In terms of voice training, Cynthia’s studies have included 30 years of private vocal coaching, 12 years in Dr. Ewing's Master Chorale and 8 years of vocal pedagogy (the art of teaching singing.) In pedagogy Ms. Gibb has extensively studied the writings of Herbert Caesari, Cornelius Reid, William Vennard and Dr. Ewing's doctoral papers, focusing on registration being the most important foundation of singing.
