I'm Impressed!
"Thanks for the excellent introduction to Body Mapping. I'm impressed with how you have your material and message put together. I appreciated how you wove together your presentation with opportunities for the students to try things out and then to ask voice related questions and try techniques toward the end of class. The material is so pedagogically rich.
- E. Romney, Voice Faculty and Vocal Pedagogy Instructor, Longy School of Music
Concrete Tools
"What I have found is that I now have some very simple, concrete tools to help me achieve the sounds and feelings in my practicing at home that I could in our sessions. The movements I'm learning through the Body Mapping are simple, memorable, and reliable - always there when I need them."
