Dr. Laurier Fagnan has dedicated his career to helping choirs create a more beautiful, energized, in-tune and well blended sound. The method found on this DVD is the result of Dr. Fagnan's years of research on the singing voice and vocal acoustics, as well as his hands-on experience working with hundreds of choirs around the globe.

While bel canto principles are typically associated with solo singing, here they have been extended to benefit the art of choral singing. The transformative results of this method can be seen in cutting-edge,real-time acoustical analysis that vividly displays the difference in the sound before and after the principles and techniques are applied.
