I view our voice as the most powerful tool we have. From speaking to singing, our voice is what connects us with those around us. I take a holistic, dynamic, and singer-specific approach that is well grounded in the enduring bel canto technique to enable singers to access the full palette of expressive capabilities in their individual instrument. Whether you are looking to be on Broadway, sing at the Met, improve the clarity and presence of your speaking voice, or just want to sound better in the shower, I can help you access the beauty and power within your own voice, As you learn the many tools professional vocalists use, you will be free to sing in any style at any venue with confidence, and will have a blast doing it!

Hi, my name is Benedetta and I am an Italian Opera Singer now based in USA. I always loved music from an early age and I began performing at the age of 14 and continued my education at the Conservatory of Music and Philharmonic Academy in my country. I have a bachelor degree and a master in voice. From the age of 14 till 18 I performed in Broadway shows and then I approached the operatic world. Now I'm a professional opera singer, working all over the world and teaching at the same. In my lessons, you can expect to learn breathing technique, to develop your voice range, to focus on expression and interpretation. I can teach pop music, broadway as opera. I look forward to getting to know you as a student and learning about your specific goals, interests, and learning style. Book a lesson now and get connected right away!

I have been a singer for 15 years now. I love finding new, fun, interactive ways to learn and teach. While I don't consider myself an expert I still like to share the knowledge I have been given. I only give constructive criticism and will never put anyone down.

I have built an amazingly interesting singing career and I feel incredibly passionate about being able to share my knowledge and experience with young and experienced singers!

I am here for YOU! My goal is to help singers reach their absolute highest potential. I focus on breathing, vocal technique, musical interpretation, stage presence, audition preparation, and so much more!

In addition to having a successful international singing career, I have performed in many operas and musicals, placed (and won) in multiple international vocal competitions, written and arranged solos shows, and am still active in my field. I have a Master of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Bachelor of Music degree from Texas Christian University. My knowledge is both academic and from personal stage experience.

I am excited for us to go on this musical journey together!

I have 10 years of classical vocal training, which includes time on stage performing musicals, opera, choral repertoire, and pop music.

My approach to music is equal parts emotional and technical, and is founding in the belief that anyone can sing.

Learning to sing is best grounded in the classical or bel canto tradition. This means learning to be a soloist with the production of aspiration to operatic sound. However it does not mean that all soloists must sing like an opera singer but learn the fundamentals to sing any style or kind of vocal production without developing vocal problems. With my varied experience in all kinds of vocal styles, having branched out from the my own vocal training from classical to pop and rock, I can coach in any genre. I have a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Westminster Choir College, Princeton, NJ with study in the Science of Vocal Pedagogy and 50 years singing experience in church and community choirs, choruses, private lessons, musical theater, solo performances, and karaoke. Basic music training will be provided if necessary. I also have computer, AV, and KJ skills to enhance the full experience of singing and recording.

I have had the opportunity to teach and perform in the US and Japan. I write my own music, record and play other instruments, as well..
