Vocal Program

Students who wish to develop their vocal ability – this is the right place! With highly experienced vocal coaches as part of the TDC teaching faculty, we offer tailored tuition to develop confidence, technique and range in vocal capabilities.

AMEB Exams:

AMEB (Australian Music Examination Board) Singing Exams are open to students aged 10 years and older as of 2018, upon our recommendation. Exams can provide clearly defined goal posts that can be a powerful motivating force. They encourage the development of a broader range of skills by challenging students to demonstrate skills such as sight reading, technical execution, aural recognition and general knowledge. In addition to providing valuable performance experience, every candidate that completes an exam receives a personal written report from their examiner. This opportunity to receive constructive, external feedback can highlight areas of strength and weakness under performance conditions to help guide students in their development. Upon completion of each grade level, students receive an official certificate recognising their achievement. AMEB’s qualifications provide a national benchmark and are recognised across Australia and internationally.

Vocal Faculty:

Under the guidance of vocal coaches Alice Batt, Lauren Ferriera and Shevaun Pope, we apply proven techniques to nurture student's passion for singing, closely monitor progress and develop their skills, confidence and self-esteem.

Testimonials

“Miss Kiane O’Farrell has taught my daughter many musical theatre skills in auditioning and stagecraft! For years my daughter has had vocal classes with a variety of teachers. Despite being able to hold a tune and sing well, she has never been taught to actually perform on stage or connect with the audience. Miss Kiane is the GURU when it comes to performing on stage. And my daughter certainly has developed at a rate of knots this year!!! Kiane is not one for teaching “sitting down in a studio”, she’s up and active during the whole lesson... there’s no taking it easy or playing on "iphones" in class. We are forever grateful to Kiane and TDC for finding time for us!” – Kylie Pope. Students: Kate and Shevaun.
