All singing is based upon the same foundations – the motor (breath), the source of sound (vocal cords), and the resonance. There is no ‘right or wrong way’. Rather, I need to teach the method that creates the sound the singer desires.
From 2024, I will be an Artist in Residence at The Piano in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Several years ago, it was only but a dream to have my own music school.
From 2024, I will be leasing studio 11 where I will be teaching singing (contemporary to classical, all levels) as well as guitar for singers, songwriting, and theory until grade five.
My specialty is the old Italian style of singing and its importance to ALL singing.
I am a classical singer and guitarist.
I have created a project called 'The Lilli Lehmann Project'. The project, lasting from 2020 until 2023, aims to refresh my voice and prepare me to be a singing teacher.
The scope of the project is that I am studying Lilli Lehmann's singing book, bibliography, recordings and her reviews, as well as other historical vocal pedagogy.
I have chosen this platform in order to blog about my discoveries, demonstrate techniques and exercises, and perform pieces of music. I have done so because I wish to be transparent. I think that if a student is prepared to learn from me then I should stand up to public scrutiny.
