Reading the detailed "About" section below should give an aspiring singer all the information relevant as to how and what I teach, with regard to vocal performance and technique. I was classically trained as a vocalist, and from that training I was able to incorporate the various musical nuances necessary to navigate the world of Classical Voice. I personally feel that a singer trained classically, can cross over into other genres with relative ease, should that be their desire. You will learn the foundation to controlled singing. To capsulize my mission statement as an instructor: You WILL be a better vocalist AND performer. THIS I GUARANTEE!!

Gain a bright but legit sound and more vocal range. Will be asked to learn other genres along with classical songs to enhance voice (stamina/range) and musicality.

Alyssa has been performing since 2003. She has a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance from Northern Arizona University (2016) and is pursuing her Master of Music degree in Opera Performance at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee (2018).

Skills taught include: vocal technique, repertoire, musicianship, sight reading, audition preparation, role preparation, and an emphasis in an overall healthy style of vocalization in any genre.

Alyssa's most recent operatic roles include: Parpignol (La Femme Boheme), Anna Reich (Die listigen Weiber von Windsor), Lucinda (Dark Sisters), and Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro). Alyssa also performs regularly in private concert events.

Classical vocal technique is demanding but SOOOO rewarding! The power and clarity that you can develop will astound you! I trained in the Italian (Bel Canto (literally, beautiful singing)) style of voice, and it will give you a great basis in breathing, support, knowledge of your voice and its strengths (and the weaknesses we strive to overcome). We will work on developing beautiful, clear, pure vowel sounds throughout your vocal range, and will work on repertoire from art songs to opera.
*Classical voice students must be 15 to begin serious voice training, and will start at an hour lesson/week. Advanced students will need to hire an accompanist.
*Students under 15 are encouraged to take basic singing lessons, which I also offer, before enrolling in the classical specialty.

I have been studying Broadway singers for years. I put a lot of importance to vocal training, technique and warm-ups.
