Opera Voice Lessons in Berkley. Amazing Teachers.

Develop the voice that you always dreamed of at its full potential! My combined Italian-American technique does not know rivals.

Music is my passion and my career. I count myself very fortunate that I get to share that passion with others for a living! It has been my pleasure to teach individual lessons for over 15 years and public school music for over 12 years. I teach voice, music theory, music history, general music, conducting, and choir. I have taught aspiring professional classical and musical theater performers as well as touring rock/pop musicians. I have many years of experience as a performer and teacher and I love sharing what I have learned with my students! If music is your passion, I look forward to working with you!

'Having performed in operas such as 'Cosi Fan Tutti' and sang in various choirs, I have experience in 'Opera Voice' (or also called 'Classical Voice.') Both as a vocal pedagogy teacher and vocal coach (emphasizing the story-line of the operatic piece) - my background is uniquely suited to be of assistance. Whether singing in German, Italian, English (etc) - you will gain assistance with your efforts. I use the IPA as a foundation for assisting my students in their performances.

I am a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and I am here to share my knowledge of technique and style. I have been studying voice for almost 9 years with some of the finest teachers in the country. My method is straightforward, intuitive, and gets great results. My goal is to give you the tools to unlock your voice and sing joyfully with confidence!

I love singing and I love teaching! I encourage my students to be open and honest with me about what they want in lessons so we can always be on the same page. I make my lessons unique by giving my students the chance to learn technique and learn all the fun things that they have always wanted to sing! My students learn the proper techniques and mechanics of singing (breath support, posture, anatomy of the voice, etc.) singing multiple genres of music (classical, musical theater, jazz, etc.), performing in front of others, how to walk into an audition, and more. My students are given pieces to hone in and focus on one or more technical skill, and two which they choose whether it be something they have always wanted to learn, something they consider for fun, or something they want to use to build their repertoire.

I teach a very detailed technique that will help you enrich your voice and achieve a wide vocal range using chest, head and falsetto registers with smooth transitions between registers, with accurate pitch, sustainable tone production, a clear frontal resonance mixed balanced by a rich throat resonance, coordination between breathing phonation, and resonance, clean articulation in English, German, French and German.

I am unique because of my combined musical and medical backgrounds. In addition to my graduate and undergraduate musical training and extensive musical experience, I was a surgeon and taught anatomy and physiology. Part of my medical training included studying the mechanics of how the body works and its application. In addition to the traditional methods such as imagery and mimicry that all singing teachers use, I will help you understand your body - precisely how to produce and resonate your tone, and how your breathing really works in conjunction with tone ...
