Janine Elf - Music Coach & Teacher
I love teaching and believe that it is much easier for people to learn when they can copy or emulate a teacher who does what they teach. Most of my students love to have me sing with them until they are ready to sing on their own. Singing comes from the heart, and is often scary for people (a little like being undressed in public). The goal is to respect that and create an envirment of discovery and fun. For those who want to be challenged, I am game! It is a little like cheap therapy, you come to learn to sing or speak and go away feeling lighter and more joyful, along with more skill.
