ABOUT VOICE LESSONS: I teach the classic Bel Canto voice technique in the English language as applicable to the musical theater and other popular styles. Generally, I use the classic repertoire of American Musical theater such as the music of Rogers and Hammerstein, Leonard Bernstein and others of that ilk. I try to give students a historical knowledge of Broadway material as well as keeping up with contemporary offerings.
