How teaching is different from other professions?
They need work in school that allows them to take up a problem, figure out how to find the resources that will be needed to solve that problem, work with others to design a solution, test it, evaluate it, revise it, and be able to generate their own progress in learning. That’s a very different kind of teaching.

In the same way as any other artistic domain, singing lends itself perfectly to self-teaching.

Is having a good singing voice genetic?
To be sure, some aspects of singing are influenced by genetics. “There are certainly people who are more natural singers, and the physiological shape of their vocal tracts can give a more or less pleasing natural sound to the voice,” Hutchins points out.
