Cortaro, AZ Opera Voice Lessons

Breathing technique, use resonators, projection of the voice (also useful for speaking)

I am a classically trained singer and have been performing for over 15 years in Europe and USA.
I teach Voice since 2009.
Bel canto (Italian, "beautiful singing") is a technique that originates in the days of Italian opera where control and the tone quality of the voice were paramount.
From the beginning (and always), I will emphasize the basics -- posture, breathing, and tone production.
Your developing technique will be tested with traditional and classic songs and arias. Correct pronunciation of English in singing is built on the foundation of the simple and pure vowels of Italian. This also applies to singing in French, Spanish, German, and Russian. Further, the classical musical literature in Italian is very well suited to building and displaying great voices.

I've given successfully online lessons via TakeLessons Classroom and if you are interested here is a list with some of the advantages:
1. Quality of the teacher: I believe it is better to have online lessons ...

I am a professional opera singer, with experience singing roles with professional opera companies. Within the first few lessons, you'll learn the fundamentals of vocal technique and as time goes on you'll be performance ready. I specialize in teaching healthy vocal technique, applicable to all styles of singing, from pop to Broadway to opera. Come discover your voice!

This is my comfort zone--I studied French, German, Italian, and English diction as an undergraduate, and I am very comfortable teaching all operatic voices and styles.

I am a professionally managed opera singer and have prepared singers for careers on the opera stage for the past 13 years. In addition I run a regional opera company and have heard thousands of singer audition for me over the last 6 years. I bring the breathe of that knowledge to singers who want to learn how to sing opera. Naturally each singer is different and we will address what areas need to be improved and then what repertoire is appropriate but I find the techniques: Stamina, Volume, Range, Consistency and Appogio (Support). In addition the performance aspect of the operatic art goes beyond just great singing, and I will bring my expertise and experience from both sides of the audition room to help you be the most competitive singer possible.

Hi future students!!!

We all know to be an opera singer is hard work and very difficult. However, it is not impossible. Technique is key and I am here to help you build technique in order for you to reach your goal. Also, we will have fun learning and singing because learning is fun! We will study breath support, and breath control, as well mouth positions, forward sound, the larynx and how to keep and open throat. I will also teach you and help you strengthen your registers as well as blend them.

Hi, I'm Ronn. I have lived in New York City for years performing on concert stages (including Carnegie Hall and Symphony Space) and Off-Broadway theatre. I now travel back and forth consistently between NYC and OKC, and also teach in Los Angeles regularly. I always start with a strong Classical Foundation, and also specialize in Musical Theatre and Contemporary Styles. I value technique, and students learning technique in their own bodies, so they're able to excel on their own after our work together.

I have a vast knowledge of vocal pedagogy and adapting my teaching strategy for various voice types and personalities. You can expect to receive a lesson that is tailored to your needs. I've taught students who have gone on to attend well-known music schools and if you are to work with me, we will work together toward your specific vocal and/or professional goals. My students will receive an emailed recording of their lessons and a recap of material mentioned. Above all, you can expect a fun and informative approach to learning the vocal arts!

I absolutely love being a piano and voice teacher! I have been a classically trained pianist for 17 years and a classically trained vocalist for 6 years. I have been teaching students of all ages for many of these years with great success and fantastic results! Currently, I am a Music Education major studying at UCLA with an emphasis on vocal and piano performance. I create a vibrant musical environment for my students, incorporating performance practice, music theory, technique, music history, effective exercises, personalized repertoire options, and fantastic semesterly recitals at the local Senior Center! I ensure that whomever I am teaching looks forward to lessons, and I try to make it a fun learning environment so that even the stubbornest of students can enjoy lessons! My students have the benefit of an experienced, classically trained teacher, who frequently performs all over the world and nurtures a truly deep love for music. I aim for my students to not just be trained ...
