I have just met Dr. Cooper. I am here at his studio to express
my appreciation for what he has done for my son and daughter, both
teachers with voice problems.
Margaret developed a hoarseness and had to quit singing in the
chorale of which she was a member. The medical doctor said she could
keep on teaching but should whisper and use her voice as little
as possible. For three months she taught, whispering, and the hoarseness
continued.
At this point I got the name of Dr. Cooper from a friend in my
church who had very extreme speech problems. he has, and continues
to do miracles for Margaret.
My son also a teacher, had problems and the medical doctor discovered
growths. He had surgery, but he still has problems. He is now with
Dr. Cooper and is making good progress.
Dr. Cooper's method works miraculously. I am a singer. I studied
approximately 12 years, the last four in New York, but have found
the secret by reading with enthusiasm and excitement. I am 82 and
the last years my voice has seemed heavy. When I sing it feels as
if I were carrying something too heavy to do flexible parts as in
"Allulya" or legarto parts as in "Ave Maria". Using Dr. Cooper's
suggestions, I have found the right focus which for me is the answer
to my problem. It is miraculous. In New York I listened to Flagstad
and heard the tone seeming to be tied together behind the nasal
bridge in the mask. I am convinced she had found Dr. Cooper's magic.
It is simple, specific, testable and works.
Voice teachers should have sessions with Dr. Cooper. It becomes
specific you are no longer fumbling around in the dark.
