Cherie Chai
Choral Instructor

In a time where so much of the media we consume is manufactured and veneered, choral music is a safe haven where we can embrace being human - flaws, imperfections and all. There is a beauty in how individual voices come together to form a complex and living sound, and that is precious to me.
Cherie is a multifaceted musician whose portfolio includes choral conducting, a cappella coaching, vocal percussion, and audio editing and mixing. By day, she conducts choirs across various Singaporean schools, where she focuses on developing young voices, while encouraging healthy vocal and mindset growth. In the evenings, she works with several local university a cappella groups, sharing her expertise in contemporary a cappella through lectures on vocal mechanics, score arrangement techniques, and stage performance.
Cherie believes that singing has no aesthetic bias, and encourages her students to explore all genres of music, supporting their vocal goals and facilitating vocal control through exercises and methods grounded in vocal mechanics.
In her quest to better understand the voice, its structures, and how they work, Cherie has attained the Estill Figures Proficiency in Estill Voice Training, and is working towards her Estill Master Trainer certification.
