Our
teachers are friendly, qualified, experienced and professional
as well as being accomplished performers in
their own right.
To
teach at the LHSS, teachers undergo extensive inhouse
training for between 4 and 12 months to consolidate and deepen
their knowledge and fill in any skill and technical
gaps. This ensures the standard of teaching is at its
peak and is consistent across the team regardless of which teacher
gives the lessons.
We
place great emphasis on the continual development of
our teaching staff to ensure that our students receive
the best and latest training available. This includes
keeping abreast of current worldwide developments in
voice and singing tuition, reviewing and revising our
teaching skills at local and interstate seminars and
conferences and constantly updating our technical knowledge
through professional associations and publications.
Our
dedicated, enthusiastic and supportive teachers offer professional singing lessons
in a caring, friendly and comfortable environment.
