imbalances in your voice. To increase her students' musical literacy and versatility, Celia also teaches music theory, sight reading, beginner piano, guitar, ukulele, and songwriting. Celia says "I've been performing and recording for 15+ years. I see myself in my students.
