How does it work? First, the instructor studies your voice, then records piano accompaniments to songs for you or helps you find backing tracks online.  They then send them via email so you can sing with them in your online singing lessons. They also record vocal exercises specialized to your singing style. The TWVS staff works with singers on jazz, pop, rock, R&B, electronic music, opera and musical theatre.
