Pauline studied with Seth Riggs Speech Level Singing International Organization Level 5 IMT Master Teachers Shelly Franklin and Wendy Parr between 2001-2008, and completed three years of the SLS teacher training program, which included regular weekend teacher training events and continuing education conferences taught by Seth Riggs and the other SLS IMT Master Teachers.
Mr. Riggs is an internationally renowned teacher, whose clients include a long list of musical stars including 120 Grammy winners.
Pauline teaches a vocal technique that helps singers learn how to move smoothly through the bridges or “breaks” that naturally occur in the voice, by getting the body in balance, vocalizing with pure vowels and keeping the larynx in a relaxed position. A lesson typically consists of 15-20 minutes of vocal exercises and 10-15 minutes of song application. You will receive an mp3 recording of each lesson, to help you to practice between lessons.
