This is one new Vocaliser who is very happy that she joined. My singing teacher has been overseas for a while and I was afraid that I was falling into some very bad habits. I needn't have worried! After reading many of your e-mails concerning `ah' vowels, tongue placement, wobbly notes, and
the like, I know that I'm back on track. A list like this is no substitute for a good teacher, but it's great to know that there are so many other fellow-singers out there who are happy to share their knowledge.

The greatest value in this list for me lies in its range of perspectives: What works for one person may not work for another, but if you have 10 people offering their solutions to a particular technical problem, chances are that at least one of them will hit close to home. At the very least,
those who subscribe to this list are ensuring that they are actively engaged learning about (and questioning) the rigorous discipline of singing.

Keep up the good work.
