Pop stylings.. sheesh. There are local "voice teachers" in my area, who basically are piano teachers, not singers or voice teachers, who are now pulling in lots of young teenage girl students who want to learn "styling". Their parents have not a clue that this does not teach voice technique, basic foundations of breathing and singing are not even covered. These girls appear at weddings with tiny, breathy voices, a microphone against their lips, imitating "pop styling" like they have seen on MTV. If they have a voice, it's not being developed into anything that has tone, range, or individuality.
