Voices of Colour Music offers a personalized approach to music study and performance. Under director Denise Williams, the studio offers lessons in voice, piano, theory, improv and songwriting, as well as early childhood music. We teach all classical to contemporary styles including opera, art song, music theatre, folk, gospel, jazz, etc., and provide preparation for exams, festivals, auditions, concerts and other performance opportunities. Beginner or advanced, amateur or professional, classical or contemporary, we strive to hone each student’s own natural vocal or instrumental colour and style through individually tailored studies which promote singing or playing with ease and freedom. We also understand how the psyche can get in the way and strive to channel the psycho-emotional path to successful performing.
