Teaching Info
Olga has extensive experience in vocal teaching for both adults and children, taking an individual approach to each student. English is her second language, but she has extensive experience in teaching foreign students outside Russia. Her teaching of vocal technique is accompanied by vocal demonstration and also focuses on presentation. She will determine each student’s type of voice, identify their range, select songs, and grow their voice. Each lesson will open up new possibilities for the student’s voice through exercises, including the secrets of sound production. She will prepare students for admission to an academic music course, or for a solo concert, as well as helping with Italian pronunciation, style, and artistry.
