Albany, CA Opera Voice Lessons

Not only have I been teaching voice for 10 years, but I carry a wealth of performance experience from stages in the United States and Europe. My lessons include anatomical discussions of healthy vocal production, French, German, and Italian diction, acting, and even combating stage fright.

With 2 years of college level operatic vocal training, Liz teaches how to shape vowels in many languages, and how to project and maintain an operatic vocal style.

I work best with singers of any age just starting out, or those, such as older adults, who have had some training before and are looking to get back into practice.

As a professional opera singer with international career I have performed with opera companies and in opera houses all over a world, gained a lot of singing and acting experience and successfully share my experience with my students.
I enjoy helping beginners to make first steps in singing, but also work with emerging professionals who need little correction, professional advise and an honest opinion to rely on.

The greatest stories in the world are those set to music by the masters. Let me help you fall in love!

Singing has been my passion since the age of 4. The voice is very special - it empowers us to live the lives we desire, communicate with others, and express ourselves. It is my mission to help others discover and develop their voices, thereby freeing them to use it as they choose.

Beyond the functional voice, I teach performance skills, musicianship, music reading, foreign language diction, phonetics, and so much more! I have a Bachelors in Music Education, a Masters in Performance, and a performance resume ranging from jazz to opera.

I love working with singers of all ages and experience levels. I know how to engage with children and adults alike for a productive, enriching musical experience, so whether you are a sings-all-the-time 2nd grader, a recreational karaoke buff, a devoted choral singer, or an operatic baritone, you have a place in my studio.

I am a classically trained singer who has branched out into musical theater, pop, and vocal improvisation. My work as a vocalist has been central to both my Bachelors and Masters degrees in music. I take a serious pedagogical approach, tailoring exercises and repertoire to the individual student. I believe that healthy singing, beginning with the student's awareness of their own vocal anatomy, builds confidence and ability.

I find everyone's unique voice and voice mechanism very fascinating and I focus on tailoring the lesson to that specific student, their goals, and their voice. I love bringing the joy of music and singing to everyone, from hobbyists and beginners to advanced professionals. The variety of students I see is one of the things that make lessons so interesting for me, and teach me new things along the way. I am a VIP (Vocology in Practice) teacher so I have constant continued education as new voice science and information emerges about the voice. I have experienced personally, singing classically as well as pop/RnB/contemporary. I have been teaching for over 8 years and love every minute! I can't wait to join you on your journey whether it be finding your voice, or fine-tuning your sound.

Everyone can learn to sing. With roots in gospel music and a background in classical/opera as well you will have a broad spectrum of training and singing styles to gleen from. We will find your voice and strengthen it! You will learn to own your voice and to hown your craft. Let’s sing together!
