Course Details
Students taking this course will be taught one on one by Brian Lucas for an hour each week, for four weeks. As all students will have unique voices and vocal problems to address, Brian will also teach in a unique and individualized manner. By working closely with the student, Brian will be able to diagnose the exact vocal issues and create customized plans to help the student to correct these.
The majority of vocal issues that Brian has encountered have been due to overuse or sustained abuse of the vocal cords over time. Working alongside the student, Brian will be able to help them to produce vocal sounds in a much more effective and healthier way, no matter how extreme the singing, or how a student uses their voice.

The ipassio Edge
Students enrolling for this course on ipassio can be sure that they receive individual attention from the teacher, as the class strength is limited to 1 or 2 students. It also gives teachers the opportunity, to gauge their students progress in depth and make changes whenever and wherever required, to ensure the student gets the maximum out of this course. Since this course is detailed, students get the advantage of learning intricate details about this art form. The limited strength of the class also ensures that there is a strong bond between the students and their teacher clearing out any inhibitions that the student might have. The sustained guidance available from the teacher ensures that the student does not deviate from set goals or targets. Learning from a revered, experienced exponent of this art form, through the long duration of this course, keeps the student inspired and motivated to achieve more.
Course Specific Benefits
The course will teach students techniques to help achieve effective vocal control, help ease any fatigue on the vocals, create increased stability in their voice and further explore the range of their vocal capability with the view to extending and improving this.

FAQs
Question
How much time should a student enrolling for this course practice everyday?
Answer
This course will require practice time outside of lessons. Time spent practicing may vary from 15 minutes per day to an hour, depending on a student’s level of interest. Students who wish to become professional musicians will need more hours of practice per day using a different set of exercises and materials than students who are seeking to learn music as a hobby. Detailed structure of practice for each student will be discussed and explained during class.
Question
What if a student is unable to attend an upcoming class?
Answer
The student is required to inform the teacher about his absence from a particular session, two days prior to the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on teacher’s discretion.
Question
What if the teacher wishes to reschedule a class?
Answer
In case the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days prior to the class.

Question
