Singing is about much more than just opening one's mouth and making beautiful sounds. As any experienced performer knows, it takes courage and sacrifice to turn notes on a page into something convincing and moving to the audience.

Following as closely as possible the techniques discussed and taught by Manuel Garcia and Mathilde Marchesi, one of his most accomplished students and an excellent teacher in her own right, singers are taught the basics of proper breathing and support, from which all good singing originates.
