Singing with Taraneh S.

I am a professional opera singer and pianist. I graduated from West GA University with a bachelor of music, continuing on to study voice at the San Francisco conservatory of music. I also received an advanced certificate in music education from Brooklyn College. Its very important to establish a clear understanding of the proper breath support. To a very large degree great singing is dependant upon the application of the right breath support. So a lot of emphasis will be placed on making sure that the student has a clear understanding on that issue. Other important tools will be to direct the student to understand the importance of mask singing. Learning to place the voice in the mask and using pure vowels connecting the sound to the proper breath support, you will acquire a beautiful pure sounding voice that would be free of tension with lots of harmonic partials that would enable you to project your sound with great ease. The roles that I have performed include: The New York Premier of Djamileh by Bizet, Cherubino from the Marraige of Figaro, Czipra from The Gypsy Baron, Zuzuki from Madame Butterfly, Orlovsky from Die Fledermaus and the roles of Siebel and Martha from Faust. In addition I appeared in solo concerts in New York and California. As a pianist I was chosen as a finalist of a state wide piano competition While attending the university. Looking forward to helping you with your voice.
