Tutoring Experience:

Have taught privately for three years now - from age 10 to 80.

Tutoring Approach:

The basics of all singing are breathing, scales and arpeggios and knowing your vocal range and how to use head voice and chest voice etc… once a pupil has mastered they are then encouraged to find their own style.
