Getting your singing voice back into shape
by Paul Kroeger 15 Sep '20

15 Sep '20

Hello to all singers from before the pandemic. We have all taken a hit from Corona virus and I am here to suggest that as we get used to the new situation especially toward singing as a hazardous activity, you can work on your voice online with me without any concern that I will even criticize your singing. That is because I cannot hear it live properly online!! What we CAN do is talk about the things that drive us, such as our reasons for WANTING to sing. Also, there is becoming better at reading the printed page, improving our breath flow, learning that song we have never really learned. Have I jogged your memory with any of that?? Call me or reply to this email. Also, ask yourself who you know who wishes to make more of their SPEAKING voice. I can help them, too. Paul Kroeger letgo2sing(a)gmail.com or 216-741-4762 We can talk about rates and set a lesson time.
