Getting The House In Order: Training Functional Register For CCM

Thursday 10th November 2022, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

In a functional approach to voice, transitioning seamlessly between the bottom and the top often requires isolation work to be done on the basic registers (a.k.a chest and falsetto).
