She has no interest in founding an ‘Isokoski school’; her aim is to help her students discover natural, unrestrained voice production. “The technique needs to be as far automated as driving a car so that it can be fully subservient to the music, the interpretation and the musical communication.” She works with each student’s own vocal colour and does not try to shape it to fit any particular voice type or style. Of course, a particular colour of voice is suited to particular kinds of repertoire – by convention, if for no other reason – but voice types are not set in stone.
