Our voice teachers are experts in solid, scientifically-based classical vocal technique, but we also encourage and enjoy working in a variety of styles and genres, including jazz, pop, musical theater, country, rock, etc.. We coach singers in proper breath support and control, unifying the vocal registers, healthy belting, vocal mix, "chest" voice, "head" voice, vibrato, legato singing, good diction, beautiful resonance, vocal health and longevity.

voice lessons for kids
Children's voices need special attention and care, and our voice teachers have the expertise to guide young singers through the process of vocal development without worry of strain or damage. And we know how to keep lessons FUN and engaging!
In addition to basic vocal concepts, such as posture, breathing, diction, and tone quality, we work with students on musical proficiency and encourage creativity.
Performance opportunities are provided to students through our virtual and live recitals, concerts and vocal competitions.
voice lessons for teens
Voices go through many changes during puberty and the teen years. No one knows that more than teenage boys who go through the embarrassment of uncontrollable cracking in their speaking and singing voices. But teen girls also face special challenges during this time.
Teen singers need specialized guidance of experienced voice teachers with unique understanding of the growth process as it relates to the vocal mechanism, as well as the emotional and psychological changes that are taking place during this time, and how that affects their vocal development .
The voice teachers at Lori Moran Music take these factors into consideration to prepare a specialized curriculum for each student, tailoring lessons to meet the student's particular needs and musical goals.
Through step-by-step vocal exercises, we further expand on the solid foundational concepts of breath management, tone, diction, intonation, and bridging the low and high registers. We continue building students' musical proficiency and performance skills, giving them the confidence needed to go on stage and put all this vocal training to effective use. We encourage students to step out of their comfort zone, exploring new styles and genres of music, and are just as thrilled as our students are when they exceed their own expectations.
Performance opportunities are provided to students through our virtual and live recitals, concerts and vocal competitions.
combination voice & piano lessons
We provide an economical and time-efficient way for students who wish to learn to play piano and sing to combine their lessons in a number of ways. Students may do so all in the same lesson, splitting up the time, vary lessons weekly, or take more than one lesson per week. Any combination is feasible.
It is a great way for children or adults to be exposed to a variety of opportunities, and to discover where their natural affinities lie. Combination piano and voice lessons help provide a more cohesive understanding of note reading and music theory as it is applied to both disciplines. Combination lessons also make a great gift when one isn't sure what instrument will appeal to the receiver.

online voice lessons
All of our voice teachers and our voice & piano teachers offer online voice lessons for adults, kids and teens. The Covid-19 pandemic made it necessary and now it's become a convenience that many of us continue to rely on. While it's always preferable to do in-person lessons, due to the nature of singing and the specific acoustical properties of the voice being relegated to the quality of one's computer equipment and internet speed, we understand that it's just not always possible to go to a teacher's studio. Luckily, technology has improved considerably when it comes to online music lessons, and many of the issues in this type of instruction have been mitigated.
There are a few adjustments that must be made to one's settings if using Zoom, however. We encourage students to refer to our guide on Zoom Settings for Music Lessons and make those adjustments before your first lesson.
group voice lessons
Not ready to jump into one-on-one private voice lessons? Or do you sing with a group that needs some fine-tuning? Group voice lessons may be the answer for you. Learn the fundamentals of vocal technique in a low-stress, supportive group environment. If you and a friend (or more) would like to take group lessons together, let us know, and we'll set up a day and time that works for you. We can help you get your duet, trio, quartet, or larger ensemble singing together in perfect harmony.
We have had years of experience working with large and small groups. The same vocal techniques and skills used in individual lessons are applied in group lessons, but special attention is given to the group blend, balance, and tuning.
Lessons for your group may be scheduled in 30, 45 and 60 minute sessions, weekly or on an as-needed basis, in our studios, in your home, or other rehearsal space.
