Esin has sang for many years with the Netherlands opera chorus in Amsterdam.

Esin is also an outstanding singing teacher/ pedagogue, "a good technique is a must". A good technique means knowing exactly how to combine the breath with the midriff. A beautiful voice is not the most important thing, but a good technique is essential, otherwise the voice becomes damaged.

The voice can stay healthy for many years with proper vocal training.  A proper understanding of Bel Canto technique is essential, and in this way the voice stays beautiful.  A good singer combines their musicality  with  intelligence.
