Harold said: Christopher is a talented and engaging teacher, and he transformed a bunch of us from non-singers to choir-ready singers within a few short weeks. His teaching style is informal and entertaining, and I found the course really interesting, with constant encouragement for us to do our best.

Helen said: I enjoyed this class immensely. I have gained valuable knowledge about the pharynx, breathing and the correct way to enunciate words and produce sound. The teacher was friendly and meticulous in coaching each student individually. I’ve gained a great deal of confidence singing on my own in front of others and I appreciate getting to know my own voice.

Helen said: I enjoyed learning about vocal technique and correct use of vocal muscles. I learned to be aware of the details that are required to produce a resonant, clear and even sound when singing. The instructor was most encouraging and entertaining and I wish there was a continuing class, as I am motivated to learn more.
