LA Vocal Studio is a new, interfaith Christian vocal studio founded by Linda Auziņa. Here music lovers of different ages from different countries, cities and congregations come to improve. The vision of the studio is a strong generation of worshipers and Christian vocalists who, through the sounds of music, bring the good news in this country and beyond. We believe that words have power, so the content of songs and music carries true, Christian and societal values. As the range of classes is constantly improved, you can also learn piano playing, learn in a certified solfeggio program and take stage movement classes in this studio. We hold individual lessons in Latvian, Russian and English - thus opening opportunities for foreign students and representatives of national minorities staying here in Latvia to achieve their goals.

SINGING
- For singers with little experience or no prior knowledge (as well as those who want to strengthen the basics), we offer a basic singing course (group lessons will take place once a week), in which you will gradually, step by step, be introduced to basic terms and aspects of vocal art.
- For independent, everyday practicing singers with a lot of experience and those who like challenges, we offer VOCAL ADVANCED group lessons 1x a week - improvisation, vocal runs, harmonization, stylistics, etc.
- Individual singing lessons take place once a week, in which the repertoire and direction of activity are adjusted according to the student's wishes and interests. In the singing lessons, increased attention is paid to the vocalist's breathing, the health of the vocal apparatus, the development of intonation, diction and many other technical aspects, and artistic performance. Students who choose this program will also have the opportunity to attend vocal group classes.
PIANO PLAYING
Piano playing - individual lessons 1x a week - personal approach to the student's wishes and interests, regardless of previous experience and level of preparation.
MUSIC THEORY
Music theory (solfeggio) is a group lesson that takes place once a week, and it purposefully acquires the subject matter in order to improve the knowledge, which students will then be able to apply independently. This is a 2-year course, upon completion of which the student will obtain a state-certified diploma, which can then be used in the labor market and CV. There are 2 courses in music theory - 1. with prior knowledge, 2. - without prior knowledge.
