Diet for Strong Vocal Muscles:
It’s understood that a hungry or too full of a tummy may not allow the diaphragm to work just right so students are encouraged to eat light prior to practice.
*Practice vocal exercises 10min a day.
*Practice songs 20 minutes minimum three times a week (refusal to practice as scheduled can disqualify the student).
*No dairy products two hours prior to practices and performances.
*Gargle each night and morning with warm water.
*Rest well.
*Get physical exercise.
*Keep hydrated - Drink the minimum of three glasses of water a day.
*Eat more veggies.

As we head into our new season of events, we are thrilled about coaching the students, helping them build their love for singing, music, acting and performing through dedication and good work; and through their dedication and hard work everyone’s experience and time will be eventful, fruitful and enjoyable!
