Why is your method better?

My method of singing gets right to the point of how to sing. My approach is holistic. It’s beyond just mechanics. It’s the Gestalt of knowing you are an instrument, your brain your body your mind are all integrated. I’m not just teaching singing. I’m teaching you to be a singer and that is why I create singers. I make you understand what it is to be in the moment of singing. Of course Understanding the physics of where sound is produced helping you sing in the most resonant placement, breathe and sing on your breath while incorporating proper support, I give YOU the tools to take with you so that you Can Sing with ease and beauty. It’s teaching you to be a singer and instrument and you become instrument of Life and truly live and share your gifts with the world.

How did you figure out your method?

It DID NOT happen overnight!  With 20 years teaching and performing experience in addition to my education in music pedagogy and performance, I developed a unique ability to take apart technical vocal issues and then fine tune the instruction to the student’s individual vocal needs.  I teach vocal technique much like I taught my special needs son with Autism.  Taking apart an individual concept into twenty (20), or more steps if necessary, to help him master an individual concept or skill.  In the process, I developed a unique ability to instantly diagnose and see exactly what a singer is doing incorrectly. I can morph myself into reproducing the incorrect sound and employ my technical expertise to instantly correct it, thus providing real-time vocal analysis and instruction on correct technique. This honed ability is the essence of the Acapelladiva Method.

I have nodules. Will I ever sing again?

Nodules can be caused from a combination of factors. I found that shallow, incorrect breathing causes a lack of support and results in acid reflux. This condition is exacerbated by increased stress from negative unconscious thinking.  This in turn starts to effect the strength and health of your vocal chords. Once one masters correct breathing, abdominal support, proper placement of tone, and mental calmness, the voice is free and supported with ease, relieving the stress on your vocal cords. This will allow your nodules to heal.  The videos on breathing and conscious thought will create an environment that allows you to heal. Once your nodules have healed, you will now be able to sing (again).
