For vocal lessons, Tim uses the Passaggio technique, essentially the same as as Seth Riggs’ Speech-Level Singing, which he studied intensively for four years. Students learn to discover and blend their different areas of resonance and to relax the musculature of the throat, particularly the larynx, to avoid “pulling up” to high notes or “pushing down” for low notes. Singers learn to float or open up and increase their range, sound better, use less effort, and eliminate potentially debilitating habits. Proper vocal technique can be applied to any style of singing or speech.

Tim also coaches for specific performances or recordings. He teaches harmony singing and “ear-training” which improves ones ability to respond to a style, melody, and harmony within a harmonic (chordal) structure.
