"I am extremely pleased to share my observations on the Meyers Master Class offered to the members of our Ministry of Cantors at Espiritu Santo Catholic Church. Firstly, I would like to commend the Meyers on their ability to work with singers with vastly varied vocal training and abilities. Many of our cantors are amateur singers with little or no formal vocal training. Many of them had quite a bit of trepidation in singing for people with the Meyers world-class experience...but that was quickly allayed. With their enthusiastic and light hearted approach and their sensitivity to each singers level, Joe and Violette quickly put everyone at ease. I was amazed at their ability to clearly explain complicated vocal techniques such as breathing, support, vibrato control and vowel shapes and pulled from each singer sounds that they were not aware they were capable of making in a very short 20 minutes each. In addition, the members of our choirs who were in attendance as observers where able to take away so much that can be reinforced during our regular choir rehearsals that it has quickly made a difference in their sound and breathing. I would highly encourage any church choir director or director of music to take advantage of the Meyers presence here in our area and bring them in for a class...you will not be disappointed."
