Written text such as Module 1, 2 & 3 on how to sing that is referenced from Universtiy text plus practice discs or USB’s provided to students, so the student can practice through the week whilst not at lessons as vocal home-work is given to all students
With many untrained singers certain habits are acquired that stifle the voice. Natalie engages with students to correct these habits such as straining at the throat or neck, tensing the throat and trachea area and singing through the nose, which creates a nasal vocal sound. Natalie corrects all vocal mistakes in a encouraging way so students can free up there voice to sing effectively.
Natalie teaches Jazz, Pop, Rock and any style the student wants to accomplish.
