About Susan
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A teacher must sing and study! As a voice teacher, it’s important to keep my voice techniques and teaching toolbox current.
I further my professional skillset through movement and voice performance study, workshops, masterclasses, voice science and pedagogy training for vocal professionals.
I maintain ongoing certification study through Estill Voice International's Model - this is a universally respected body of knowledge, developed in an academic research setting by Jo Estill, that helps singers to understand and use the voice.
