Interview with Catherine

1) How does your class look like?

We practice listening skills, note reading, vocal technique, performance training. Students can pick songs of their choice. There are tons of practice and performance opportunities.

2) Voice is something untouchable and invisible, how do you teach vocal lessons?

I use a lot metaphors to teach and guide students through their learning challenges.

3) What type of impact would you like to bring to the world?

I'd love to play a role in guiding children to express themselves, be more confident while performing. I hope to help them get life-long spiritual companionship, obtain a good taste of arts, and get closer to self-actualization by developing their vocal and piano skills.
