"The music theory for singers sessions have been a game-changer for me. I used to rely solely on my ear, but learning to read music and understand harmony has opened up so many new possibilities. It makes learning complex pieces much faster and allows me to communicate better with accompanists. It's a fantastic complement to the vocal technique training."
