History

I am a graduate of the Merola Opera Program of San Francisco Opera and have had extensive experience as a singer with the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, Goldovsky Grand Opera Theater (NY City), New York City Opera Theater, Eastern Opera Theater (Baltimore Opera), Marin Opera, Pocket Opera and was section leader in the 7th Army Soldiers' Chorus, Heidelberg, German. $105.00 for 55 min. lesson
Specialties
After traveling more than the circumference of the world on one tour, in addition to thousands of miles touring around Germany, Belgium & Holland as section leader of the 7th Army Soldiers' Chorus, not to mention other touring experiences of learning my way around the stage, I'm excited to develop a singing studio of intermediate to advanced to professional voice students who want to learn the joy of singing. Participating in the highly respected Merola Opera Program of San Francisco Opera, as well as Yale Summer School of Music & Art and a couple workshops with Ann Baltz founder of OperaWorks, I think I'm ready to impart my skills in private voice lessons. Among operatic experiences were singing two roles with Boris Goldovsky Grand Opera Theater out of New York City as well as other regional opera theaters. Oratorio and my current Richard Fey, a Classical Cabaret have kept me involved and excited to be singing. So, if you're interested in studying with me which includes occasional group classes/performances which will be enhanced by a future membership in the NATS by me [National Assoc. of Teachers of Singing], please contact me with the you contact information. In my lessons we work on repertoire selected by both of us in various styles, musical theater, classical, opera, etc. I focus on a strong technique in addition to theatrical and methods of expressing oneself on stage; a clear tone, presence and using one's body are critical.
