What participants are saying:
“Sally finds unique ways to connect with each person. In class, for example, she asks a student to sing, then mimics his sound perfectly. Next, she explains where she has to create tension to sound like him. Finally, she explains how to escape from his holding pattern and demonstrates the amazing effect of doing so. People progress very rapidly when they receive such ultra-precise, individualized teaching. All this magic occurs in a light-hearted, unpretentious, supportive atmosphere with a lot of laughter. Few if any famous opera companies and elite conservatories can offer the quality of instruction which she offers.” Donn Forbes, former choir conductor/singing course student
“I can now sing in ranges I never believed I could reach, listening for the subtle differentiations in the relaxation of vocal muscles and facial tensions, feeling the differences throughout the body.”
Donna Genuth, former singing course participant
Having been a professional performer in L.A. for 12 years, I was doubtful of ever finding a vocal coach that would live up to my expectations. Sally’s instruction not only satisfies my desire to advance technically in singing but adds the essence and quality of the soul, which takes my experience beyond skill into expressing from my heart. Monica Lottimer, former singing course student
“Sally helped me to experience what it is like to have a free voice that is resonant and relaxed. [The course] taught me about the need to balance relaxation while singing with structure for clarity of voice and that singing is about expressing emotion from the heart.
Its a great course for learning techniques to help you to sing solo and in general. Sally is a great teacher that can demonstrate and explain what relaxed singing is all about and this is a very good course thats well worth attending time and time again” Gerald Chung, Engineer, Fisher & Paykel
"Sally helped me to realize that I could get beyond my fear and survive! What freedom. Sally has a way of seeing your potential and an uncanny method of drawing it out." Maria Marcum, former singing course student
