Dear Catherine.
I have discussed this issue with my teacher.
He doesn't believe in building head voice from falsetto.
He prefers using trills, humming exercises,etc.
He claims that falsetto can be streghtened,but it can't reach the
quality of pure head voice.He also thinks that this method is also
unsuitable for blending the registers.
What should i do?
Thanks for once more.
