  • These are excellent warm ups! Have you written any books? I find your approach so logical and the method is beautiful. I'd love to know more - if you haven't written any books, what do you recommend for a teacher starting out? Cheers.

  • @StaroftheSeaMandala - I haven't written any books. After teaching for a while, I'm attending graduate school at Florida State University now. If your looking for a sight-singing method, Masterworks press is a good one. If you have any more questions, I can't make you any promises about having answers but will do my best! Thanks!

  • and I just loved the fergie lol. I wish I could have a vocal teacher like you at my junior college! Did you teach at a conservatory?

  • when the beat boxing started i totally lawled lol.

  • Very fine. The students have bought into what you are doing. The solf. takes time to implement but will pay off big. Tonal center, open vowels...all types of big rewards..keep going.

  • You are really really good. I am a music education major and I am really impressed by this video!!!!! u look like such a happy & passionate teacher and I can tell u r trying 2 make the class FUNNNN!!! and u did a great job!!!! yayyyyyyy!!!! hope I can do as good as u when I do my student teaching!!!
