NATS Central Region Presentation 2018

Ingrid Bowen Kammin - NATS Voice Teacher

"I am inspired by your flair and passion for singing and teaching!"

National Conference

Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS) York, England

"Admirably, as a teacher, she has confronted popular singing which is where many of her students will earn their living, and learned to identify and understand the various styles. She has analyzed the variety of sounds which popular singers of today use to "colour their singing and named these sounds for easy reference. She stressed that she continues to listen and learn. Her enthusiasm was infectious and inspiring and I feel I have been given a “way in”  to pop singing through her excellent analysis." READ MORE

Workshop Master Class - Paris, France

Emmanuel Pesnot - Review

"Her teaching, precise without being authoritarian, simple without being unintelligent, exacting and respectful, leads you gently towards vocal comfort and efficiency that are hitherto unknown. At the end of an hour of instruction, this writer succeeded to singing effortlessly the final high F in Valjean’s prayer from Les Misérable by Boublil and Schoenberg, pianissimo, in mechanism I, but with the colors of the head voice."  READ MORE
