For a decade Timothy Wayne-Wright travelled the world performing hundreds of concerts with Britain's Grammy award winning The King's Singers.

Now he and his family have settled in Aotearoa, where Tim is setting up a touring A Cappella Academy, a training course for singers and vocal ensembles.

The first one's scheduled for April in Nelson, but he's being flexible with the timing for obvious reasons at the moment.

Timothy's an experienced singing teacher and will be covering off vocal techniques like chord balancing, blending and vowel matching, as well as performance ones like how to really connect with an audience.

He told Lynn Freeman why he loves this specific musical genre.
