[nabs-l] voice lessons

[Carly Mihalakis via nabs-l]

Good morning, Kelsey,

         I don't know if I have responded to this yet, but perhaps, 
by having a group presentation of voice lessons, the teacher aims to 
instruct particular postures for maximizing projection of the voice, 
maybe certain ways of moving your lips for clear e nun cee ation of 
words? As far as I can see, that's about an only practical way one 
could hold a"group" choir class. Tell us if I'm wrong. Good luck, Kelsey!
