Jeffrey Skouson, a Master Instructor of the Speech Level Singing technique, will be giving a vocal masterclass in Singapore on the 28th of November 2009.

SLS Master Teacher Jeffrey Skouson trains some 150 private students at Skouson Vocal Studios in Las Vegas. As a Level 5 instructor for Speech Level Singing and a member of the SLS Instructor Management Team, he has lectured and taught in Europe and throughout the United States.
