Sheldonville, MA Classical Voice Lessons

Beginner to advanced classical vocal technique, song interpretation, diction, sight-reading, for healthy sustainable performance-level singing

Including warm-ups, repertoire, vocal technique, performance practice, breathing, phonation, pitch, diction, and musicality.

Teaching goals concern vocal and breath efficiency, clarity, optimal projection, and strength building.

I've been teaching voice for over ten years. Within the first few lessons, students will gain a basic foundation of breath support and vocal placement. I use a variety of repertoire including Italian art songs, arias, vocal exercises to help students gain insight into singing. I also want to expose the student to many different composers and genres of classical music and I also emphasize basic music skills such as sight reading, ear training, and music theory. I think it is important to know the background, plot, and context of each song, and encourage students to have fun doing their own research and making their own interpretations. I have experience working with students of all ages and abilities and look forward to meeting you!

Whether it is classical, contemporary, or anything in between - the building blocks for the voice are all the same.

Craig, baritone, is an emerging vocal pedagogue. While still young in his field, he believes that the foundation for singing is the same no matter the genre. By observing what each students needs, Craig helps his students achieve their goals, while pushing them to discover new ones as well.

I am a current graduate student at the Boston Conservatory studying vocal performance and opera. I have a wholistic approach to teaching, which includes an understanding of how your body and voice work together to produce sound for you personally. Every person has a different voice so we can't all be taught the same! I strongly believe in catering the lessons to each individual's learning style as well as the musical interests of the student.

My training focuses on mindfulness of the body and allowing the voice to find freedom and truthful expression through the foundations of technique as developed through the bel canto method. Although I focus on opera, I adore working on musical theatre, jazz, and pop. I've received my Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree, and Professional Studies Certificate in Opera Performance from UNC Chapel Hill and The Boston Conservatory, respectively. I've worked professionally in DC, Boston, San Diego, and Italy. I look forward to developing a process that works for your body and your goals!

I have a Masters degree in Opera Performance, and have been singing classicaly for 7 years! I sing, and am able to teach all genres! Pop, classical, country, broadway, you name it! I also add instruction in reading music in my lessons.
