Welcome to Singing Tips With Barbara Lewis!
Play a sample from one of my best selling songs: "Once In A Blue Moon", "Love", and "Lullaby For A Deep Sleep:"
My dream to become a singer began in earnest at the age of 7, when I won a singing contest in a local playground. I imagined myself singing to 1000's of people that night, though it was likely closer to an audience of 100. Since that time, music and singing have been at the centre of my life. I've been a professional singer, songwriter and stage performer for nearly 30 years. “Freedom, love, dreams – they may be lofty ideas, but singer/songwriter, Barbara Lewis uses them as inspiration to produce concrete results. She has managed to turn her passion for music and exploring new possibilities into an international career.” - Canada’s Dept. of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Very early in my singing career, I realized that I also had a strong interest in teaching singing.
And over the years, I have taken great pleasure in being a singing teacher. Lessons in singing can be like an exploration into life itself. I find that every singer I teach gives me greater insight into how music can unlock our creative powers. Online Video Lessons Right now, I teach in the city of Montreal. But I am also beginning to give online singing lessons using video and Skype.
If you would like to have lessons with me but you do not live in Montreal, please be in touch with me through this site's contact page:

I teach singers who have a wide variety of interests and backgrounds. Some of my students are very young (early teens). Some are in their 20's or 30's - still working towards finding their niche in the singing world. Others are well-established professionals who take lessons to keep their voices in shape as they record or tour.
"Barbara's vocal teachings head straight to the heart. Although her vast technical knowledge and ability is impressive, it is her role as a mystical navigator that brought me to the place that I had been seeking vocally." - Valerey J. Lavergne, jazz singer/writer My students' interests lie in various musical styles: pop, R&B, Broadway, rock, songwriting and those who want to go the classical route. My studio has two separate rooms - an acoustic room for the technical part of the lesson and a higher-tech room with a sound system where we also record. Lessons can include: • Vocal technique & tune Ups - short (or long) term lessons to enhance technique • Audition Preparation - choosing and preparing audition material • Voice and Performance Evaluations - first and second opinions on vocal ability & written or verbal reports on performances. • Career Focussing - helping artists to get focussed • Portfolio Preparation - business cards, brochures, starter Web sites • Pre-production Planning for first Recording Projects "Freedom, love, dreams - they may be lofty ideas, but singer/songwriter Barbara Lewis uses them as inspiration to produce concrete results. She has managed to turn her passion for music into an international career." - Foreign Affairs & International Trade, Canada The Music Of Barbara Lewis Most of my students want to know more about the music I have written. I write in two main styles: classic new world fusion and theatrical songs for the shows I do on stage in the theatre.
Here's a video of a song from one of my new-world-fusion style shows called, "Hara's Quest." The song titled, "Body," is about a woman who travels to Indonesia in search of the answer to a mysterious dream. In this song, she has a deep body massage that brings her closer to understanding and loving her body. Barbara Lewis sings "Body" from Hara's Quest I also create music that blends talk (rap) and singing. Here's another video - a song about hotel life in Gotham City (New York City).
While this site - Singing-Tips-With-Barbara-Lewis.com - is all about how to become a singer, I also have a site for my own music that contains video, audio, music clips, and personal stories about teaching, songwriting and singing. Please visit my artist web site and explore more deeply the exciting world of singing.
