My daughter has always loved singing and has told me she wanted to be a pop star since she was about 5 years old and she is now 9. I wasn't really sure how much talent she actually had versus me thinking she's the greatest because she's my little girl. So I bought a months worth of singing lessons at The Golden Voice with Aria Johnson just to see if there was anything there.
In the first lesson Aria was able to make us both feel really comfortable even though my daughter did have to audition. I thought it was cool how Aria doesn't take every client because then I knew I could trust her. She taught my daughter how to breathe properly for singing, which is apparently different from normal breathing and I noticed an instant result with how she sounded. We had a lot of fun at the lesson and have continued to go back every week for 6 months now.
The bottom line is that my daughter has never been happier and now we have an actual shot at her dream of making it as an singer coming true. I have also been using Aria as a consultant which has come in very handy. Aria has helped me navigate the industry so I can figure out what to do next for my daughter as far as having a career. As a result, we just got an agent a few weeks ago who thinks we can get her booked easily and we will be recording a demo early next year. Even if your kid isn't trying to become a pop star, but just loves music, I would highly recommend working with Aria. She has a knack for teaching kids how to sing, and more importantly they enjoy every second of it.
