TEACHING STYLE

The practice of singing integrates physical, emotional and intellectual experience. Singing is also an open-ended discipline. It takes time and perseverance to master the essentials, but once this has been achieved it becomes clear that the potential for growth and deeper mastery is limitless. Like all paths to mastery, at the heart of singing practice is daily engagement with the creative and learning process. My approach to vocal technique therefore focuses on the process of singing—the activities involved in both expression and developing coordination—rather than the product—the sounds and sensations that result from these activities.
