Anyone
can sing,
but the most effective approach to our goal depends on the
reasons a client is not already singing: perhaps lack of practice,
lack of confidence, lack of discipline; professional rejection;
or maybe a mistaken belief that whoever told you you couldn't
sing knew what they were talking about. They didn't!
Every
student is an individual who can produce a full, natural and
individual sound. Together we find it, define it,
and improve it. I make only one guarantee to you: your progress
in the work we do together relates directly to the amount
of work you accomplish between sessions. You, and you alone,
determine at what point, and at what cost, you reach your
goals.
The
true tests for the teacher come from the students who think they
cannot sing. We all have voices. Some
are more deeply buried than others. Finding those
lost, natural singing voices becomes the task for teacher and student
together.
No
one is tone-deaf. The brain always hits the right
note, but the body sometimes doesn't. Those instructors who
accept the less proficient students analyze where the students
bodies are failing them. Through drill and programming they
correct the physical errors. The brain and body can then work
together. A non-singer finds his voice.
Voice
teachers guide. They may advise. They are not a placement
service. They don't make their students either talented or
successful. They provide an atmosphere for their students
to grow in skill, in vision and in confidence.
