However that does not mean that I try to turn all my students into opera singers. The truth is you can utilize the classical technique in any genre of music. Trust me it will make a difference in your singing. I would be happy to discuss my methods in more detail. Thank you. *** Studio Equipment *** Office and studio space with seating for parents. He has Dogs. *** Travel Equipment *** Its helpful if the student possesses a keyboard or piano but if not i can provide one. *** Specialties *** I have been both an opera/musical theater performer as well as a pop musician so I feel I am extremely well versed in many performance styles and how to teach them.
