Additional Skills

I have a very spiritual side to my singing, and excel in uplifting the listener's mood. Many are moved to tears, experience goose bumps and thrills. When I sing, it's as if I'm singing with the Angels, especially for Christmas and religious pieces. I can convey a great deal of Love and warmth vocally.
I've a very quick sense of humour, a quirky way of mixing up languages and playing with meanings of words,
I compose poems and songs, previously for guitar, more recently for piano/organ,
I regularly translate English musical texts into Italian which I then perform.
I have a good marketing sense for inventing slogans, rhymes, or key phrases.
I invent songs to teach English to little children.
I use different voices to convey the meanings of English words to students to avoid doing a direct translation.
