“We need to take diversions sometimes, to come back and realise what we’ve got”
Becky Gilhespie has had an interesting journey from singing, to teaching to cheffing, and now, as a result of Covid-19 back to teaching singers again. A Masterchef semi-finalist, Becky talks about her journey and how her diversion into the world of cheffing and food informs her teaching these days. Recently Becky has taken her experience of being a self-conscious singer and written a practical book, “Singing for the Self-Conscious”, to help singing teachers and singers who suffer from the same issue. (Get Chapter 1 free Download Here ). Other discussions she and Line have are around good food for singers, teaching online (with some very non-techno-babble) and classroom teaching.
