"The BAST course has given me so much confidence to be able to share knowledge and understanding about the voice, as well as helping me to gain a greater understanding of what being a teacher actually entails.” Danny Gortler, UK

“The BAST course was exactly what I was looking for and has been a tremendous help, not only in giving me the tools and confidence to teach, but it has also helped my own singing! I’m now getting comments at my gigs that I’m singing better than ever. Win-win! I’m now a vocal nerd in the making!” Nat Ripepi, Aust

“The BAST course gave an incredibly thorough overview of effective, healthy methods of improving a student’s singing ability.
