Ever been in a singing class and felt like they might as well be speaking a different language? Well that\u2019s because they are! Most singing terms are Italian which can make picking up technique even more tricky. All of our Singing Lessons<\/a> at City Academy are built to ensure our students develop a good knowledge of musical terms and technique. Our Head of Singing and professional singer, Bernadette Doyle, has put together a Singing Glossary<\/strong> of useful terms to give you a head start!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
