Croton, OH Classical Voice Lessons

I have a degree in Opera. I teach classical and speech level singing which is the connection between chest middle head voices with a gospel belt. I also offer bel canto. Please check with me if you would like to know more.

Lessons and goals are individualized to each student. The teacher and student work together in order to help the student grow in his/her musicality and technique.

I believe that each singer has his/her own unique voice, and I hope to work with a student to help his/her individual voice flourish and shine!

I teach through Listening. Listening to your goals, listening to your passion, listening to your voice, listening for your pain points, and listening to your message. I lead the student to self-discovery and exploration using training, vocabulary, comprehension, and pedagogy. What emerges is a discovery of your true inner voice.

I am happy to offer opera and classical voice instruction and coaching up through the pre-professional level.

This may include:
1) Healthy bel canto and operatic singing technique
2) Diction for Italian, French, German, and English
3) Character work to prepare for a role (including acting and physicality)
4) Audition preparation (including the audition process and building a portfolio)

With over 10 years of teaching experience, and 25 years of performance experience, you're in capable hands to learn it all from the basics to the classics! I have a bachelor's degree in music, and an unquenchable passion for teaching!

Classical voice is an art form that has many rules and needs to be honed. It is the pure technique that makes each individual a better singer and musician

Experience and results are two things every student should be looking for in a voice teacher. With two advanced degrees in voice, ten years of teaching experience, award winning students, and performance experience with many regional orchestras and opera companies, I've got both.
As a teacher, my first priority is healthy, natural singing and my second is expressing the music and text. I use imagery to help students guide their breath energy and cultivate resonant space for more efficient and expressive singing. My lessons are very interactive and collaborative so I can find the images and ideas that connect best with each individual student.

I have a very great teaching experience. I have a strong European vocal school. I know how to put the voice in the right position and teach the right breathing. I've been teaching for 7 years. My students always won at the vocal competitions, showing a high degree of vocal mastery. In the lesson, I create a positive and inspiring atmosphere, the result of classes is visible in a month!)

I teach classical techniques for voice which can be used in all styles of singing.
