Description

You want to sing a Mandarin song but you are not too sure how to read those Chinese words/spelling?

The word changes in meaning if you change the inflection of a Chinese word while we speak the Mandarin language. However, please worry less if you are in the context of singing. Most of the time, the composer has chosen the suitable melody to fit the inflection.

Now, you can better express the lyrics with my help in this course as I’m going to teach you how to read Hanyu Pinyin by learning the combination of vowels and consonants.

Besides, I will be helping you in learning the tune of the song through solfège and also impart singing technique, especially for female voices.

I also teach you how to better connect with the song by understanding music history and through inserting your personal story into the song. In another word, expressing your feelings and emotion through lyrics and music.

I’m a trained western classical singer and Mandarin is my mother tongue. I want to help you and expose to a new world of singing. I’ve merged my singing training background, coaching experiences, conducting knowledge and my first language into this course.
