SINGING and VOICEWORK:
I
teach from a very broad base of vocal experience; sessions
include breathing, body awareness & relaxation, technique,
voice production & projection, articulation & clarity of
expression, ear training, improvisation, free expression,
confidence building, general musicianship and singing exercises
to develop flexibility and power.
I can suggest songs to sing or
bring your own. Anyone can learn to sing & use their voice

committed.
