Philosophy of Teaching
Each student is individually assessed and will be given exercises to work according his or her specific vocal needs.
Generally, when you speak in a comfortable manner, your outer muscles do not interfere. You can learn to maintain a tone and sing it with the same ease of producing sound when speaking, no matter of the register used.
HEALTHY SINGING is a matter of awakening our natural resonance, whether it is head, chest or body. Therefore it is most important to receive individually adapted vocal exercises based on an affirmed technique and method.
When you know how to use your voice correctly, you will be able to create powerful and yet healthy and balanced sounds, no matter the style of music you do!
