On podcast #43, our special guest is Christin Coffee Roudeau. Christin is working with private voice students, small group vocal classes and Orff Ensembles. Today’s interview is all about movement and creative exploration and why it is so important (and often overlooked) in vocal lessons. Great teacher take-a-ways and inspiration to bring into your voice studio.
