"If children are not introduced to music at an early age, something fundamental is actually being taken from them. Music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion.”
-Luciano Pavarotti
We are on a journey to share musical experiences that can never be found in any textbook, but only lived and treasured in our hearts for a lifetime! As a graduate of Duquesne University’s School of Music, my formal vocal training began with my two greatest mentors, legendary Claudia Pinza, and Luciano Pavarotti, when I began college. Claudia Pinza, daughter of legendary, great operatic basso, Ezio Pinza, became my beloved vocal coach for years to come. Being trained by one of the master vocal legends in the world, Claudia Pinza, sealed my fate, that I too would become a vocal coach, for now over thirty years.
Claudia’s invaluable "Bel Canto" vocal instruction and love for the arts, stirred every part of me to teach, for all of my life!
