" Suzuki singing lesson "

I know about Suzuki violin lessons. I have never heard of this term as used
for singing.

Do any listers have experience and tips on teaching singing to adults in
groups.
Assume that the ultimate aim is to be able to sing solos.

How many people can be in a group for it to be viable?
Would all the members of the group land up singing the same songs?
Would the group need to consist of only one gender or voice type?
How long before one needs to start individual lessons?
Would the approach be any different if one "knew" that the eventual career
would be one of an opera chorister?

I have taught a group of 6 before, but they were puppeteers and were mainly
interested in breath control and voice production.

The aim of this project is to cut down on one -to- one lessons for beginner
students in a pre-university course.

Many thanks
