About Me:
With singing, we utilize this approach: technique that follows in this order: body stretching, breathing, diction, range and pitch building and repertoire, where we focus on perfecting songs and working on stage presence, eliminating stage fright and creating personality. For the piano and drums, we start with scales and theory, which helps to build performance.

Vibrato adds richness to the tone. Faster vibratos are possible without perceived "damage" to the note as the frequency of the note increases; slow vibrato is necessary for low frequencies in order to allow the full waveform to propagate before altering its frequency.
