Throga’s singing courses, “The Vocal Gym“, “The Vocal Gym: Advanced“, and “The Vocal Gym: Homeschool,” all utilize a patented science-based technique known as the 7 Dimensions of Singing. Whether they are a beginner or professional singer, students are guided through vocal lessons and unique exercises developed by a team of experienced educators and musicians, including its founder, the renowned vocal coach and three-time Guinness World Record holder, Richard Fink IV.
Starting with a personal vocal assessment, the courses’ extensive range of interactive lessons, exercises, and activities are tailored to the specific needs of each student. The courses lead them through breath control, pitch control, tone development, word articulation, and vocal range expansion—at their own pace and in their preferred environment. This innovative online singing program includes online forums, live masterclasses, and performance events with fellow singers providing a supportive and motivating environment for students to explore their vocal talents, build confidence and unleash their creative potential.
The Homeschool Edition is designed to provide everything students ages 12+ need to hone their vocal skills in the homeschooling environment. Along with technique and confidence, students can earn a Fine Arts credit through the course. The course utilizes the highest U.S. state standards for classroom artistic processes and Bloom’s taxonomies integrated throughout the curriculum. The homeschool course also comes with a Parent Portal and Homeschool Toolbox, which allows the parent to monitor their child’s progress and number of hours logged, guide the parent through course assignments and quiz keys, and provide the documentation needed to help their child earn a Carnegie credit in the Fine Arts or as an elective.
All three versions of The Vocal Gym use a comprehensive, personalized approach to vocal training, which is what makes these courses unique and effective for every individual student.
