What Does Our Library Contain?
The Cardon Studios Learning Library covers topics that matter most to singers of any level. From the basics of vocal health and care through advance stylistic effects, we cover all the nitty gritty of singing well and comfortably:
Vocal Health and Care
No matter where you are on your vocal journey, keeping your voice healthy and caring for it when it’s not are essential to singing well when you need to.
Easy to Follow Pathways
Pick a clearly defined Goal within the Library and follow the complete Pathway to a variety of support on that topic: Articles, Warmups, Exercises, and Videos.
Technique and Style
As you progress beyond basic vocal skills, more advanced Pathways help you explore the finer details of singing at a professional level.
Stage Presence and Theory
Leave no stone unturned as you hone your skills. Perform like a pro by focusing in on your stage presence, interpretation, and musical skill.
Practice with Purpose
Never Feel Lost or Unsure While Practicing Again
Many singers report feeling aimless while practicing alone. You’re not alone if you’ve struggled to recreate exercises or processes that were super successful in a lesson when you sit down to practice at home. It can be hard to recapture the inspiration and nuances you experienced while working with your teacher. Our Learning Library helps to smooth out the bumps in this process to get things going at home on your own.
Clear Steps to Reach Specific Goals
Our Library is broken into Vocal Pathways, clear outlines for specific goals. Simply choose and follow a Pathway for resources and steps tailored toward that goal. Some examples of Pathways include:
- Warming up for Performance: Truly prepare your whole voice
- Expanding Your Range: Sing higher safely and comfortably
- Building Power in your Voice: Create a more powerful sound
- Choosing the Right Songs for Your Voice: Match your set list to your strengths
- Recovering from Illness/Hoarseness: Heal and Protect your Voice
Progress can be easy and consistent with the right tools. Our Learning Library was designed just for you to optimize your growth. Let’s see how far you can go with support in your corner!
