Chapter: Publick Times
Newport News, VA
Faculty
Objective:
The opportunity to work with individual singers as well as quartets
and chapters is exciting and rewarding. As a Vocal Performance Coach I strive
to enhance the overall performance level of each singer. I evaluate each learning
situation and then implement a plan to teach the performer(s), as well as their
“in-chapter” educators, how to “make habit” the vocal
and performance skills that will raise their levels of performance. I will continue
my efforts to infuse our educators/learners with the desire and confidence to
move forward in their abilities.
In support of our region’s educational
goals, I plan to continue my personal growth of enriching my coaching abilities
through continuing educational classes at not only International and Regional
levels, but at local colleges and through my own private vocal performance coaching.
My work with local theater and church choirs will enhance my teaching abilities
as well as hone those skills I’m still working to perfect. I will continue
to search for new educational opportunities for myself and for those I work with.
I believe that as an educator / coach I must be open to learning throughout my
life…I must never forget what it feels like to be a student…I plan
to always be a student!
