If you are wondering why singing with Dessoff is so important to me, well, there is the director, there is the music, there is the level of expertise and expectation, and… there is the snack table, that is sooo much more than just snacks. Thank you for making the break so cheerful!!

When I say that I am currently reading Middlemarch, people are invariably asking “Did you get to Rome yet?” Well, I am in Rome now and, do I understand the question. Not only can everybody probably relate to this extreme internal loneliness but nobody ever expressed it like Eliot. I can read this page over and over again.

I can't help myself!!
This is what one of my students answered, when I asked about her studio recording session on Friday.
Needless to say, I am HAPPY. One more mission accomplished. 💪

PS: your one hour lessons can be split in two 30 minutes warm ups, that you can take on the day of a recording session, or when you're on tour, the day of a show.

I just spent the two most amazing days with two of the most amazing ladies in our field ( ). And I will share more soon as I keep processing the wealth of knowledge they shared with us and we all shared with each other.
