Voice Mastery: Advanced Techniques for Opera and Contemporary Singers

I am an experienced opera singer and vocal teacher with a profound academic background and a rich history of working with some of the most renowned figures in the world of music. I earned my Master’s Degree with honours from the National Music Academy of Ukraine. I also had the privilege of taking lessons with Seth Riggs, one of the world’s leading vocal coaches, who has worked with famous artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Barbra Streisand.

I have further refined my skills at prestigious institutions, including the Vienna Opera Academy in Austria, the Georg Solti Accademia in Castiglione Della Pescaia, Italy, where I was mentored by legendary mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry and celebrated soprano Barbara Frittoli. Additionally, I finished my training at the Lotte Lehmann Akademie in Perleberg, Germany, working with world-class voice teachers and conductors from some of the leading opera houses around the world.

I have performed for Hollywood celebrities in Italy and for Ukrainian presidents and foreign diplomats at political events in Kyiv, Ukraine. I have taken part in prestigious music festivals, including the Morellino Classical Festival in Tuscany, Italy, and the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music in Austria. I also participated in the first-year GSA program for alumni in Castiglione Della Pescaia, Italy, and the Solti-Peretti program in Venice, Italy.

I have thoroughly studied all the esteemed vocal literature in five languages, which, along with my studies in vocal technique, allows me to provide a deeply informed and effective approach to singing.

As a teacher, I believe in accelerating the development of my students. While it typically takes 10 years to become a professional singer, I achieve the same results in just 2 years, helping my students develop their skills much faster than the usual approach.

I work with a wide range of vocal issues, including:
• Trouble with range, breath control, tone production
• Vocal strain, voice fatigue, and issues with high notes
• Psychological difficulties related to performing and using the voice
• Difficulty with transitions, voice cracks, and loss of voice during speech or singing
• Problems with pitch accuracy, foreign accents in foreign languages, and resonance
• And many other challenges of any level of severity.

I currently teach students who are well-known jazz performers in New York and along the entire eastern American coast. Additionally, I provide voice training to Protestant pastors and kirtanists who have become well-known singers in their communities in the USA, Canada, and India.

If you feel you’re struggling with your voice or technique, I can help you. Together, we will address your challenges and make your vocal dreams a reality.

Let’s make your voice extraordinary!

Extra information

Here’s how I recommend you set up Zoom for our vocal lessons to ensure the best sound quality and experience:

1. Use the Best Audio Settings
• First, go to “Settings” in Zoom (click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the Zoom desktop app, then select “Settings”).
• Under Audio Settings:
• Make sure to enable “Show in-meeting option to ‘Enable Original Sound’ from microphone”. This will let you turn off noise cancellation and automatic gain control during our lessons.
• Turn off “Automatically adjust microphone volume”, as this can interfere with the clarity of your voice.
• Enable “Original Sound”: This will allow for uncompressed audio, so your voice sounds natural and clear.

2. Activate “Original Sound” During the Meeting
• Once we are in the meeting, click on the “Turn on Original Sound” button in the upper-left corner of the Zoom window. This ensures that Zoom doesn’t apply any audio filters that could distort your voice.

3. Select the Best Microphone
• In your Zoom settings, make sure you’ve selected the best microphone available. Using a good USB microphone or condenser microphone will give you much clearer sound compared to the built-in microphone on your laptop.

4. Use Headphones
• Please use headphones during our lessons. This helps prevent feedback from the speakers and ensures I can hear you more clearly.

5. Adjust Your Speaker Volume
• Make sure your speaker volume is adjusted properly to avoid distortion. It should be loud enough for you to hear me clearly, but not so loud that it interferes with the microphone.

6. Optimize Your Video Settings
• For better clarity, go to Video settings (Settings → Video) and select HD video. This helps if I need to demonstrate techniques or body posture.

7. Test Before Our Lesson
• It’s a good idea to test all the settings by doing a vocalization with someone in a Zoom meeting beforehand. If you can sing for a couple of seconds straight and the sound is not suppressed, everything should be working properly. This way, you’ll be sure that all settings are correct and we won’t waste time on technical difficulties during the lesson.

Following these steps will help us get the best sound quality for our lessons and make the experience much smoother!

Experience / Qualifications

I can answer any (!!!) questions directly or indirectly related to singing. I will create a perfect system for understanding your voice, human physiology, and the physics of sound.

The deep theory is supported by demonstrations of the human voice’s capabilities, such as connecting registers from contralto to tenor notes in the second octave, perfect messa di voce (crescendo-diminuendo), and experimenting with different timbres across the entire range. This enables singing with various vocal types, vocal agility when singing 16th notes in presto tempo, and much more.

Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!

Opera Singing / Kids Vocality: pro Italian Opera Singer with decades of experience on stage
Hello! I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m an opera singer, currently actively performing in the contemporary field :) On top of my artistic career, which is now 20+ years old, I have 10 years of solid everyday experience in the musical teaching field, with particular regards for online teaching. My specialties are: teaching opera voice and kids’ vocality. For both of these, any level, even absolute beginner is 100% welcome! I’ve been training children and teens ever since I graduated from my position at La Scala children choir at 18 years old. I love working with kids, and it warms my heart to think of how many little faces I have already had the privilege of meeting thanks to this career. I have helped so many access to the children choirs of their respective cities, and with so many many others I have simply participated in their musical learning journey, which makes me equally proud and happy. Teaching adults is a completely different matter, of course, but it’s probably even more thrilling to me because it allows me to spend the day navigating the fascinating routes of lyrical singing technique. I know how opera studies can be confusing - to say the least; I try my best to represent a safe place for anybody who wants to explore this ancient form of art, as well as to clarify its key points and guide my students to building a correct repertoire. I give lessons for any kind of purpose: - learning music - improving musicality - preparing an audition - finding our own voice - overcoming insecurity Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience. Music is life and life is fun! If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you! During the trial lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already. I can’t wait to meet you!

Voice Lessons for Young/Inexperienced Singers - Classically Focused
These lessons are for young and/or inexperienced singers. My lesson plans are tailored towards students' individual goals. For some, this may be learning and embodying an audition song for their school's upcoming theater performance, and for others voice lessons are a first step towards singing healthily in their church choir. In any case, I focus on correcting and building core skills necessary to singing one's best while encouraging and fostering creativity, accountability, and motivation. If considered for a long-term journey towards singing, I will focus particularly on classical techniques to build steady breath control, good posture, and proper vowel and consonant formation. Along with providing repertoire, if the student is ready and wants, there will be opportunities for vocal performance in the Santa Cruz area. I will encourage audio recordings in all lessons to help with future preparations. I will be assigning some homework after every lesson, likely a combination of vocalization exercises, dedicated sheet music practice, and theory homework (if needed). *My first lesson will involve getting to know the student, their goals, and some vocalization to assess vocal level. For singers with minimal/no prior foundational music theory knowledge, I may recommend time from lessons (15-30 minutes) being allocated solely towards foundational music theory learning.

Lessons are customized to align with your musical interests and objectives. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out, I´d be happy to connect and discuss how we can get started.
