Testimonials

  •  

    “Thank you so much for this great class! It was insightful, clear and understandable as well as full of useful information- not only about the young voices but all singers in general. I used the puffy cheek-ba exercise with one of my students this morning and it was just what she needed! We explored it together and it was so helpful for her (and me to understand its effect and power).rdquo;

    “Thank you for this week's course. It has been excellent. You have touched on so many different things to consider not only with regards to the voice and how it works, but also how to teach which is an important part sometimes missing in private teaching. We are there to scope the next generation, and what we say can have long term effects. My understanding of how the voice grows and the changes it can go through is so much better, and I look forward to consolidating my knowledge over the next few days by reviewing my notes and your slides.”
