Acappella Singing
I began running Acappella singing workshops in 1996 following years of training and working as an Alexander Technique teacher, and simultaneously working with inspiring singing teachers such as Frankie Armstrong, Isay Barnwell, Barbara Swetina, Grisha Coleman. Organically this work has developed and grown to become a variety of choirs and singing events for all ages. I am a member of the Natural Voice Practitioner's Network (NVPN).
