What’s important to HOV
It is important to HOV that students have a great understanding of their instrument.
The only way this can be achieved is through vocal lessons and education centred around a singers individual instrument.
HOV students learn about the body, the key muscle groups in singing, what their individual habitual makeup is, awareness and aquainting yourself with these muscles, learning how programmed relationships in the body can influence sound, the recognition and retraining of the mind to better influence sound and any blocks getting in the way of our vocal success.
Understanding the Body
With extensive education in vocal anatomy and pedagogy, HOV provides vocalists the opportunity to gain skills both as a singer and as a musician, whilst improving technique and artistry.
HOV maintains a fun, holistic and interactive approach to vocal training, educating students in vocal anatomy, awareness training, the body and how it can efficiently produce sound without strain/effort with techniques to promote good vocal health, efficiency and stamina.
Straying from the one size fits all approach, HOV has a strong emphasis on the individual, focusing on singer’s key strengths, eliminating inefficient habitual vocal patterns and developing individual programs to set vocalists on the path to becoming their best!
