Winnetka and Piano Power
Over the past few years, Piano Power has gained a devoted following of Winnetka students. We love being a part of this beautiful and historic community.
Age recommendations
Private voice lessons are recommended for Winnetka students ages 9 and up. Students younger than 9 have achieved benefits from voice lessons as well, and we’ll be happy to consider them on a case-by-case basis. Voice students who have had a couple years of piano background find it particularly easy to jump right in.
Practice expectations
Your voice teacher will work with you to create a practice plan that works for your student’s schedule. The single most important element of voice practice is regularity. We know our Winnetka voice students are busy! But devoting even a modest amount of time each day to voice practice produces much better results than relying on weekly “cram sessions.” Ideally, your student will make voice practice a regular part of his or her day.
For accompaniment, a keyboard or piano
For effective voice lessons, you should plan to have a piano or keyboard available in the room where the lessons take place. This way, the voice teacher will be able to accompany your student as he or she develops a strong sense of pitch, rhythm, and expression.
Piano Power recitals
We encourage our Winnetka voice students to participate in our twice-yearly recitals. Our Winnetka voice students will find themselves in good company — many of our piano and guitar students already add vocal accompaniment to their recital performances. A recital vocal performance is a wonderful way to celebrate the achievements of your student’s voice lessons… and to make some new fans along the way!
We’re ready to match you with a great Winnetka voice teacher!
We’d love to talk more with you about our terrific Winnetka voice teachers, and how to get the most out of your voice student’s experience. Our abiding goal is that our students develop a lifelong love of music. Call Piano Power today at 773.547.2426, or email us at info@pianopower.org.
