Microphones are introduced during the Course and Mike Technique. During courses each class member is encouraged to sing in Small Groups, Duets and Individually. There is no pressure to Perform, but finding and hearing your own voice is encouraged. The Classes are not competitive, but friendly and relaxed.Critique and Individual guidance is offered.

It is not possible to give the same level of attention in classes, as in Private Tuition, but guidance and tips and re-enforcement of technique and confidence is offered to all.
