About Barbara Lewis

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.

Singing Coach

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.

HERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO APPROACH SINGING LESSONS:

1. Private In-person Lessons

If you decide you would like to have a lesson with me in Montreal, Canada (May through Nov.), or Cancun, Mexico (Dec. through April), please be in touch with me through this site's contact page.

2. Online Singing Lessons

If you live in some other part of the world, I also offer singing lesson online using Skype video. Look here for a thorough explanation of online singing lessons.

3. Ask Your Questions! - Consultation
You may not be ready to take an online or private lesson. Often, what we singers need is an to opportunity to ask a few questions about our voices and explain our hopes and dreams about singing to someone who has been there...
For those people, I offer consultations (online using Skype or on the phone) - 15 or 30-minute segments - during which time you can ask questions about your voice or even sing a little bit for me. Tell me about what you hope to do with your singing and what songs your are choosing..etc.

This is a great way to get some quick feedback about your voice. And to determine if I am the right person to work with you at some future time.

Finally... More About Lessons & Coaching!
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.

Watch a short lesson with one of my more advanced young vocal students - Cherylyn Toca.

Still others are older singers who are just beginning to live their dream to sing. Or they are coming back to singing after many years away. See Singing After Forty.)

And some are well-established professionals who take lessons to keep their voices in shape as they record or tour.

My students' interests lie in various musical styles: pop, R&B, Broadway, rock, songwriting and those who want to go the classical route.

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

NOTE: I also teach at LAMBDA, a wonderful school of music and fine arts located near Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Read more about this unique little university of the arts here: Lambda - School of Music and Fine Arts

The Music Of Barbara Lewis
Most of my students want to know more about the music I have written. Here's a video of a song from one of my shows called, "Hara's Quest." Played often on Bravo Television, the song titled, "Body," is about a woman who has a deep body massage that brings her closer to understanding and loving her own body:
