Voice Lessons

    Jendza Music Studio provides voice lessons to students of all ages, abilities, and voice types. Students participate in school-sponsored contests and festivals as well as contests and festivals sponsored by other organizations. Students take voice lessons for many reasons: to prepare for musical auditions and college auditions, singing in church, singing for county and state fairs, and many other events. Jendza Music Studio provides a digital piano for studio use as well as a digital keyboard. The studio also has recording equipment and software for making audition recordings and/or CDs.

    A variety of books and music are used. Unfortunately, there is no one series of book for the singer, so we use several books to cover sight-singing, warm-ups, theory, ear training, and repertoire. Below are some of the books in use by current students:

The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology

Sacred Solos for All Ages

The First Book of Solos (by voice type)

Standard Vocal Literature (Hal Leonard)

Singer's Book of Jazz Standards (Hal Leonard)

Marchesi Vocal Method

Concone: The School of Sight-Singing

26 Italian songs and Arias

Musical Theatre Anthology for Teens
