camila rodriguez
Camila has been singing before she could talk. Her musical journey began at the age of 5, taking voice lessons in classical technique, and eventually going on to complete the RCM grade 6 classical voice exam. As soon as she was old enough to take part in school musicals, she began to grow a deep and profound love for theatre. When Camila made the move to London, she quickly joined the Original Kids Theatre Company and her performing experience began to flourish. The role she is most proud of was getting to play Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera at the Grand Theatre for their infamous High School Project. During her last year of secondary school, she had the privilege of being a part of H.B. Beal's Musical Theatre Program, resulting in a musical in which she got to play Medda Larkin in Disney's Newsies. Aside from her extensive musical theatre resume, she has successfully completed up to level 8 Conservatory Canada, winning the Medal of Excellence in Contemporary Idioms, achieving the highest exam grade in Ontario. Camila ended her high school career with a bang, competing in the Ontario Music Festival, bringing home the 1st place award in Senior Musical Theatre at the provincial level. This year, Camila continues to pursue and grow her musical passions as she starts her academic journey at Western University majoring in Popular Music Studies.
What Are Your Rates?
We've learned that every music teacher is different, and each has different skills. Some have Masters degrees, while others are still students themselves. For this reason, we've given the teachers the ability to set their own rates when they are hired based on their skills. The rate for voice lessons start at $26.00 for a 30 minute lesson.
Is 30 Minutes Enough?
For beginners the answer is definitely yes. When you are first learning, you're getting a lot of new, and in some cases, confusing information given to you. The amount of information given in one 30 minute lesson will give you a lot to work on as you practice throughout the week. Practicing is absolutely essential to learning music. As you get to more advanced skills, more time may be necessary if and when your teacher recommends it.
How Long Will It Take To Learn?
We get asked this question a lot. There is no specific date, or number of lessons. It depends on a few things including how often students practice. Although the songs may be very simple, we know we can have students playing at least one short song within 30 days. If you are hoping to play Mozart, it will take more time. But anyone can do it if they want it enough or work hard enough.
What Else Do I Need To Play?
It is recommended that you download any free keyboard app for smartphone or tablet, if you don't already have a piano or keyboard, which will help the singer to find their pitch when they practice. If desired, microphones, stands and other accessories are available. Also, as you progress, you will need new, more advanced method books so that you can continue to learn new songs and new techniques. We stock the basics to make sure every student has what they need to play, but other items can be specially ordered for you if needed or desired. For more information on product availability, please ask our administrative staff.
