The Vocal Studio’s E-Singing Lessons
1) Online lessons will be on “Zoom Cloud Meetings”. Please download the app from your App Store, Play Store or Google and create an account. We would highly recommend using a Laptop for your lessons.
The recurring link to join the lesson with your coach will be sent to you via email reminder or WhatsApp. Please save the link & only join the link when it is time for your allocated session.
Both the Video & Audio feature should be turned on.
At times, Audio must be turned on manually when the meeting has begun. There would be a feature called “Call through Zoom Audio” on the bottom left corner of the screen.
** Test the app out at home before the day of your lesson, ensuring that your application works well- Especially Sound feedback, and screen quality. If the sound is not clear on a desktop, then make sure that you choose a device that has the best quality camera and sound function)
2) Find a quiet place for the lesson to be conducted in a conducive space. Make sure that you are connected to the internet for the class to be conducted smoothly.
3) A Laptop/desktop is recommended for all lessons. This is so your coach can see the full spectrum of your body. If you do use your mobile phone/tablet, do place it at a distance such that your coach can see the full frame of your body for breathing exercises, etc.
4) Please prepare your lyrics before the lesson begins, either digitally or print out a hard copy, ready for you to refer to.
5) Any backing tracks/ music must be played from your end, either by screen sharing or use of an extra device.
6) All Vocal Warm-Ups will be done the same way as it is during your physical lessons. You can access warm up audio files at here: https://thevocalstudio.sg/vocal-exercises
7) Feel free to ask us any questions during this period and remember to have fun and keep singing!
We would like to thank you for your support during this period of our online lessons. We look forward to hearing your feedback as we enter a new platform at The Vocal Studio, and we will see you very soon!
Warmest Regards,
The Vocal Studio Singapore Team
