Time after time, students have come to Cosimo Ciccone with specific problems, which have often been caused by the bad technique of the previous teacher.
The Combined Technique includes the concept of singing in the same comfortable manner as you speak. The use of the neck muscles is eliminated so the vocal cords can function easily in the re-pitching of the notes. The use of the 'calling exercises' and other exercises which we have developed produce a smooth, fuller and stronger sound.
Developing a strong voice is very important. We make sure that the voice is well connected from 'chest to head' without a break. Teaching a student to sing is easy for us but there is more to a song than just singing it, it needs to be communicated through a combination of elements, including emotion and movement.
