Mustang, OK Opera Voice Lessons

I studied Opera for many years and have developed a solid technique that I train all my students in. All of them have developed with that technique!

Learn to develop a healthy technique for singing in the classical style with proper vowels, breathing, space, and placement. Learn songs and arias in English, French, German, and Italian.

Students will learn proper breath and voice techniques as well as learn to sing in a variety of styles and languages.

Hi, I'm Ronn. I have lived in New York City for years performing on concert stages (including Carnegie Hall and Symphony Space) and Off-Broadway theatre. I now travel back and forth consistently between NYC and OKC, and also teach in Los Angeles regularly. I always start with a strong Classical Foundation, and also specialize in Musical Theatre and Contemporary Styles. I value technique, and students learning technique in their own bodies, so they're able to excel on their own after our work together.

I teach with a wholistic approach. Each aspect of singing is connected to another: music to language to character to style to technique, which should all be cultivated from the individual singer's mind, body, and spirit.

My goal with each student is to help them find what works best for them. We will work together to discover which vocal exercises will grow and develop their instrument, which techniques help them to learn music and texts, and we will explore expression through performance to help them find their own artistic voice.

With 15 years experience in teaching technique, I work strongly on breathing and vocal placement so that the student learns to sing correctly without hurting their voice. I have prepeared students for auditions to conservatories of music including Berkley College of Music, Music Conservatory of Puerto Rico and many more. I have also prepeared students that have auditioned to The Voice. I work classical and popular voices. I also give recording studio vocal coaching. You'll start learning immediately you start your lesson. I don't teach tricks, I teach processes.

Welcome to the Studio!

I am very excited to be able to work with you this year. Voice study is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.

Hi! I’m currently a senior voice performance at Oklahoma City University. I’ve been taking voice lessons since I was 10 years old and am so passionate about singing and teaching. I have taken vocal pedagogy classes, and after graduation I plan to pursue a masters and doctorate degree so I can someday reach at the university level. This summer I was accepted into a program in Italy where I sang classical and opera music and got to work with world renowned faculty. I’ve additionally been cast as leads in both musicals and operas at my university.
