Manchester, CT Broadway Singing Lessons

Having performed in musical In musical theater professionally and having a son who has had principal roles in Broadway musicals for 22 years, I am well aware of all the elements necessary to develop and produce a voice for Broadway singing. I was trained as a classical and opera singer, which gave me the ability to project my voice while dancing and moving on stage. I work with students to develop good breath control with diaphragmatic breathing. I encourage the learning of sight reading . . . especially valuable When auditioning.

This technique is still rooted in classical, but the vocal placement and use of resonance in the sound is different.

Taught at Songbird Studios. Trained at Power Performance Studios and Broadway Theatre Project. Won several vocal competitions. Performed with NC Theatre, NYC Master Choral and Musical Creations Recording Co.

I have been teaching Voice and Singing Lessons for 10 years and have performed in many different styles and venues. I instruct students from a classical style of singing to Broadway and Pop styles. I approach lessons from a classical and safe manner and help coach the student in ear training, and proper singing methods to protect the throat and vocal chords. I adjust my methods to each student to make a truly individualized experience for each singer. I plan professional student shows though out the year to give each student a practical application to their instruction!

I can teach you proper technique and stylistic embellishments to help you be a success

Based on correct vocal technique, I teach a healthy belt and mix for the appropriate sound for contemporary commercial music desired on Broadway today. I also teach how to switch to a more "classical" approach for the more "legit" music in traditional shows. We work on acting and staging as well as part of the lessons. We want to be singers who act rather than actors who sing.

Learn how to use your voice in the most efficient and healthy way. We will use effective and specific vocal exercises, tailored for your voice and its needs.

My students learn VERY quickly and build a solid singing technique. I taught my 19 year old daughter to sing as a youngster and she is now one of the best young opera singers in New York. She studies with Marlena Malas, who is the most famous teacher in New York City, but constantly calls me to help her work through various technical issues. And I can help you the same way.

I teach all voice types, male and femaleand genres from begiiner to professional levels.

My name is Cristina and I'm from Barcelona. I'm a classically trained singer. I studied belcanto in 'Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia' in Rome. I've also studied musical theater for 3 years here in New York using the Speech Level Singing technique and I'm working in Bway at the moment. I studied jazz and contemporary music in Berklee School of Music, in both locations: Boston and Valencia. I speak spanish, english, italian and french, so the lessons could be in any of these languages. I use all the registers the human voice has: chest, head, mix and whistle. I can belt and teach how to do it for rock singers and how to mix for musical theater and pop music. If your interested in opera, I will teach you how to develop your full and real voice using your whole body, not just your head and 'mask'.
There's just ONE technique for all singing styles. You can sing anything and sound great and big, even without the microphone. I'll help you to reach that goal.
