The Old Italian School of singing, generally regarded as the source of Bel Canto (which means beautiful singing), studied the sensations of natural singers and the physiology of the throat, head and thorax as it relates to muscles throughout the body in order to understand the relationship between actions and the sensations, which they engender. The result was the development of singers whose technique followed the laws of nature, a coordination, which appeared, because it was, perfectly natural. This understanding is a goal worth setting and what I teach.

In my thirty years experience as voice teacher and performance coach, I have worked with beginners to Broadway + Opera stars, with several out on National tours. Professionally, I sing on the Operatic, Symphonic, Broadway and Cabaret stages. My life passion is expressing myself through song and helping others find their unique voice, giving them the knowledge, training and insight necessary to deliver their best performance.

Vocal Technique
My students are given a complete comprehensive knowledge of the voice technically in coordination with the artistry of song. Serious attention to breath management; function of the larynx; integrating registrations - belt, mixed belt, head, chest, falsetto; balancing air flow in connection with onset and phonation; diction and articulation; acoustics and resonance areas; stylistic interpretation and vocal expression.

As a performance coach, I will bring out your vocal strengths and find appropriate repertoire for your voice, suited perfectly for you. I offer expert advise on musical repertoire for musical auditions, concerts and recitals.

Let me help you "Brand Your Voice".

Expertise/Specialty: Singing Teacher for 35 years: Voice Building and Repairing
Musical Styles Taught: Classical, Musical Theatre
Education: BA - Vocal Performance, Music History, MM - Vocal Performance
Memberships/Affiliations: National Association of Teachers of Singing, AEA, AFTRA

I have been teaching voice and actively performing for over twenty-five years. I teach individuals and groups, and have conducted college and church choirs, and taught courses in Vocal Pedagogy and Singer's diction (English, Italian, French and German). To greater understand how body functioning can improve the voice and reduce tension, I study and teach "Body Work." And believing that communcation of dramatic ideas is at the core of any successful performance, I have also studied acting, movement and performance enhancement techniques.

Each singer is a unique individual. The sound they make and the ideas they communicate are as unique as they are. My job is to help a singer find "their voice" through exercises that accommodate aural, visual, and kinesthetic learning styles. These exercises lead to healthy singing and reduce tension, improve breath management, strengthen the voice, and increase range. I am a proponent of the use of body work to improve mind/body connections. I embrace a wide range of quality repertoire, in many languages and styles. I encourage and assist in my student's selection of a variety of appropriate songs and arias: sacred, secular, and popular. I believe that for a singer to reach their highest potential they must feel safe, secure, and valued. The best performances come from knowing what you do well, while continuing to strengthen weaknesses.

Expertise/Specialty: I give my students a solid technical foundation and they soon realize that their vocal potential is greater then they thought, and they are able to sing music that they could not sing before. My students are able to see results within the first three lessons.
Musical Styles Taught: Classical, Musical Theatre, Pop, Rock, Other
Education: A Magna Cum Laude graduate , I recieved a Bachelor of Music (voice major/opera minor) and a Master of Music dergees from The University of Michigan School of Music in Ann Harbor, Michigan. I continued my voice studies: in the Swedish/ Italian School of Singing, repertoire coaching, foreign language and diction study, acting and dance training in the United States and in Europe.

I am a voice teacher and performer living in Manhattan. As an experienced teacher, I have always suggested to my students, that through the comprehensive private vocal training with me, they will discover their own voice type and be able to use their voices to express the style of music that they love and that they feel vocally comfortable doing it. My technique is based on the Swedish/ Italian School of Singing. A very important part of the lesson time is also given to thorough musical preperation for auditions and performances, dramatic interpretation of the music, diction and language skills, and the understanding and the use of the unification of the voice, mind, and body. I have successfully taught injured voices, and I have taught all voice types, beginners to professionals from age 12 on. I believe that if a student has one particular problem that is keeping the voice from functioning in a healthy and efficient manner such as, bad breathe management in singing or how to sing dramatically with out pushing, this problem should be addressed in the lesson immediately. My students never leave my studio vocally strained, vocally tired, stressed or physcologically defeated and I guarantee that there will be a significant improvement in a student's understanding of singing immediately.

My students have performed in the following Concert Halls: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center Concert Halls (Alice Tully Hall, Avery Fisher Hall), Merkin Hall, Circle in The Square Theater School, etc....... Musicals: Theaters des Westens, Berlin/Cabaret, Williams Center in Lynhurst, NJ/ Broadway Bound Organization for the exceptionally talented young performing artist, Broadway Theaters and National Tours......Opera Houses: Berlin, Saarbrucken, Bielefeld, Kiel, Conneticut Opera, Boston Opera, Washington Opera, Metropolitan Opera Studio, New Opera Festival of Rome in association with Festival d'Roma......Festivals , Orchestras, Competitions, and Television: Michael Jackson Concert on CBS (Nov, 2001), Variety-The Children's Charity Telethon on Pax TV. My studio is located near Lincoln Center and is convenient to all means of transportation.

Alice Smith, a student of mine since 2001, was nominated for a Grammy Award this season: her current CD on the SONY-EPIC label is "For Lovers, Dreamers & Me".
