My focus is detailed oriented in terms of technique. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate in singing, I can guide you through your singing journey. I teach students from 9 years old and above because that's when I can talk about singing technique or at least give them an example so they can imitate. On my lesson, I often ask my students how they feel after singing a phrase or several notes so they can develop sensitivity towards their own body when they sing. Eventually, they should be able to know and feel which sounds and feel right. In conclusion, I teach the development of healthy vocal technique, musicality, and performing aspect (if the students are interested in performing).
