Philip B., Voice Teacher, Boston
(339) 368-6363
About Me:
I believe that the singing voice is an extension of the speaking voice. You have to learn to conjure the voice and wield the voice, those are the two objectives. Great singers have a supernatural sound in that it is supremely natural. I try to help the student find how their voice and music can best serve them. Music is for us.
