I would like to add my thanks to everyone involved in the current discussions re nasality/nasal resonance and studying vocal performance in college. The nasality discussion has confirmed that I'm taking the right approach with some of my younger high school students. The college discussion has given me more insights into what is expected of students and teachers at this level. Due to some health problems, Phyllis Mailing has had to reduce her teaching load at the Vancouver Academy of Music, and I've been asked to take on one of her students until the end of term. This will be a sort of "audition" period for me, so I will probably be coming out of lurking status more often to ask for advice, directions, suggestions etc. Wish me luck ;o)
Cheers Craig, Burnaby BC
