TEACHING
Whether you're a student with a notebook of unfinished lyrics, a rock singer just starting out, or an established artist who wants to take vocals or songwriting to the next level, you're in the right place. As long as you're serious about your music, we can help. Jennifer Noci Voice Studios offers you the opportunity to sing, write and record your songs in a professional setting.
Jennifer Noci is certified in Somatic Voicework®, a unique body-based voice training program for Contemporary Commercial Music (all non-classical styles). She studied classical voice and guitar at American University in Washington, D.C. and vocal technique at Shenandoah Conservatory. Jennifer continued her education at The Guitar Institute and Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has trained with renowned musical theatre teacher James McCully, pop singer/coach Cari Cole, Director of the Voice Workshop and creator of Somatic Voicework™ Jeanie LoVetri, and vocal producer Gordon Grody, who has recorded with Cyndi Lauper, David Bowie and Sting.
SING
Having performed at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall, The Bitter End, Pete’s Candy Store and Rockwood Music Hall, to name just a few, Jennifer knows first-hand how important it is to have good, solid technique.
She utilizes the Somatic Voicework®, The LoVetri Method, a body-based method of vocal training that draws from yoga, movement, dance, acting and speech training. Somatic Voicework® allows your voice to handle a variety of tasks with greater ease and less effort.
Using simple exercises, Jennifer will help strengthen your head and chest register and get your breath and body working together. This will slowly eliminate tension in your throat, help with your break and increase your ability to sustain notes and phrases, improving your overall musical stamina.
Jennifer's technique is also a healthy and viable approach to train teenagers and children because it focuses on developing vocal registers using natural sounds and gestures.
All of Jennifer's lessons are recorded onto a CD or your phone and then you can bring it home and practice. You will also have the opportunity to develop your microphone technique and work with Jennifer on your own material, whether it's an original song or cover tune.
Whatever your genre, age or level, Jennifer will help you sing with greater strength, freedom and confidence.
WRITE
Jennifer will work one-on-one with you to create, develop and put the finishing touches on your song. Having written songs for numerous solo artists, Jennifer understands what it takes to write a great song. All you need are the basic building blocks of songwriting coupled with your own unique voice and ideas.
Let's say you have a poem you'd like to convert to a song. Or a melody that needs lyrics. Or even a finished song that just needs a killer bridge. No problem. Jennifer has helped students write songs from scratch, and has even changed one simple line, turning a good song into a great one. One thing you can count on is an honest evaluation of your work, always with respect and encouragement.
Whether it's pop, rock, country or folk, Jennifer will help you express your ideas musically and lyrically, while always preserving your own personal writing style and individual artistic expression.
