Birgid Tädht, Estonia
"You did a wonderful job as a work shop leader last week-end. I enjoyed it very much and especially the speed coaching sessions impressed me.
You were so focused and precise in all 7 or 8 sessions and your technique with responding personally and emotionally on the lyrics made a significant change in the expressions – simple and effect full – very good work -thanks a lot. The concert at Stars was a lovely experience too – as Mick said: “Du synger pissegodt” – and you’re a great songwriter too, I’m very happy and grateful to know you – you rock!!!"
Kalle Kjemtrup
"I know that I told you that you sing "Pisse godt" during our weekend, but I didn't say strongly enough that I think that you are a VERY, VERY !! competant teacher. Tottaly professional in every way!
But I'd also like to add that you are a VERY lovely person to be with, and I'm sure that 99% of the people who have been on your workshops or seen you perform, think the same as I do about you. I wish you a lot of succes with your latest CD and the whole of your career, in every way! You deserve it! From the heart, Mick "
Mick Mahony, Denmark
"Annika Fehling höll en inspirerande Workshop i Vordingsborg, Danmark.
Hennes engagemang omfattar alla aspekter av funktioner inom songwriter tradition, och hon öste generöst ut sin kunskap.
Konkret hade hon framgång med sin egenskapsupplevelser där hon undervisat andra i kropp, koncentration och delvis andning / röst funktioner.
Eftermiddagen "interpretation " där flera deltagit som försökskaniner, var en mycket speciell upplevelse, eftersom Annika tydligt uppmärksammade den presenterade tolkningen, och förtydligade denna än mer.
De två "co-write" sessioner fungerade speciellt mycket bra. Den första, som bygger på texten och den andra baseras på ett "Melody spel" var mycket givande.
Personligt tillägg är att jag nu har verktyg för att hitta melodier, som jag annars har haft svårt med, och att mina scenframträndanden har förstärkts. "
