About Lessons

Lessons focus on a variety of skills (all important to being a well round musician):

music theory
ear training
vocal technique
sight-reading

VOICE LESSONS:

The Scofield Studio accepts vocal students of all skill levels. She firmly believes music and singing is not something for just professionals and the very gifted. Everyone has a voice inside them. Everyone has potential. However, she does have 2 requirements: a wiling spirit & a good attitude. Ms. Scofield accepts voice students ranging from 10 years old and up. For younger singers, Jocelyn incorporates the Gordon Music Learning Technique, a holistic learning approach to singing and music. There is a larger focus on the fundamentals of music: pitch and rhythm.

• Harmonize

• Create Melodies/Music

• Sight-reading
