Alida Bonifaz Vocal Studio

12/12/2018

Hi everyone! This is Jocelyn. She's one of my lovely young students, and she's competing in a PBS talent search. In order for her to have an opportunity to reach the televised part of the competition, she needs to get enough votes to be the kiddo to represent Houston. If you've got a sec, she would super appreciate your vote! You just have to plug in your e-mail here: https://celebrationofmusic.com/jocelyn-chiu

She's neck in neck for the top spot with another finalist--so every vote counts! Votes close Dec. 14! Thanks so much!!

Some of my younger students complain about vocal exercises--but it never stops! Even the legends continue their training throughout their careers. I try to think of them as a game--something I can always do better and better. Here is Celine Dion talking about what she does to keep her voice performance ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIqUX2QbLGw
