From THE
PERFORMING ARTS:
Meribeth's writings and master-classes present
a vivid experience of health throughout
the singing process, from basic physiological
principles through to the real-time relationship
with the audience. There is a wholistic
joy about her work that inspires performers
and listeners alike, and is able to sow
seeds of re-orientation that enable singers
to discover and follow new pathways of development
whose ongoing value remains long after the
specific class encounter is past. Her spontaneity/authority
balance is superb, and I am convinced that
my experience of her work has deepened and
enriched my own vocal coaching more than
that of any other single influence in recent
years. I await with eagerness the unfolding
of still further wisdom from the immensely
fertile source that is Meribeth.
Robin Bowman, Head of Vocal Studies,
Guildhall School of Music and Drama
Meribeth Dayme is a true master teacher.
She has a thorough knowledge of the human
voice and an uncanny understanding of people
and the way that we learn and process information.
Her extensive academic credentials are balanced
with a healthy dose of common sense. She
is an experienced presenter, equally effective
with classical voice teachers, pop vocal
coaches, professional singers, amateur singers,
choral directors, and public speakers. Meribeth's
workshops are fun, interactive and informative.
She always injects humor, creativity, and
spontaneity in her presentations with a
focus on practical application of knowledge
and skills. I would recommend her workshops
to anyone interested in becoming a better
vocal communicator, whether singing or speaking.

Book Assistant Professor of Voice, Colorado

'Meribeth's Masterclass at the RNCM was
astounding. She taught with a simplicity
and truthfulness that can only come from
profound understanding. Under her expert
guidance students made extraordinary, immediate
and lasting transformations. Having read
and enjoyed her books it was a further treat
to see her teaching in action. Thank you
Meribeth for your excellent work with our
staff and students'.
Susan Roper, Director of Vocal Studies
Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester
"Meribeth has transformed
my (whole) approach to singing".

"To watch Meribeth (Bunch) Dayme working
with singers is for teachers and students
alike an inspiring experience. Starting
always with the posture and having as the
basis for her work her unrivalled understanding
of the vocal instrument, she appears to
achieve near-miracles in freeing the sound?
Hazel Wood, past president AOTOS (Teachers
of Singing UK)
Meribeth Dayme is an instructor that brings
together the virtues of impeccable
vocal technique and proven teaching qualifications.
With her excellent communication skills
and mastery of the subject matter, she will
open up new horizons for singing students
and mark a fruitful period in their careers.
Maricarmen Palma, Head of the Music
Department of "la Caixa" Foundation, Spain
As a teacher of voice myself, I wanted to
know how the voice worked. Meribeth warmly
welcomed a group of us to her excellent
five-day anatomy course in London. One of
her great skills was to make it seem easy
to understand the physiology of the complex
human body, and see the beauty of its workings.
Another was to relate this information to
the act of singing or speaking. Yet another,
to help us relax and let the knowledge enter
our long-term memories. It goes on. One
of the most worth-while courses you could
subscribe to. Russell Smythe,
Professional singer, Faculty, The Royal
College of Music, London UK
Meribeth offers creative tools for learning.
Her course work has a solid theoretical
base, delivered in a practical and holistic
format. She understands the artist, the
teacher and the public speaker and she is
not afraid to address the spiritual dimension
in performance communication. [We recommend
that all our trainee teachers take Meribeth's
course in Vocal Anatomy.]

"Meribeth knows what whole person coaching
really means -mind, body and beliefs. Leadership
coaches typically lack the ability to work
with the body and so miss opportunities
to build confidence and personal power..."
