Vocal Technique: the teaching method
The vocal technique is Bel Canto for
beautiful singing and perfect resonance.
Rita’s teaching philosophy is “Your vocal wisdom”.
She believes in transparency between the tutor and the student, with constant feedback.
A positive self-encouraging attitude to trust the progress, stay patient, and remember that all
kinds of arts are a lifelong discovery.
After every lesson, the student is satisfied, passionate to know more about the voice. The class
is based on technique at first, with a fun twist and imagination.
No matter which level you might be, you will learn the theory about body and voice anatomy, ear
training, sight-singing, diction, body language, performance, audition preparation, as well as
understanding sound production and the natural way of singing.
Before beginning singing lessons, you will most likely ask a lot of questions to a vocal coach (in-person nearby, or online).
