I got 3 singing lessons as a birthday gift so my lessons were very limited. I loved Aria's method of teaching, it was very practical. One of the biggest hurdles was getting comfortable and singing in front of a complete stranger. Aria has a very warm, patient, easy going, fun personality which helped put me at ease.
She initially had me sing a few songs to evaluate my abilities (none) and then had me work on a song of my choice. Instead of boring you with music theory, she breaks down the song for you and teaches you techniques along the way. Its a great way to learn especially since its a song you picked yourself. If you are not musically inclined Aria will translate complicated singing theories to something easy for you to understand. The techniques are simple but effective. Aria makes sure you remember the techniques by having you repeat it over and over even after you've gotten it right. It worked! I still remember all the techniques she taught me when l practice singing in my recording studio (my car and shower) every day .
I wish I had more time with her to work on a few more advanced techniques. It would have been nice if she had a way to record each lesson so you can hear yourself improve. I tried recording off my phone but the quality sucked. I had no experience at all and ZERO natural talent when I first started. At least now, I have some experience (and still zero talent). Hopefully my singing is slightly more tolerable then before.
