    About Carley D.

    5.0
    (2)
    Have you always wanted to learn to sing? I am interested in fostering a life-long love of music in my students, those who are just beginning their musical journey and those who have already cultivated their tastes. Good singing is good singing. If you listen well and study the coordinations, you can sing in any style! I am a professional singer living and working in the Greater Boston area. I have performed with opera companies, orchestras and choruses not only in the US, but around the world. I have 7+ years of teaching experiences, working with young singers and those a bit older, teaching many styles including musical theatre, pop, jazz, country, folk and classical singing. I have a Master of Music degree and Teaching Artist Certificate from the Longy School of Music. I am a Teaching Artist with the Metropolitan Opera Guild, private voice teacher at LB Music School, and a singing member of Boston Opera Collaborative, Emmanuel Music and the Cantata Singers. I can't wait to meet you and hear about your interests and musical goals!
