Dan Evans runs through his coaching styles and techniques...

Dan Evans experienced singing coach and tutor talks us through his styles and techniques for the Voice Workshops: Everyone Can Sing run at Farncombe Estate.

In his own words:

"These gentle metaphors help to explain, in an informal way, my coaching style and the coaching techniques I use on my music workshops, especially my Everyone Can Sing voice workshop.
 
They may seem simple and fun but they are profound and work extremely well.

Tightrope walking singing and making music can be difficult, like walking a tightrope
by creating a safe, non-critical environment however, the tightrope is now only a few inches from the floor
singing and making music is still difficult but there is now little risk with failure and students feel more free to try and then improve

Cliff flying it's not my role as tutor to drag students to the top of the cliff, show them how steep it is, push them off and then shout at them for flying badly
I invite students to the top of the cliff to enjoy the view and if they want to have a little fly, then I'll be there to take them under my wing, if they need it

The door
'tutors open the door but you must enter by yourself' (Chinese proverb) "
