San Francisco, CA Opera Voice Lessons

The Opera Voice Track focuses on opera and classical art song repertoire. You'll study songs in Italian, German, and French, as well as English. Your repertoire will reflect the evolution of classical music, with pieces spanning opera history -- Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern.

You will learn vocal technique to help you reach your singing goals! Some areas we may focus on include vowel shape, space, breath support, forward placement, register blending, muscle relaxation, and vocal anatomy.

My style of breath support focuses on mastery of the intercostal muscles, the muscles that expand and contract the ribs. By exercising these muscles, you can gain more control of your exhalation and breathe more efficiently!

Sung many opera and orator role in New England and California. I have premiered several new compositions. I have received full scholarships to the Blossom Festival in Ohio, Cal summer arts. I have sung with many choral such as the Boston Bancheto Musicalle "tangle wood choral, San Francisco symphony choir, Carmel Bach Festival Cambridge Concentus and others,iered several new compositions and worked in many ensembles.

All lessons are tailored to the needs of each individual student. I work on a very technical basis but at the end of the day, singing should be fun. Work we do will help you expand your vocal range and your technical chops.

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 believe with a healthy technique, awareness of the entire body as an instrument, and patience, you can sing anything. I love exploring and helping a student develop their unique voice and musical expression! I have explored a variety of musical genres, from classical, musical theater, jazz, and pop and calls on those experiences as I work with each unique voice to bring out the very best in my students.

I have performed nationally and internationally with both opera and musical theater. Notable experiences include performing with the iSING! International Young Artists Festival in Suzhou and Beijing, China, the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute in Montréal, Canada, and the Festival of the Aegean Greek Opera Studio in Syros, Greece. I have taught voice and general music privately for over 7 years now.

I access singing and speaking through movement and resonance. We discover the way your body moves freely, opening up the breath and getting it to flow freely. Then we discover how to access your resonance with that freely flowing breath. Singing and speaking comes easily from there. Lessons with me are a combination of yoga class, anatomy lesson, and actually making sound. I find that if we see our voices as another part of the body that we're training, we see that singing is a movement technique, and looking at it that way actually gives us the freedom to make art with it.

I approach my teaching by finding every singer's true and honest voice, and then exploring ways to make that voice as free and beautiful as possible. In the course of our lessons I will utilize techniques to explore breath control, resonance, range and freedom of not only the voice, but the body's ability to express while performing.

Every person that is capable of speech is capable of singing beautifully, and I fully embrace that mantra as a teacher. With that approach, I teach a wide variety of styles, ranging from Music Theater to classically informed Operatic Singing. Let's make some music!

Hello and congratulations on your decision to find the RIGHT voice teacher for your unique needs. I have been teaching voice for 27 years, both locally and internationally, and have studied voice for 40 years. I teach all styles, ranging from classical to musical theater, R&B to pop and jazz. I can help you cross-train and learn to sing multiple styles authentically. I also still study voice and perform frequently (again, classical to classic rock), so I understand the needs of all types of singers. I challenge all of my students at their own particular levels by prescribing vocal exercises for quick and longer term solutions, then applying it to their chosen songs. Our lessons are always fun! I treat all of my students like they are going to be on the big stage, regardless of experience, and also provide regular performance opportunities for them.
