Register for one-on-one vocal lessons with SEACT Educator Anna Lokey. Anna will shape each 30 minute session around your personal goals. Private coaching is open to ages 9-18 and can be used for: musical theatre auditions, competitions, church or public performances, pageants or just to strengthen your instrument. After you register, Anna will contact you to get a clearer understanding of your goals and book your first session. The goal of private vocal lessons is to learn proper breathing and alignment, build confidence, add performance techniques, and have FUN while you do it! Spots are very limited.
