Private lessons are one-on-one, and progress at your own pace. You can expect to spend part of nearly every lesson warming up and practicing technical exercises, what I often refer to as "skills and scales." :-) If you're a beginner and have limited keyboard or sightreading skills, you may spend part of your lessons learning notes and accurate rhythms (durations). Singing is about using the whole body as an instrument, so don't be surprised if I have you moving around and coordinating movement with singing (eurhythmics). The more you practice and learn between lessons, the more of your lesson time will be devoted to performing and polishing song repertoire.
