Aggie Gioftsidis -The lessons with Rachael were like a missing piece to my puzzle, they literally were a turning point for me, it was like, adding another dimension and depth to singing. By learning and practicing just being present, I learned to go beyond the endless mind chatter and my emotions, including fear, and really connect with me, my true essence, and eventually to express that truth, to express my uniqueness i guess, through my voice. It's been so liberating. Feeling free has enabled me to re discover and re connect with that passion that I had for singing. Singing is such a soulful experience now, truly joyous, each and every time. Thank you Rachael.
Lynne Robbins - I was looking for a singing teacher/classes for a while and found The Connected Voice on the internet – it sounded great but I hesitated because I was scared. "I can't sing I don't have a good voice what if they laugh at me!" Finally I pushed my doubts aside, contacted Rachael and began private lessons. To my delight, it was like stepping inside my very own space of personal development. I have learned so much and let go of so much that was stopping me from using my own voice. I really recommend The Connected Voice…it is so much more than just singing lessons!
Dave Havea - I'd had many singing teachers in the past with varied results but only Rachael Kane at Connected Voice gave me a true insight into not only the technical aspects of singing but also the importance of physical presence and connection to ensure the best results whenever I sing. I would recommend Rachael for any singers needs, from improving technique to gaining a new perspective on performance.
Michael Pollit - Rachael is inspirational. Her style is sensitive and practical, reassuring and challenging. In my sessions she taught life skills which helped me to tune into myself, freely express myself as an instrument, and to understand and align my emotional state with the messages in my songs. She has really helped me and I commend her to anyone looking to expand themselves as a musician and human being
Georgie Walker - Rachael is wonderful, patient and caring. She taught me to open up, trust myself, be happy and confident with who I am and have the confidence to shine! She has also helped me let go of my insecurities and find my true voice.
Kate Rae - Whilst attending singing lessons with Rachael Kane over the last few years, I have greatly progressed in my vocal ability. Focussing on meditation, being present and trusting myself have allowed me to open up and freely express my voice naturally while maintaining my own individual sound.
Sal Kimber – "I feel truly thankful for the techniques I have learnt with CVC. Allowing me to find my true voice and a connected empowered voice. The skills that I have learnt have been invaluable for building my confidence on and off stage and in the recording studio. The techniques and mentoring with Rachael have allowed my singing to become energized rather than forced, and probably the most important thing, enjoyable. I have learnt the joy of singing!!" www.salkimber.com
Ellen Luzana – "I always thought singing was about remembering the words and hitting the right notes. After taking the group lessons with Rachael I've found that singing can be much more than that. It has been a way to connect with a part of myself that I never knew existed and to enjoy the act of singing with and to other people. These lessons have also showed me the importance of being yourself and singing from a sincere joyous place.
These are more than just singing lessons and I recommend you give them a go if you are willing and open to discovering things about yourself as well as having fun!"
Elaine Tzimokas - "I feel so much more joyful and connected within myself and have realized an increasing awareness of my feelings, even during the times when i am not so connected. As a result of this, my general confidence and ability in truly connecting with people has grown immensely, as I have learnt to
grow more and more content within myself and become more accepting of
myself. I now appreciate my voice, regardless of its imperfections in
which I am happy to embrace and claim as being my own. I have learnt
that the art of creativity is derived from within and not from the mind.
Your classes have given me this awareness and are a constant reminder
that it is ok to just be yourself....it has been truly freeing!"
Simone Gill - "At CVC, I found my lessons refreshing and rewarding and I learned an approach to singing that was holistic. While the CVC method involved study of technical aspects, there was a strong emphasis on awareness of the mind and body, and being truly connected during singing. That was helpful to me as I was someone who tended to ‘over-think’ during performance risking a loss of this important connection. As well as my individual lessons, I participated in the ’joy of singing’ group which was a really fun and relaxed approach to connecting with other singers.!" www.myspace.com/simonegillmusic
