Hear hear!!! Hence my LOOONG recent discussion about the importance of heavy mechanism in good, balanced singing and the misconception by so many "legit" teachers that the heavy mechanism is to be avoided. You might just engage your daughter's teacher in a little technical discussion and ask her her beliefs about vocal technique. If you can write down some notes and bring her answers back here to the List, perhaps we can all help you decipher what she is talking about (if you don't feel qualified to do it yourself.) TinaO
