Music enhances our creativity and artistry in the world. It is essential to the development of the brain and of healthy, balanced individuals. Music may be the one thing that keeps a youth from developing unhealthy, destructive behaviors and may even provide a vehicle for emotions and a haven from the ugliness of the world during uncertain or precarious periods of development.
I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help people discover the potential of their voice, especially those who have been convinced they cannot sing.
Annette continues her study of voice with: Seth Riggs, creator of Speech Level Singing®(SLS); Dave Stroud, CEO SLS International and SLS IMT; Jeffrey Skousen, SLS IMT; John Henny, SLS IMT

Speech Level Singing. Technique of Legends
Speech Level Singing ®(SLS) makes singing as natural and easy as speaking. Used by more than130 Grammy winners and developed by Seth Riggs, legendary vocal coach to the stars, SLS produces an effortless, powerful, and expressive voice.
Because you learn how to sing and not what to sing Speech Level Singing® can be applied to any type of music. From Opera to Rock: Jazz to Pop or R n’ B. That is why singers who train in SLS have won over 130 Grammys, many Metropolitan Opera National Council Audition winners, and Tonys for leading rolls on Broadway. SLS has also been practiced by Academy Award winning actors and industry leaders to perfect their vocal presence and empower them in speech.
Redlands Vocal & Performing Arts Academy is a certified Speech Level Singing® studio, employing only Speech Level Singing certified Instructors, and the only certified SLS instructor in the Inland Empire.
