Dear voice teachers, be honest, is this you...

  • tired of teaching your students myths and misconceptions in your voice studio?
  • you do not know how to teach pop/belting vocal techniques?

If so, you are not alone

I know how you feel...

Hi, my name is Teik Poi Tan and I am a technical vocal coach. In my life time, I am fortunate enough to say that I have gained extensive education in a career path which I love. I got my first degree in Malaysia and later went on to study vocal performance and vocal pedagogy at the Cologne University of Music and Dance. Through schooling, I gained my understanding of the importance of having good vocal techniques and vocal control in both classical and non-classical singing styles.

During my postgraduate studies at the University and years of attending voice workshops and masterclasses, I noticed that many voice teachers were often famous singers and musicians. They all sang well, had a broad range of repertoire, and some of them even published their books on vocal pedagogy, but none really had the required skills and abilities to teach vocal techniques. After this realization, I began to search for the right technical coaches. After much work, I finally got the guidance I needed from good vocal teachers – Anne-Marie Speed, Paul Farrington, Gillyanne Kayes, Jeremy Fischer, Helga Westmark and Dorte Hyldstrup. Through them, I manifested my artistic development and teaching skills.

I am currently working as a technical vocal coach. I offer vocal technique workshops for singers, vocal coachers and choir conductors.

 

 

As a technical vocal coach...

Dear singers, imagine you can now...

  • belt safely and add emotional intensity to each song you want to perform.

  • expand your vocal range, because you know how your voice works.

  • handle vocal breaks.

Dear teachers, imagine you can now...

  • teach both classical and non-classical singing styles.
  • teach belting safely, because you understand it and you have tools you can use in your studio.
  • teach your students fact-based vocal technique, so you make your teaching more effective and help your students achieve their goals in a healthy manner.
