ANTHONY WINTER
TEACHING EXPERIENCE: I have taught Voice for over 15 years, covering all mainstream
styles and techniques, with a special focus on Musical Theatre. My students have found
success in auditioning for bands and singing competitions, and I have helped many to
obtain roles in music theatre productions. I've guided many students through music exams
to qualifications including Performers Certificates in both Singing and Musical Theatre
from Trinity College London, Performer's Diplomas in Contemporary Singing from ANZCA, and
the Bmus programme at UNSW.
TEACHING METHOD: I apply classical technique to contemporary singing. This strengthens the
voice and extends the range, while providing comfort and safety for the performer. You
only have one voice – if it gets damaged through bad technique, you can’t go out
and buy another. I focus on beauty of tone and the expressive qualities in singing as well
as helping students to improve the style and presentation. I help my students select
repertoire from their own areas of musical interest, and recommend suitably challenging
songs as occasion demands.
TEACHING OBJECTIVES: I believe music brings balance to life, as an enrichment & as
relaxation, and that there is satisfaction to be found in gradual and consistent
improvement. I encourage students to choose pieces that are challenging and which cover a
wide range of performing styles and technical skills. My aim is to develop a sound that is
natural and individual, while still being powerful enough to project and fill large
venues. (e.g. belting technique/ being heard over the guitars etc.) Self confidence comes
through mastery of the material. An individual strategy is needed for each student so they
can set goals which will increase confidence and stretch their abilities at a pace they
are comfortable with. For advanced students I encourage exploration of variations in
colour and interpretation, as well as presentation/entertainment issues. (How to work a
room/hold the audience’s attention, how to create an act, etc…). |
