KNOWLEDGE Is Power

Singing is not about your VOICE. It is about how you USE your voice. Everyone can learn how to USE his or her voice. This knowledge is simple to acquire, and it is fun to learn. It is KNOWLEDGE that will set your voice free to sing what is in your heart!

KNOWLEDGE gives you relaxation and confidence. It allows you to express yourself fully. KNOWLEDGE allows you to be the human being that you really are, without feeling tempted to imitate another person.

The KNOWLEDGE that the gift of singing is within you that awakens your singing instinct– You will find yourself opening up with a little song as you go about your daily routine, driving down the road, washing the dishes, taking the family dog out for a walk, and so forth.

I find that when I am feeling out of sorts just singing a little song will set me right much better than any pills or medicine would do. So I ask you– Why have you let yourself be deprived of such a wonderful gift??


Come with us and sing the story that lives within your heart.

Weak Bodies, Strong Voices

Think of the people that you have known throughout your life. Have you ever seen a person who was able to fill a space the size of a large auditorium with the clear and unmistakable sound of his or her voice? A person who could produce his or her voice in that fashion for hours at a time, day after day, without having the voice give out or become damaged in any way?

I'll tell you exactly where to find such a person: Remember the last time you heard a baby crying in the middle of a church ceremony... What a powerful voice!

Were you surprised to find out who it was?

If that doesn’t convince you that true VOCAL FREEDOM is completely natural and absolutely accessible to every human being, even the weakest among us, then I don’t know what will.

There are a great many false teachers in the world of singing who would have you believe that the proper use of the voice and great singing are a matter of physique and physical training, what with “breathing exercises” and “vocal warm-ups” and so forth. Nothing could be further from the truth. While I have discussed the errors of physical singing elsewhere on this website, here and now I would like to introduce you to the wonderful truth that the gift of singing is a gift of the mind and spirit, and not of the body.

Four (4) Things Which Are NOT Vocal Freedom:

Every student who studies with myself and Edwin Williamson at the Bel Canto House School of Singing is working to achieve the same goal: to be able to sing with true VOCAL FREEDOM.

What VOCAL FREEDOM is not:

To truly understand what VOCAL FREEDOM is, it is first important to be aware of what the singer with VOCAL FREEDOM is not doing:

1. VOCAL FREEDOM means the singer is not forcing his or her voice to make any particular sound that is not naturally occurring.


2. VOCAL FREEDOM means the singer is not mimicking or imitating anyone else’s voice or disguising the sound of his or her true and natural voice that is uniquely his or her own.


3. VOCAL FREEDOM means the singer is not pushing the voice in the hope that blasting volume will make up for lack of facility as a singer.


4. VOCAL FREEDOM means the singer is not approaching the task of singing in a mechanical or athletic way that prevents him or her from expressing the true art and the authentically unique and individual gift inside.
