I love teaching Jessie. Such a great kid. Today I have Miss Eloise assisting with breath control, and tongue root tension.
To outsiders, singing lessons at Dave Shannon Vocal Studios might look a bit weird. But we always have fun, while imparting great vocal technique.

Had a great time working with Lily today. 😊

I have the best job in the world. I get to work with amazing musicians, and really cool people.

Last night we finished up our 4-week group singing class at Machans Beach Hall 🎶

It was fantastic working with this amazing group of people, sharing knowledge of the voice and vocal technique 🎤

The group had the opportunity to apply these exercises and vocal eases to a song. It was incredible to see voices transform in real time ✨

With the right guidance and approach, you can sing in a way you never thought possible 🎵

A huge thank you to everyone who joined — what a wonderful class! 🙌

A singing lesson here isn’t just singing songs and hoping your voice gets better over time.
The goal of each lesson is to help your voice work better.
When your voice is working well, singing feels easier — and when singing feels easier, you sound better.
If you’d like to:
• Eliminate breaks in your voice
• Reduce strain when you sing
• Increase your vocal range
• Sing with more power and less effort
• Hit those “money notes”
It might be time to book a lesson at Dave Shannon Vocal Studios.

The voice is not strengthened the way a bicep is strengthened.
Skeletal muscles grow through load and microscopic damage.
Vocal folds function through coordination and vibration — not hypertrophy.
