THE ART OF SINGING ACADEMY
Everybody can sing! Whether you're a beginner seeking to build confidence and refine vocal technique or an experienced singer preparing for performances, auditions, or recording sessions, I am here to help take your voice to the next level.
My teaching method is a step-by-step approach, starting with the basics of the musical score; it is also structured, student-centred, and outcome-oriented, focusing on achieving musical ambitions and cultivating creativity and self-expression while ensuring a disciplined and productive learning experience. Lessons are tailored to students' needs and adapted to their pace, learning style, and proficiency level by integrating proven techniques, including Accent, Estill, and Alexander, in my teaching methodology.
