Resources for the Pop/Rock Teacher

This post is going to be updated a few times over the next week.  I'm currently teaching a workshop with my colleague Golder O'Neill on integrating audio technology and Somatic Voicework™ in the voice studio.  If you haven't checked out the CCM Institute yet, check out the website and consider signing up in advance.
