Welcome!

We believe:

  • Improvement comes from a long term commitment to building slowly upon a strong foundation of musical fundamentals.
  • Musical fundamentals are heirarchal, and trying to take  shortcuts only leads to short-term fixes, not long term gains - there are no magic bullets.
  • Improvements in fundamental areas inevitably generate  improvements in areas further down the line.
  • The most important thing we can do as teachers and coaches for  the groups we work with is to communicate clearly with each other and provide a  unified front, which will lead to a consistent message.
  • Every singer and group should leave a coaching session with  ONE individual and ONE ensemble area of focus for improvement for the next session, and that area of focus is not to be changed until a sustainable quality  improvement is attained.
