Masterclass and Asynchronous Coaching

Service Description

Our trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming masterclasses are the only live service designed exclusively for adult singers and songwriters. Masterclass meets twice each month in 45-minute sessions, creating a consistent rhythm of shared learning, creativity, and human connection—the kind of growth that self-paced study alone cannot replace. All Masterclass students also receive full access to the studio’s self-paced courses, which are designed to support and extend live learning between sessions. The first masterclass each month focuses on singing, and the second focuses on songwriting, with piano and music production woven throughout both as supportive tools that deepen understanding and artistic choice. Courses and live instruction are intentionally aligned, allowing adults to explore voice, songwriting, piano, and production through multiple learning pathways. Each session opens with a structured teaching segment grounded in real-world artistry. Singing-focused masterclasses explore vocal technique such as breath coordination, resonance, phrasing, tone, and stylistic nuance. Songwriting-focused masterclasses center on lyric craft, melodic development, form, and musical storytelling. Piano is used to demonstrate harmony and phrasing, while music production tools—such as Ableton Live—illustrate arrangement, layering, texture, and expressive effects. Instruction then flows into guided, multi-level activities designed to meet adults where they are. Whether early-stage, returning to music, or deeply experienced, participants apply concepts through accessible, structured exploration. Activities may include shaping melody from text, refining phrasing through vocal experimentation, or examining how production choices transform a song’s emotional impact. The emphasis remains on discovery, agency, and authentic expression rather than perfection. Every masterclass is recorded and shared privately so participants can revisit material or catch up if they are unable to attend live. Adults may choose to enroll in Masterclass Only, Masterclass and Asynchronous Coaching, or Masterclass and Live One-on-One Coaching, depending on the level of individualized support they want alongside the shared learning experience. Between sessions, participants are invited into The Lyric Isles, our private online community, where connection, encouragement, and creative exchange continue beyond the virtual classroom.
