What are some of the benefits of joining the Academy?
You will get a dedicated time slot for your weekly lesson.
In the past, scheduling a lesson was first come, first served. This has many benefits, but a dedicated weekly lesson time will lead to more extraordinary advancement for the student.
Access to Masterclasses with leading performers in the industry.
Because of my professional singing career, I have worked with some fabulous performers. Many of my peers are now working as performers on Broadway, on National Tours, on the international opera stage, and as recording artists. I have also worked with many internationally recognized directors and casting directors who will be featured in Masterclass. There will be opportunities for the Academy students to have masterclasses with these industry-leading professionals. This is a very special thing! There will be at least one major masterclass per semester.
End of the Semester Recital
Students in the Academy will be able to perform at a professionally recorded recital at the end of the semester. Because of timing, the recital may be scheduled during the following semester.
Advanced music theory and keyboard skills.
Choir auditions in Boulder and around the United States are incredibly challenging - from elementary school all-state choirs to middle school, high school, and adult community choirs. Without elite musical training, it is very difficult to pass the auditions for these ensembles. Your lessons will include sight-singing preparation, ear training preparation, and basic keyboard skills that will give you the best chance of being accepted into these choirs. If the student is headed to college, this could also potentially save thousands of dollars by passing out of introductory musicianship courses at the collegiate level.
Workshops and Music Production Meet Ups
Weekly group sessions and workshops will include topics like:
Ableton Live/Logic - Beginning and Intermediate techniques will be covered.
Songwriting Workshops - play and workshop your new composition.
Performance Workshops - practice your audition piece for the group.
Boulder Voice Lessons Testimonials
“It can be hard to know what to look for in a teacher. Josh embodies everything we needed as we looked for the next step (son has been taking for 9 years working with teachers locally and in NYC). First and foremost Josh provides a focus on vocal cord health, then helps you identify and love your tone and range while helping you grow it. For a male singer going through voice change, it can be as difficult emotionally as it is physically learning to sing again. Josh patiently helps male students relearn the shapes and sounds while helping regain their confidence (using technique and songs). We highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to work technique or up your game for professional gigs or college auditions.”
“Josh is a really amazing teacher! He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and patient, and I have seen immense progress in my few months of working with him. As a shy singer I was initially a little intimidated of singing in front of people, but Josh has a gift for creating a relaxed and safe singing environment. I am excited to see where my voice will be in a year or so! I would highly recommend Josh as a voice teacher.”
“My daughter loves her voice and piano lessons with Josh and has grown so much. It’s really inspiring for her to work with a professional singer and we even got to watch him perform with the Colorado Opera. He’s fun, patient, and she looks forward to each lesson. Josh is a true master of his craft and we highly recommend working with him.”
“Boulder Voice Lessons is AMAZING! How did we get so lucky to get Josh in our little town! Josh is so talented at teaching his technique. He is patient and so smart. He has a true method to his teaching always with growth in mind for the students. Everything he teaches is with purpose. My daughter has learned more in 2 months then in all the years she has studied piano and voice! Thanks Josh!”
