Hello COVID!

In the midst of all this COVID madness, online lessons with my students have been going on since 19 March. Sadly my studio hasn’t seen the light of day since then.
Many were initially worried about doing lessons online, but I must say that I am very happily surprised at the sheer volume of vocal breakthroughs that are taking place so far during this quarantine. One of the hidden blessings that has come out of this horrific outbreak is that my students have the TIME to actually dedicate to building their voices.
There has thus been the unexpected benefit of a great many singers demonstrating more improvement in their singing technique in the past few weeks. I am so happy that everyone is working so hard and it is my intention that post COVID, all of them will emerge with voices that are exponentially stronger, more beautiful and more resilient.
I commend them for their great diligence and dedication to their singing during these trying times. Well done! Bravi! Let’s do this!

She went on to be part of the group FAITH (Five Are In The House) and made it to the finals on 8 February.
