"Taking voice lessons with Laura has been transformational for my singing! When I started with her, I could make a lot of sound, but it cost me a lot. She has taught me to truly support my voice with breath and to place the sound forward in a way that takes less effort and doesn't tax my throat. Singing feels very different now and I can do it for longer without tiring myself out. Plus, lessons are a lot of fun because Laura is knowledgeable, interesting, lively, and has as great sense of humor!"

"I'm in my earlyish 50s, and I've been singing in choirs all my life. I've never really had any lessons though - just getting through with the odd general tips from chorus masters down the years. So I just wanted to say to you that I'm finding your lessons and tips wonderful, in fact really nothing short of dynamite! I've been aware for a long time that I've struggled not having any proper singing technique; I've been trying to do something about it over the last two years or so, and I've learnt a lot and made some good progress. But your super, simple and understandable instructions and demonstrations are like a revelation!"

"I feel that I am on the way to solving key problems that have been plaguing me, that things I thought were issues feel irrelevant or easily surmountable, and that my vision of what I want to do with my voice is a workable goal that makes sense. So much exceedingly useful information, presented in an easily accessible, immediately applicable way: more than worth your weight in gold!"

FOR DIRECTORS

Choral WORKSHOPS

Would you love to build your singers’ confidence?

Could your singers use some support in building their individual musicianship?

Is morale flagging after a year of Zoom?

This unusual season doesn’t have to be a slow slide toward singer disengagement, and I would love to help by bringing a workshop to your choir.

Past topics include voice maintenance at home, re-connecting to the voice after a break, and independent music learning for singers. Or contact me to design a bespoke workshop for your group.

"You are truly a teaching artist! Thank you for a most excellent workshop. My folks are raving!"

"The members of my chorus normally have very active singing lives, and this pandemic has robbed them not only of a meaningful activity but the muscle memory required for healthy singing. Laura’s workshop was not only incredibly useful from a technique standpoint, but her presence with us on Zoom was joyful and positive, giving the chorus a hopeful approach to a return of choral singing!"

FOR EVERYONE!

Public Workshops

The best way for singers to get started working with me in person – 90-minute online technique workshops on a range of focus topics.

All registrations include live session plus recorded replay.

New Workshops coming this Fall . . .

"I’m so privileged to have had your tutorial yesterday! I learned a lot and plan to follow up with the exercises. Thanks for being so encouraging and specific about things to work on. I’m feeling more confident and hopeful now."

Hi! I'm Laura.

Here on The Weekly Warm-Up, I provide straightforward voice education for adult choral singers like you, so you can enjoy your singing with more confidence and less confusion. If you have been singing in a choir for years, secretly feeling the whole time that you don’t know anything about your voice, I want to help you take control over your musicianship and technique.

I’m a singer too, and I know how frequently we rush through rehearsals, taking little time to build our skills (and confidence!). But technique is for everyone, and it’s not magic! I’m here to give you the information you need to build up your own home practice, so that you can improve your own singing and have more fun while you’re at it.

Every week, I stock The Weekly Warm-up with free exercises and routines so you can get started right now!
