Philosophy of Teaching
Laurece assists vocalists to develop into master artists with all the necessary skills to create original and timeless art.  This process takes time!  Artists have to develop great technique, to figure out who they are (authentically) and develop the ego strength to express it their true artistic vision.   A unique style develops naturally as the student becomes technically competent and true to their authentic self. Laurece supports vocalists to develop through training in technique (ability and form) and artistry (performance, style and energy.)  Through efficient technical training and accessible methods to develop artistry  - a vocalist will develop a strong, flexible, artistically interesting and emotionally moving voice and an original sound.
