"I love technique as it allows you to explore what you have musically inside of you with the maximum amount of success. If you can imagine it....you can sing it if you know how your body and voice works. I'm a bit of a technique fanatic and gain success as a result!"
About Anne-Marie Czajkowski
I studied voice at the Royal College of Music (95-97) in London as a postgraduate where I received my performance diploma and studied teaching of voice. When I came top in the ‘Art of Teaching’ class, I was given my first teaching post by the Professor training the course and I teach pretty much full time now, doing singing jobs for fun and profit. I gained my BA degree in Music from Reading University (89-92) where I subsequently taught voice for 8 years (98-06).
