Your Vocal Education Hub

Live Lessons are your time to get feedback and guidance from an expert teacher, one-on-one and in real-time. Lessons include vocal exercises, voice technique, and direct work on songs for performance or recording, all tailored to your unique goals, preferences, and needs.

 Every lesson begins with a check-in—how did your practice go this week? Any questions or challenges that came up? This conversation shapes what happens next. Some lessons focus heavily on technique; others dive into song work. The balance shifts based on what you need most right now.

Your teacher guides you through vocal exercises designed for your specific development. These aren’t generic warmups—they target the exact skills you’re building. As you progress, exercises evolve to match your growing abilities.

Song work brings technique into practice. You’ll work on music you choose, with guidance on interpretation, technical execution, and performance. Your teacher might demonstrate a phrase, stop to work on a tricky section, or suggest practice strategies for the week ahead.

Consistency matters in vocal development. Weekly lessons create a rhythm of instruction and practice that builds skills steadily over time. Your teacher tracks your progress from lesson to lesson, adjusting their approach based on what’s working.

Wherever you are on your singing journey, a pro needing to brush up their stage presence, or a total newb struggling with overcoming stage fright, our low-key Online Events provide a safe place to test out your performances with a supportive group of peers. We offer Open Mic Nights (live on Zoom), Showcases (pre-recorded), and Group Classes on special topics.

Private lessons develop your skills. Events help you use those skills in front of others, which is ultimately the point for most singers. The gap between “I can sing well in my practice room” and “I can sing well for an audience” is real, and our events help you close it.

Each event type serves different needs:

Open Mic Nights are casual, low-pressure, and perfect for trying new material or building basic performance confidence.

Student Showcases let you present polished work to a wider audience, including family and friends who can tune in from anywhere.

Group Classes provide focused learning on specific topics while connecting you with other students at similar stages.

Our Learning Library helps you cultivate your body awareness, breath control, musicianship, artistry, and a healthy performance mindset. Explore warmups, exercises, practice tracks, and technique videos—all at your fingertips.

The Learning Library is a growing collection of resources created by Cardon Studios teachers. Unlike generic YouTube tutorials, these materials are designed specifically to support our students’ development.

• Vocal Warmups: Professional warmup routines for different purposes, such as general warmups, range-extending warmups, warmups before performances, and warmups for specific styles.
• Technical Exercises: Videos demonstrating exercises for breath support, resonance, pitch accuracy, vocal flexibility, and more. Each includes clear instruction and the ability to practice along.
• Style Guides: Overviews of different musical styles and the specific vocal techniques they require.
• Performance Preparation: Resources on managing nerves, preparing for auditions, and developing stage presence.
• Concept Explainers: Short videos that break down vocal concepts like: what is head voice? How does breath support actually work? What makes a belt sound different from a mix?

Your teacher will often direct you to specific Library resources as part of your Practice Plan. You can also explore on your own, finding warmups or exercises that interest you.

When Cardon Studios moved entirely online in 2020, we discovered something surprising: many aspects of vocal instruction actually work better in a digital format.

Record Every Lesson: Unlike in-person lessons where you might take notes (or forget details), every online lesson is automatically recorded. Review exactly what your teacher demonstrated, replay specific exercises, and ensure you’re practicing correctly all week long.

Practice Anywhere: Access your Practice Plan and Learning Library from any device. Practice vocal exercises during your lunch break using your phone, review lesson videos on your tablet, or work through technique demonstrations on your laptop. Your entire learning system travels with you.

Geographical Freedom: Study with expert teachers regardless of where you live. Our team serves students throughout the Washington DC Metro area and beyond, bringing high-level instruction to anyone with an internet connection.

Consistent Quality: Digital lessons eliminate variables like studio acoustics, commute stress, or sharing lesson spaces. You’re always in your own comfortable environment with consistent audio quality and the setup that works best for your voice.

Integrated Progress Tracking: Everything lives in one platform: lesson recordings, coaching submissions, assigned exercises, progress notes. No papers to lose, no external apps to juggle—just a comprehensive system designed specifically for your vocal development.
