Sally and her husband live in Molena, Georgia. In her spare time, Sally serves as soloist and pianist for her church, acts in local theater productions, and cares for her English Bulldog, Buttercup and her Akita, Takara. Ms. Sally believes in vocal exploration as a means of self-discovery. In voice lessons, the student will learn vocal production through the anatomy of the voice - how humans make sound. Vocal control and maintenance is vital to the well-being of the singer. Therefore, Ms. Sally is dedicated to classical training at all levels. Students will develop proper warm-up skills and effective performance posture through confidence-building strategies each wee. Younger singers begin studying age-appropriate materials including folk music and show tunes. As the singer progresses, classical repertoire is introduced. Performances are the culmination of mastery in styles studied throughout the semester. Let's work together to find the singer in you!
