Masterclass, Practice Plans, and Courses

Service Description

Our trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming masterclasses are the only live service designed exclusively for adult singers and songwriters. Meeting once a month, we gather for shared learning, creativity, and human connection—the kind of growth that self-paced study cannot replace. Singing and songwriting remain at the center, while piano and music production are threaded through every session to add depth and clarity. Each class opens with practical instruction in vocal technique—breath coordination, resonance, phrasing, and style—and in songwriting craft, including lyric development, melody, and form. Phrasing and harmony are demonstrated at the piano, and Ableton Live Suite is used as a supportive tool to illustrate arrangement, layering, and expressive effects. Electronic and experimental approaches such as sampling, synthesis, live looping, and sound design are integrated to expand artistic range. The goal is always real-world artistry: clear, applicable methods that can be used immediately. Participants then move into guided, multi-level activities that allow every adult—whether early-stage, returning, or established—to apply the concepts in meaningful ways. Activities may include setting lyrics to melody, reshaping phrasing through improvisation, or comparing how production choices alter interpretation across acoustic, electronic, and hybrid textures. The emphasis remains on discovery, creativity, and authentic expression rather than perfection. Each session is recorded and shared privately for later review. Subscriptions include monthly asynchronous coaching, with the number of sessions varying by tier, to provide individualized feedback and continued growth. Between classes, The Lyric Isles—our private online community—keeps participants connected, supported, and inspired to create.
