When I first attended the De Costa Academy it was in an attempt to improve voice production and projection, and to reduce my tendency to recurrent laryngitis at work. Well, with Michael's support, enthusiasm and encouragement these problems have faded in to the background and, in the course of this process, I have re-discovered the joy of singing! I shall always be grateful to Michael, and the Academy, for what they have done for me, but I shall be sorry not to see Michael when I return to my lessons next month. David
