TWO GREAT NEW ROCK-SINGER COURSES IN DEVELOPMENT!

We are delighted to be working with two legendary USA rock coaches, Robert Lunte of TMV (Seattle) and Kevin Richards of Rock The Stage (New York) to develop two brand-new courses for rock singers.

Details to follow, but essentially, Robert’s course, focusing on ‘bridging and connecting’ and developing ultra-strong head voice tones and ‘extreme singing’ for more advanced rock and metal vocalists, will be rooted in his Four Pillars system. Kevin’s course will have a different focus, exploring the mixed voice and a solid unpinning technqiue.

Both of these coaches have a lot to offer, and in introducing these courses - exclusive partnerships between these great teachers and VIDLA, we hope to serve all you rock singers and coaches out there!
