OUR SERVICES
CVA offers further educational and performance services tailored to your individual requirements. If you are looking for something not covered below please reach out to us.
Vocal Tuition
Focusing predominantly on the mechanics of the voice and vocal technique, lessons are an exploration of your personal vocal potential. In these, you will explore repertoire that is suitable to your individual voice. You will also explore language and performance techniques that go hand in hand with the art of singing.
Our individual sessions focus on perfecting the musical performance of any pieces you would like to perform. Our team of highly skilled coaches will help you to explore the history and musicality behind the piece you are exploring, allowing you time to sing through with an expert accompaniment.
Music Theory
We offer classroom-based tuition taught over a series of weekly lessons. This is particularly aimed at anyone who is taking the ABRSM grade exams, whether studying through us or externally. We use the new Discovering Music Theory workbooks launched in Oct 2020 to complement the ABRSM's new online exams.
We will support you as you learn all the details needed to progress in your instrument.
Additional one-to-one sessions are available for students requiring more focused tuition in specific areas. All levels of tuition are available from beginner through to Grade 8. Lessons are available online.
Sight Reading & Aural
Our sight reading and aural training demystifies the art of performing a piece from sight.
Also allows training in aural for any grade exams coming up
ACCOMPANIST SERVICES
Our special piano accompanists cover all styles of performance or accompaniment. Whether you are looking for an organist for your wedding, a solo pianist for a concert, or an accompaniment for an exam, our pianists are here to help.
Please contact us for more information.
Keyboard Skills
Our keyboard skills class is designed specifically for singers who struggle with their piano skills. In this course, we will get you to a point of being able to "notebash" through your music and help you to understand harmony and music theory through the keyboard.
This will enhance your vocal performance and give you a greater appreciation for the music you are performing.
