Hi Susi,
Yes my regular teacher knows this. I even lent her my video of last years
summer school masterclass sessions, as I thought she might like to see how
another voice teacher works. I don't think she even bothered to view it
though. My experience has taught me that different teachers work in
different ways, and some are able to evoke quite a different voice quality
within the space of a single lesson. The hardest thing though, is to
re-create that sound afterwards and to make it my own. I suppose that is why
it takes years to learn.
I will take your warnings seriously though.
At the end of the day, my regular teacher is convinced that I have a
potential high 'C' and I want to acquire a secure and sustainable high
range, in not too many years.
