Introduction: Working with me you will learn a simple and clear method of singing. Natural, easy and comfortable. What you will learn is appropriate for all ages and both sexes. For half of the lesson we work on technique and for the second half, repertoire, both classical and music theater. If needed I am proficient in the diction of Italian, French and German.
My singers have appeared in most of the major and minor opera companies in the United States... including the Metropolitan and NY City Opera. They have also appeared in many of the opera theaters of Europe. I have had Fulbright students coming to me from Europe and going to Europe and Scandinavia. Helping people develop their voices is a joy not only for the student, but also to me. As a recommendation one of my former students wrote a recommendation to a friend..."Joan could teach a stone how to sing"... I haven't tried that as yet, and don't think I will. But for the pleasure of singing, and good hard work learning... I am the voice teacher for you. I also work on vocal projection as it is appropriate for acting.
