When I was a singer, my voice teacher’s goal was to make me NOT need him. He wanted me to own my technique and be able to use it independently of him. Now that’s my goal for you. I teach by doing, I teach by observing, and I teach by viewing. In my classes you do specially designed exercises (you’ve seen some of them in my books!), and those same exercises are repeated by your classmates so that you can see them challenge themselves. Finally, I play specially selected clips so you can see how the pros do it. That’s it: Do (nothing like it); Watch (and dissect or imitate if appropriate); View (and learn from the masters).
