Roger Burnley

With over 30 years in the music business, Roger Burnley is considered an institution among recording artists worldwide.  James Tormé calls him “the best kept secret in the music industry.” Having trained many A-list recording artists, you might have also seen him as a guest expert on “American Idol” or on “I Love New York”.

Roger says, “The Vocal Instruction sessions are individually tailored to meet the singer’s needs, from beginners and novices to professionals who want to enhance their vocals or who may be experiencing vocal problems. The typical first session is 45 minutes where I will give you a complete explanation of my vocal technique and an evaluation of your particular voice and a plan for your development. The particular goals I strive to achieve with every client are to increase range and power, improve tonal quality, ensure pitch accuracy, eliminate vocal problems that could lead to injury, instill confidence and create a sense of ease in singing. Sessions are recorded to CD to enable the singer to have practice material and review the session. The typical session begins with vocal exercises and warm up, followed by a practical application of these exercises to your personal song selection. I find it extremely important for the singer to begin working on actual songs in the very first lesson. This insures that the techniques we are using will be understandable to you.”
