Teaching Info

Maya offers private singing lessons online via Zoom and in central Calgary.

The Free Your Natural Voice method retrains your voice, starting with the foundations of breath, body and mind – it is for beginners, experienced singers, adults and children alike.  Maya’s training develops your volume and breath control, deepens your listening skills, opens your ability for improvisation and much more.  You will feel more confident and inspired to sing.

How Voice Training Works

Maya recommends at least four to eight one hour lessons to give a foundation and introduction to freeing your natural voice.  These foundation lessons start to loosen old habits and begin to shape new vocal patterns.  With retraining of the voice, lessons can progress and deepen, allowing you to explore wider ranges, different singing styles and better articulation.
