Daytripper - I am not sure how old your dd is? Someone suggested 7-8. We have been told repeatedly by multiple sources not to let anyone train our DDs voice before 18, or close to it. Choirs and group singing yes, true vocal training no. She was 5 when people started to stop talking to me and stare over her singing, she stopped singing so much for a few years and has recently started again and I am getting comments again. I am reminding myself no more than a good choir...
What's the distinction being drawn, do you know? Good choirs (major cathedral choirs here, which have produced many of our best singers and other musicians for centuries) do pretty intense vocal training, and individual singing lessons as I know them appear to do the same kinds of things, so this is confusing to me.
