First lesson
For the first lesson you should bring in a song you want to start with. But don't worry if you can't pick! Genevieve will have plenty of sheet music we can use instead. She will run through a warm up and assess the areas you want to work on in particular. Each singer is unique and each lesson is also entirely unique.
