Berkley, MI Opera Voice Lessons

I emphasize a standard classical approach. I thrive on good, solid technique. This will enable students to master any type of music they wish to study.

In each lesson we will vocalize, work with your posture, breathing, vocal technique and repertoire of your choice.

Every student is different, so your lesson will focus on you and your abilities.

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.

I have been taking classical voice lessons for 12 years, and I have been giving singing lessons for 3 years to a wide range of students. I have a Bachelor of Music degree, with a focus in opera, so I am well-versed in many forms of technique and style. I believe that the necessary foundations of classical voice are breath control, vowel specificity, and development of tone. Also, I always make sure my students are engaged and focused, and my goal is to help them achieve their personal goals. My least enjoyable experiences were when I had teachers who weren't tuned in to my specific needs and wants, so I make sure to always be attentive and accepting of my students. I also try to push my students to their greatest potential, and have students who have made it to Broadway and other successful arenas.

Recommended for the highly motivated intermediate/ advanced classical voice student seriously seeking to further his/her vocal pursuits. Lessons in opera dive even deeper into breath support, building solid vocal technique, musicality, learning challenging repertoire, and pronunciation of foreign languages.

Whether you are a total beginner, or have polished material in every romance language and want to add more rep, I will help expand your technique and understanding of classical singing and the voice. We'll also work on dramatic interpretation and looking at the arias you're working as they relate to the whole role so you'll elegant and unstoppable as an Opera singer!

Singing is not easy as it seems!
I will listen to your story, I will let you explain what you want from your voice, and I will drive you, step by step, towards your dreams.
