Glen Arm, MD Opera Voice Lessons

During my time with students, I strive to assist them in taking risks, discovering the joy of music, and making progress with their singing. No matter what their goals are- All-State Choir, opera, musical theatre, or just having fun, I love helping them reach them. By looking at different genres of vocal music, we will focus on many different aspects of singing, from music theory, to expressive performance, to the foundation of healthy singing.

I believe that every student is unique and learns in his or her own way. Therefore, I tailor the pace and focus of lessons on each student’s interests and abilities. I believe it is integral for all students to have an understanding of music theory and therefore, work on theory and sight-reading. In addition, I think a well-rounded musical education is key, and work on an array of genres with my students including folk songs, art songs, and musical theatre. Students will work on 2-5 songs at once, and will consider a song "learned" once ...

Learn to develop a healthy technique for singing in the classical style with proper vowels, breathing, space, and placement. Learn songs and arias in English, French, German, and Italian.

My specialty is in classical voice technique, whether that be for opera or art song. My formal training encompasses over 13 years.

I can teach you technique involved with opera singing as well as help with auditions.

Get a strong technical foundation. Build your repertoire. Prepare for auditions.

I am a classically trained singer, and I prioritize health above all else when teaching voice. As a soloist, I work with students to improve their abilities to sing confidently and technically efficient by themselves. I teach everything from standard operatic repertoire, musical theater (helping them get roles like Cinderella from "Into the Woods" and Gabriella from "High School Musical"), popular music, and much more. I love learning from my students and their interests.

As an award winning vocalist, I know what it takes to have a great sound and technique. As a trained vocalist from Peabody and Berklee. I am able to teach what I have learned and apply it to a range of voice styles.

I have worked and studied with artist such as Richard Smallwood, Heart, Nona Hendricks, the Baltimore symphony orchestra, to name a few. For years I have worked in professional theatre and education and have taught children and adults alike how to tap into their confidence and bring out the voice they are meant to have.

Working with me, you will not only receive voice training but performance training as well. It is great to have a beautiful voice but what can you do with it if you have no stage presence?

-Proper voice technique for your genre of music
-How to expand your range

and that is just the beginning. No matter the age, you will succeed with me because my focus is on helping you grow.

I am a lyric Tenor, Opera singer. I was a vocal coach for a group of people with problems with technic. I mainly focus on Singing technic and Costo-diaphragmatic breathing, vocalization. I can help you in any genre applying the classical technic for singing that most Opera Singers use that let them perform in every genre needed. Due to how tedious teaching of solfeo is, I reserve myself for only to help in technique and tuning.

I have experience teaching voice lessons for 3 years. I studied voice as my primary instrument at the University of Mobile. I am well versed in classical, jazz, pop, and contemporary Christian music. I am passionate about uncovering someone's natural talent by developing skills and proper technique that will keep you singing for many years to come.
