: The Search* has begun.
* Not involving Jamie Theakston, and hopefully not involving multiple schedule changes
Thought I'd blogged about this, but evidently not; I'm now on the hunt for a new singing teacher.
Should be a vaguely easy task, you'd think; there's plenty of singers in both popular and classical styles in any university city of a quarter of a million people, an obviously fairly substantial market for vocal tuition, and while there's going to be a non-trivial popular/classical divide I am ambivalent towards which side my teacher falls (though see also posts passim regarding the pigeonholing tendencies of classical training, and by means of redressing the balance the possible lesser emphasis on sound technique in popular styles implying a greater risk of a bad teacher in that domain). The benefits of being a stylistically ambiguous singer-songwriter, there.
That, however, merely means there are multiple choices. And while it took a while for them to form, they sure have formed now. As of this moment, there are three options.
( And they need so much analysis that a cut is required )
