Is there life after the long scale? Tricia Grey takes you into Steps 6 and 7 — balanced onset, dynamics, flexibility, vibrato and power.

Once your student is mixing, what then? Tricia Grey answers that in this hands-on session covering Steps Six and Seven of her method. You'll start with a full standing stretch and posture routine, then dig into onset — hypo-adducted, hyper-adducted and balanced — with arytenoid mechanics, silent-H staccato, laughing and skipping staccato, and a plan for weaning students off the helper sounds that got them there. A VoceVista spectrogram demo shows how onset and timbre change the harmonics above the fundamental. Then come the advanced skills: crescendo and messa di voce, flexibility runs, pulse and pitch-change vibrato, stepwise motion with vowel modification, and chromatic press-ups for power.
