Johnstown, OH Opera Voice Lessons

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)

Opera is what I love to perform. It has drama, the height of singing in pushing voices to their limits, and beautiful foreign language.

As a classical, musical theatre, and pop singer, I believe that a classical foundation is the basis of everything, so we begin with this solid foundation.

Once we have the foundation we will build on that along with whatever style/genre you desire. I will take you through a thorough warm up that consists of breathe support, vocal control, tone, consistency, and flexibility and explain how each warm up translates into the
