Voice & Singing Lessons

Singing is the most natural, joyful, and universal form of human expression — it's built into us from birth, requires no equipment, and connects people across every culture, age, and walk of life. Learning to sing strengthens the body, the breath, and the brain, boosting confidence, emotional health, and social connection. It opens a powerful channel for self-expression, whether in the shower, on stage, or in a choir, and helps individuals find their voice — both literally and metaphorically. Everyone should sing not to impress others, but to experience the deep, human satisfaction of making music from within.

Of course, if you would like to impress others with your singing, we can help you with that, too!

Voice & Singing Lessons

As a voice student at the Dennis Frayne Music Studios, Laguna Niguel & Lake Forest Schools of Music, you have choices. You may wish to learn one style of singing, and focus your efforts there. Or, you may wish to learn multiple styles of singing simultaneously. You may have been told it cannot be done, that you are too young, or too old, or not the right “voice type,” or some other falsehood. The truth is, it can be done!

The solution to beautiful and confident singing is a healthy, tension-free singing technique, and everyone can find their unique voice and learn to sing well. All styles and genres of music employ the same strategies for tension-free singing, and apply to all ages, from young children to elderly adults. Some of these styles and genres include:

  • Classical singing (such as oratorio, opera, and art song)

  • Church music (cantor, choir, and congregational)

  • Hymns and choral music

  • Folk music (traditional and modern)

  • Pop music (including pop, country, rock ‘n roll and other sub-genres)

Don’t think you can sing? “Can’t carry a tune?”

Have you been told, or have you convinced yourself, that you cannot carry a tune, or sing in tune? It’s not true… You can! Everyone can! There is no such thing as “tone-deafness.” This can easily be proven by simply talking. Do you speak with inflection? Does the tone of your speaking voice go up a little and down a little? Yes, it does! This is the basis of singing.

Or, do you believe you do not have a beautiful voice? You do! Every person is unique and beautiful and every voice is unique and beautiful. Everyone just needs to find their own unique voice, which by definition is beautiful. You can learn to sing with confidence and joy!

Everyone can learn to sing, everyone can learn to sing in tune, and everyone can learn to sing beautifully.

MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: At the Dennis Frayne Music Studios, we will help you sing in tune within a few lessons, or we will give you your money back! All of it!

Everyone Should Learn to Sing with Confidence and Joy!

Learning to sing offers numerous lifelong benefits that extend far beyond the realm of music. Singing is a powerful form of self-expression that allows individuals to communicate emotions and stories in a unique and personal way. This ability to express oneself vocally can boost confidence and self-esteem, as individuals become more comfortable with their voice and the act of sharing it with others. The confidence gained through singing often translates into other areas of life, such as public speaking, leadership, and social interactions.

Singing also has significant emotional and psychological benefits. It is a natural stress reliever, as it promotes deep breathing and releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Engaging in regular singing can help reduce anxiety and improve mood, providing a healthy outlet for processing emotions. Additionally, singing in a group, such as a choir, fosters a sense of community and belonging, as individuals come together to create something beautiful and harmonious. This sense of connection is valuable for building strong social bonds and enhancing overall mental health.

Moreover, learning to sing develops important cognitive and physical skills. It enhances memory, concentration, and listening abilities, as singers must memorize lyrics, focus on pitch and rhythm, and listen to other singers or instrumental accompaniments. Physically, singing improves lung capacity, posture, and vocal control. These skills not only contribute to better musicianship but also have practical applications in everyday life. Overall, the value of learning to sing lies in its ability to enrich one's emotional, social, and cognitive well-being, making it a rewarding and transformative experience.

“Dr. Dennis’ musicianship, teaching, and leadership skills have been central to the success of his music and performing arts students. He is popular with students, highly respected, and known to help students achieve their best.”
