Bandcoaching
The idea of developing workshops for bands, musicians, and singers came into being many years ago when Terry was asked by entertainment agencies to coach and give workshops to their groups of musicians and singers to help them grow and improve bringing them to a more professional level.
This workshop is focused on taking a band to a professional level by developing their presentation, singing techniques, vocal control, microphone techniques,
and improving their combined sound by focusing on each band member’s individual qualities and teamwork, and if the band use their own PA system
a special advanced sound engineering workshop can also be included.
