 Applying traditional vocal technique to pop, rock or r&b can be
especially challenging to the singer. Many students know how to
“sing correctly” in a lesson but are unable to apply it when singing
in the studio or with a band. Dana Calitri's students are taught the
foundations of healthy technique and how to protect their voices
while preserving their own distinctive sound.
