Solo Find Your Silver Lining Voice
A 7-day, guided vocal lesson and practice series (max 45 min per day). Functional anatomy, mind-body connection, guided reflections, two songs in which to apply your new skills.
Lessons founded on facts
Based on anatomy and function, not metaphor and copying
Every single body does the exact same things to create sound out of the air we breathe. But it feels different to each of us. Laura's expertise allows her to be your guide to the clues and sensations your body it telling you about how to sing with more easy and beauty and expression.
(re)discover the joy of singing
Have you spent so long worrying about singing perfectly, that you've forgotten the joy and delight of singing? Did you know everyone can sing?! Society, families, professionals tell us that we have to have born-talent to sing, but that's not true.
Nourish, learn, grow & better understand your voice
My unique way of teaching will allow you to understand how your body and voice works, so you can tap into the inner songs you're longing to share - with the world, or simply in the privacy of your own home.

FAQ
-
What singing experience do I need?
No expertise required. I have designed this introduction to SLV instruction to be easy and clear, for anyone to succeed in a new way of thinking. This works because part of my teaching style relies on renewing your relationship with your voice: We will be experimental, gentle and very informative.
-
What equipment do I need to take this course
You will need a computer with internet streaming, speakers or headphones good enough to allow you to hear me while you are singing, and the ability to print out sheet music once in a while.
-
Who is this course for?
Designed for adults and young adults. You don't need to be trained or even be what people consider 'a singer'. This course is for anyone who wants to simply sing for the joy of singing, and better understand how their voice works.
-
Can I get feedback directly from you?
Yes! At the end of the course you get an online lesson with me. We'll talk about your discoveries and questions, and give insights. And we'll sing and I'll suggest next steps for you and your voice.
-
How do I get more info?
You can email me directly at [email protected]. I'll look forward to your questions!
