I’ve been a private studio voice teacher
for over twenty five years and I've also taught voice at the college/university
level. My teaching philosophy is "Figure out what works for this
individual student, because singing is not a one-size-fits-all sort of
activity".
"Colla voce" is Italian for "with the voice". It
is often seen in the piano part where the singer might take some liberty - a
cadenza inserted or a dramatic stretch to the phrase.
I've tried to put things on the website that are of interest
to voice students, especially beginning and intermediate singers. Others
of you may also find useful information or links here. FAQs about Voice
Lessons is everything (well, not everything) you ever wanted to know
about studying voice, if you've never tried it. A number of topics are
covered in the Articles, such as stage fright, Alexander Technique, vocal
health, breathing and others. If you are doing research or interested in
reading further, Resources is a collection of book titles and web links on
various aspects of singing. Take a look at Essential Repertoire and
Vocal Exercises to find
books and vocalises that I use in my teaching.
Suggested Listening is mostly a list of my favorite singers, and Studio Notes
has information about studio events for my students.
While I cannot take requests for lessons by email, please feel free to write to me with questions or comments. I can be contacted

Thanks for visiting Colla Voce!
