Training for Male Singers
Melissa Black/Vocal Coach
Melissa knows alot of music by ear of today's top male artists and bands - as well as music from the 60's on up. No one vocal coach can help you take a song and transform it into a masterpiece for the stage like Melissa. Always be prepared with a minimum of 3 songs each lesson for those doing half hour lessons and more for those doing an hour.Note - You all will love all of the songs i know by ear on the piano - just like the singers do on The Voice and other vocal competitions - we do the songs from the 60's thru today. So important to be able to take these classic songs and bring them into the new year! Only i can take these songs - BY EAR - and do them like you want them on the piano and together we can re-make these songs for you to perform and audition with.!!)
