SINGING LESSONS

As a singing teacher, Cathy-Di has completed the Classical Voice Training (CVT) Course at Janice Chapman’s flagship teachers’ workshop with her multidisciplinary team focusing on the SATS (Singing and Teaching Singing) method, a “Holistic Approach” to Vocal Training.

Whilst living in Europe, Cathy-Di also co-ran the Music Association “ClassicAllMusic” in Italy, which organises the annual 10-day International Competition for Young Musicians “Luigi Zanuccoli”, hosts Masterclasses and Summer Camp programmes for local young musicians of all ages during the entire month of August in the medieval city of Santarcangelo di Romagna, and she also taught and organized advanced Masterclasses in instrumental and Vocal Studies at the Music Conservatory in Rimini, Italy throughout the year for international students.

Cathy-Di takes on students at all stages of vocal development and of all singing genres. The objective is common for all - to unlock your true sound and developing a solid technique so that singing can be enjoyed fully and become a truly pleasurable experience! The points of focus of lessons are:

• Optimal postural alignment for singing

• Efficient and natural breathing - Estill method/airflow exercises

• Correct support for the voice - abdominal wall flexibility, points of support in the body

• Efficient voice production and finding laryngeal relaxation and freedom

• Language/Diction coaching for classical singers

• Suitable repertoire selection for each individual student based on age, vocal development and vocal genre

• Industry guidance and support

• Overall vocal health
