Dani
Payne
Coach
Voice/ Singing
Dani has been teaching voice and vocal performance for 7 years and has taught students from 7-80. Voice lessons are aimed at students who are looking to develop their voice or those looking to learn a specific skill or genre of singing. Lessons consist of vocal exercises to strengthen the voice and give the student a good understanding of how it works and songs that the student and I choose so that we can learn to apply the techniques from the exercises. Plus, songs are just more fun! My goal with each student is to access their specific goals and needs and work with them to achieve those goals. Our voices are muscles that need to be worked and understood and I love working with students to give them a strong understanding of exactly what their voice is capable of doing.
Wonderful words about Dani!
