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.

I offer a supportive personal approach to the art of singing. My vocal technique stems from the Italian Bel Canto style. I believe in building a voice from the bottom up. Learn to incorporate a mental awareness and physicality needed in developing diaphragmatic breath support skills. Learn how to sing freely and beautifully with improved vocal power and resonance, expand your range and dynamics, strengthen and integrate the vocal registers (chest, mixed, head), acquire vocal ease through flexibility and confidence while you sing. Enhance your musicality through personalized coaching on song repertoire: musical interpretation, characterization, language, diction, melody and translations.

The many years of singing professionally in opera and Broadway have given me a clear understanding of the vocal demands and pitfalls associated with a professional career. I provide my students with a clear understanding of vocal health and production, integrating the major principles of the mind and body so that the two work together in total cooperation and release.

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.

I prefer to be contacted by phone rather than e-mail. Thank you.

My vast experience of over 35 years as an opera singer,singing leading roles as a soprano, with some of the world's most renown singers such as; Pavarotti, Di Stefano,Sordello, Jerome Hines,Samuel Remy and others in Europe and USA, has enabled me to teach and guide young aspiring singers to reach stardom. My approach during the teaching process is, very individual. Each student has different issues needed to be addressed that require a different approach than other students. In fact, it works. The technique which I acquired during my career I now pass on to my students. Some of my students perform in opera houses in America and Europe. In addition to teaching, I am also the Music director of the, "Lyric Opera Of New Jersey" and have connections in the music world and artist's agents, that benefit my students. I had a studio in NYC. in the Lincoln Center area for 25 years, and a year ago I closed it and open my studio in Englewood NJ which is just minutes away from the city. My students who come from all over prefer to come to Jersey for the more relaxing enviroment.
