My First Voice Teacher

My very first teacher was Mr William Lim. He is a bass-baritone and recently performed as Bartolo in the Singapore Lyric Opera (SLO) production of Marriage of Figaro. I started lessons with him about two months before I was to fly off to Chicago for the first time. Here he is on my right (in white). The other guy is my piano teacher, Mr Gan Choo Kheng. The photograph was taken at Love and Life last year!


I am fortunate to have begun my vocal exploration with him for he has imparted valuable foundational concepts of singing, notably on breathing and resonance, to me. Above all, he has inspired and urged me to carry on singing even as I embarked on my first of four years abroad. I have certainly heeded his advice...
