Curriculum & Course Reviews | Online Singing Program

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.

I started out training with Throga not understanding how to use my voice to create music.. He believes that anyone can learn to sing, and i am living proof. We would start our classes with the vocal gym and finish them with singing. The vocal gym exercises, were fun and always changing. Like a gym, i started seeing improvement in a few months. He focused on different aspects of the vocal ability; Range, strength, accuracy of pitch were a few of them that i’m paraphrasing here. I find myself humming the exercises as i commute to open up my voice even when readying to speak to different folks or when i lose my voice at a loud bar. It’s really quite profound that i lose my voice at a bar, and can re invigorate it by doing the exercises which release the swollen vocal cords. Richard has done his research and is committed to helping people discover their true voice and capabilities. I think it would be highly beneficial to give his book and online course a try. And if one has the resources, his personal sessions are outstanding.

Throga is truly wonderful! This review is long overdue, and it's so important to share our powerful experience with Throga, Richard Fink IV, Johnny Cummings, Sam Polizzi, and the rest of the team! Our daughter attended the Throga music retreat at the age of 8, and she walked away with loving memories, as well as practical and critical tools that are still part of her vocal routine today. She also collaborated with Johnny and Sam, utilizing the Throga platform when writing, recording, and releasing three original songs that were dedicated to kids and teens who struggle with their emotions. Throga has a huge place in our hearts and we highly recommend exploring their menu and learning from Richard and the talented team.

My daughter began taking private lessons with Richard in the Spring of 2018. We have seen her develop her voice immensely. She has since competed in her school and has placed in top spots in choir. She is excited to continue her vocal coaching with Richard for years to come. Thank you Richard!!

Working with Richard has been fun, engaging, thought-provoking and overall, extremely rewarding. Every singer has different strengths and weaknesses, and one of Richards strengths as a teacher is pinpointing the areas that need the most attention, and tackling them head on. The exercises are challenging while still being enjoyable. I cannot recommend Richard as a teacher enough!

Simply stated, Richard is the best at conveying concepts that most instructors fail miserably at. No matter your level, or reason for exploring more of your natural instrument, you owe yourself the favor of checking out the Vocal Gym.
