Why International Belting Seminar?

For years classical teachers of voice have struggled to understand Belting technique.  In the last ten years, organizations like the National Association Of Teachers Of Singing have included Belting workshops in their conferences and there is now a welcomed paradigm shift that is encouraging people to understand healthy Belting.  This seminar will be critical for the teacher looking for competent training by accomplished professionals.  IBS is designed for the:

Classically Trained College Professor
Musical Theatre Professors
High School Theatre or Music Teacher
Graduate Students
Community Music or Theatre Directors
