593.0. "Vocal instr. - Nashua area?" by ZEKE::WOZNIAK () Thu Jan 13 1994 14:28

    Does anyone know of a good vocal instructor in the Nashua area?
    Please don't say Joseph Pielecki. The only place I know of is the
    Community Music School, but I believe all of their instructors are
    classically trained and refuse to acknowledge rock as a form of
    music.
    
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Ross

    sorry i can't help with a recommendation, but i did want to say that
    in my opinion...classical training is all you need....with classical
    training you will learn the proper way of singing which should
    transcend any type off musical style.....although it does help if the
    teacher doesn't run screaming from the room when you start to apply the
    training to the type of music you want to do...start the lessons ..later,
    if they won't do what you want to do, then you can change to someone
    without the snob attitude.....                                   /k

Here's an enthusiastic recommendation for Charlotte Russell -- she's in
Littleton MA though, so may not be too convenient for you.

I agree with /k that most of the fundamentals of singing can be applied to any
style, and that you'll get those from a good classical teacher.  But it helps
to find somebody who isn't prejudiced, and distinguishes between things that
are necessary for healthy singing and those that are just features of the
"classical style".

Charlotte's helped both my rock and classical singing tremendously.  We work
on both types of songs in lessons.

Maybe that's what the base note author is trying to do, leave a snobbish 
teacher.
