Classical Singing

I am a strong believer that all singing is based on a good, strong breathing technique. Once you understand how to harness your breath and use it to aid your voice, the possibilities are endless.

Getting to grips with how various parts of your body (such as Diaphragm and Lungs) work to support your voice will provide you with the necessary knowledge to help you with your singing throughout your musical exploration. 

There are several books which can help explain good breathing exercises in addition to your lessons. A particular favourite is the Vocalarts workbook and DVD by David Carey and Rebecca Clark Carey.
