Katti's Beliefs On Singing
• LEARN MORE THAN ONE TECHNIQUE - So many voice teachers only teach classical vocal technique leaving singers to fend for themselves when trying to sing other styles of music. Some teachers only teach contemporary styles of singing and singers usually lose their voices quickly because there is no foundational base for what they are teaching. No matter what genre of music you prefer to sing, it will take learning multiple vocal techniques in order to be able to sing well and stay healthy.
• IT IS POSSIBLE TO SING WITHOUT LOSING THE VOICE - Vocal health should be a primary concern to all singers. Practicing good vocal health will keep singers from losing their voices, even after hours of singing.
• SINGING ABILITY IS A LEARNED TALENT - Great singers become great from time and energy invested in mastering their craft. If you don’t believe you have the gift of a voice, it is okay because you can still develop a talent for singing through studying with an instructor. No matter whether you have a gift of a beautiful voice or not, technique is the only way the voice can develop into something long-lasting, versatile, and career-worthy.
• ANYONE CAN SING - I have taught people to sing that called themselves tone-deaf before studying voice with me. The truth is that anyone with an ability to listen well and a willingness to practice can learn to sing. Anyone.
• ANY AGE CAN LEARN TO SING - People ask me all the time how young I start students in lessons or how old students can be. Let's start with the younger end. Many teachers will not teach young kids (under 16 years old) because they believe the voice is not fully developed. While this may be true, any child that expresses interest in learning to sing is going to experiment on her own. I can't tell you how many young kids have come to me with already damaged voices because a teacher said they weren't old enough to take lessons. If the child can read and has the ability to stay focused for 50 minutes, it is wise to register the child for lessons before any damage is done. As for the other end of the age spectrum, as long as the capacity for hearing is intact, it is possible to learn to sing. Powell Method Singers have ranged in age from 3 - 75.
