    About Peter F.

    5.0
    (6)
    For 19 years I have been teaching voice for Opera, Lied, songs (as well as some jazz and pop) - in Germany, Italy, and online - in a fun, educational, and highly effective and motivating way. I am passionate about helping my students find confidence and core strength in their singing through the study of solid technique. The focus of your lessons will always be what is best for your voice and what you want to sing. If you want to book a lesson please message me first so we can find a time that works for both of us (due to things like time zone differences etc). I speak English, Italian, and German. “A magesterial tenor”. -The New York Times  In my over 33 years of professional experience, I have sung in the US, Canada, Portugal, Italy, and Germany to rave reviews. I earned a Master's of Music from the Hartt School of Music (Connecticut, USA) and a Bachelor's of Music from the University of Massachusetts. My experiences at the university led me to sing music from Léonin and Pérotin through Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and modern music. Prior to that I sang in a jazz ensemble and in a rock band (where I also played bass). I am also the creator and co-founder of the acclaimed Berlin Wagner Gruppe which presents complete performances of Wagner's works in concert and semi-staged format and offers singers the opportunity to study, rehearse and perform a full Wagner role with a full cast. In addition to singing opera and teaching, I am also in demand as a concert soloist for orchestra and for Liederabend concerts, with recent appearances in Belgium, Italy, the USA and throughout Germany. In 2017, I was featured on the critically acclaimed CD of Das Lied von der Erde. I can also be found singing the role of Don Gomez in Weber's Die Drei Pintos which was recorded at Wexford Festival Opera.

    Peter Furlong is a teacher who instills solid technique in a way that sticks, and in a way that makes you want to sing even more. His emphasis on supple, supported breath is the foundation upon which all other great work can be built. His knowledge of diction in classical/opera languages is extremely helpful in getting audition pieces polished. He is an encouraging, enthusiastic teacher and I would recommend him to anyone!
