VOICE CLASS FOR BEGINNERS
I like to emphasize music's connection to fundamental human activities involving movement, language, and emotion. For me music was always intuitively a fundamental language of the human brain and therefore deeply connected to who we are as human beings, and spiritual beings. Relaxation, Breathing, Rhythm and Expression Awareness are basic steps to beautiful singing.

“ … And Moraes' singing, as always, was a virtual definition of the passion that is an implicit part of Brazilian music."
