IN CLASS - STUDENT RECORDINGS
One of my great joys is to hear my students voices, and see their confidence, blossom before my eyes.
I am so happy to now be offering full recording facilities as part of regular class activities. Once a student feels confident with a song that they have spent months mastering, I offer to record them. This not only helps them to overcome performance anxiety, to hear how good they really sound, and to demystify the recording studio process, but the results can be shared with family and friends or used as a demo to get gigs.
Here are a couple of student examples recorded this year.
Here is Jan singing a lovely version of, 'Your Heart is as Black as Night' by Melody Gardot
