Opera Voice Lessons in Chicago. Amazing Teachers.

Voice Lesson and repertoire selection

I take an instrumental approach to singing. Voice is everyone's first instrument. Creating a pure and clear sound by using proper vocal techniques and focusing on rhythm and diction through an instrumental lense is key for solo vocalist and performers to improve their skills.

Bel canto instruction and technique with a clear outline of warm up techniques using Kristin Linklater techniques. I am a classically trained singer, familiar with the repertoire, as well as diction in Italian, French, German and Latin. The goal is utter freedom and beauty of the voice, enabling you to express the scope of contemporary and classical composers.

Gain optimal vocal alignment with Classical and Operatic technique. Emphasis is on flexibility/strength, extension of vocal range, and beauty of tone.

Singing is one of the most joyful activities you can do! Anyone can learn to sing.
I love teaching others to sing and perform, and I've been doing so for over 20 years - through private lessons, music theater workshops, music schools and choruses. I work with students where they are at and help them to build a solid technique that works for them.

(The percentage of people who are actually tone deaf is very, very small.)

Having studied classical and opera singing at Westminster Choir College and having taught it for over a decade has prepared me to teach beginner and intermediate opera voice students. Students will learn technique, the fundamentals of voice health, performance and auditions skills, and extensive study of literature.
I coach French, German and Spanish diction, along with English. I specialize in overcoming mental or emotional blocks that keep us from singing our best.
Please note that I do not accompany, but my students are welcome to bring their own accompanist or accompaniment tracks.
