"In addition to vocal and performance techniques, I’ve been learning to trust myself as a singer. My teachers’ endless support — not only through technical knowledge, but also active listening and encouraging conversations — gave me the confidence to do my first ever solo acoustic performance at a concert. Looking back on my first choir rehearsal — when I was eager to sing solo but tense to even raise my hand — I see progress and, in the process, I’ve been positively impacted by their dedication, passion, and enthusiasm.”
