THE MAKING OF MUSICALS

What are Vocals B K Lee students up to?

Bo Hahn, a local singer songwriter asked me if I would be the first one to sing the songs for a new musical he created called "Darryl." I got my vocal students involved in the project & this was Bo's response.

"To date you have been fabulous. Your contribution with the students helped us to visualize where we were going with the music. It really helped."

Our recordings are helping Bo & his band make the backing tracks & give examples to theater groups who will produce this fabulous musical masterpiece. Stay tuned for more!!

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS

SHERIDAN IN ACTION

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY STUDENT SHERIDAN DURANT for her incredibly exciting performances in her recent American tour with Paul Green Rock Academy and Jon Anderson, lead singer of "YES".

Sheridan is no stranger to the professional stage. Four years ago, her Cinderella dreams came true when her favorite band, Dillinger's Escape Plan, posted this message on Facebook after viewing a video of her band that went viral: "Can someone please be so kind & track down the singer so we can get in touch with her and bring her on stage at one of the NYC shows? They found her, she performed and she and her parents are still in amazement to this day.

Sheridan has just been accepted to Berklee College of Music. CONGRATULATION!

You can follow Sheridan's amazing musical journey on Social Media and buy her original music tracks on Bandcamp.com.

STUDENT REVIEWS

Emma Cort, Musical Theater major, NYU

I have been taking lessons from Brenda for about a year and I have enjoyed it so much! She is an excellent singer and teacher. I have learned many vocal techniques such as proper breathing and vowel placement in the mouth, that no other voice instructor has taught me in the past. She is very knowledgeable. She also is a singer who can sing a variety of styles, so it doesn't matter what kind of singer you are. She is also excellent at performing and has tremendously helped me with my performing skills. Brenda is an amazing voice teacher that I would recommend to anyone who wants to be serious singer, or just wants to sing for fun! Brenda is also easy to contact in case you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson at last minute.

Bryan Bounds, Creator & Head of Neuro Acting

Besides being an incredible blues singer, Brenda showed an amazing depth of knowledge as a vocal teacher as she trained both my son (an 11-year old preparing for a professional audition, which she helped him to win) and myself, a professional actor getting back into musical theatre. Brenda recommended excellent study materials and offered some of her own. Highly recommended.
