Vocal magic with your musical theatre fairy godmother

Vocal magic with your musical theatre fairy godmother

Where are we going to vocally explore today?

As we start each vocal session, our focus is on the exciting musical journey we are about to embark on together. I tailor my teaching methods specifically to each individual student—to explore and enhance your unique vocal abilities, ensuring that each session is a consistent step forward in your musical journey.

Through a combination of targeted exercises, repertoire work, personalized guidance, and collaborative exploration, I strive to make each lesson a meaningful and joyful experience, propelling you forward on your vocal journey towards a healthy and sustainable singing experience for life. 

Vocal lessons for every voice

  • Our sessions will be focused on exploration and vocal play. We’ll work on learning how to breathe for singing, some music theory and aural skills, as well as using our voices in a healthy way. These techniques are immediately integrated into repertoire within the singer’s preferred style, ability, and range. Songs are then worked to empower the singer to confidently practice independently, while learning the tools for practice, and learning to love our voice and music.

  • Our sessions will be focused on establishing a strong technical base. We'll engage in exercises tailored to meet each singer's technical objectives, providing hands-on tools to foster new habits. These techniques are immediately integrated into repertoire within the singer's preferred style. Songs are then worked to empower the singer to confidently continue practicing independently and replicate the progress made during the session.

  • This session is exclusively focused on refining songs in your preferred style. It offers opportunities for various activities, such as song analysis, crafting a compelling narrative for an 8-bar, 16-bar, or 32-bar cut, recording piano accompaniment tracks, and more. It's particularly beneficial for last-minute auditions or refining callback material. Additionally, you have the option to request a list of up to 10 song recommendations tailored to your voice or character type.

  • When I listen back to recordings with Lindsay of our first few lessons, it genuinely sounds like a different person singing. As someone who as taken voice lessons for quite a while now, Lindsay’s constantly ebullient and charismatic personality feels very special to me. She has also taught me an incredible amount about how we physically sing, helping me conceptualize what is actually going on in my body as we practice together.

  • Lindsay is an amazing teacher and mentor. She is really knowledgeable and always brings something new to each lesson to help me achieve the next level. More than helping me find my voice, Lindsay has helped me feel more confident and comfortable when singing! She is caring, passionate, fun, supportive and patient!

    –Monica F

  • I have been coaching with Lindsay for about 6 months now. I truly do not recognize the singer that I am today. Lindsay doesn’t just help you with your technique, she helps to build your confidence as a singer and a performer. Things that I would have never attempted all those years ago, I now attack with a fervor that surprises me and excites me.

    –Shea R

  • Our daughter Hannah has been working with Lindsay Spangenthal for a year and a half. During that time, we have observed significant growth in Hannah’s vocal control, her range and her musicality. In addition to building Hannah’s musical theatre repertoire, her regular sessions with Lindsay include a vocal warm-up and a focus on breathing techniques.

    –Jess L

  • Lindsay is also an accomplished accompanist, which is a been a wonderful compliment to her vocal expertise. Her accompaniment of our daughter has also helped Hannah to better understand the intentions of the composers and the guideposts that they provide singers in their music. Hannah finds her sessions with Lindsay fun and engaging. Most importantly, she feels Lindsay provides a safe environment to make mistakes, to grow, and to learn.

    –Flo E

  • Lindsay’s extensive library and network is outstanding among the music teachers we have worked with. Her dynamic teaching style builds an intuitive body awareness and has fostered a confidence that spills over into other areas of my daughter’s life. Working with Lindsay has given her the courage to audition for and get parts that she only dreamed of.
