TEACHING METHOD
and PHILOSOPHY |
|
|
Our voice is the innate instrument that
nature has bestowed upon us; though for the average
person, the miraculous art of singing has been largely
lost over the millennia. Through the use of practical
exercises, you will become skilled in all of the main
techniques involved in creating beautiful vocal
sound. |
|
|
Together, our in-depth exploration of
vocal technique will take us through the many aspects
of producing sustained quality sound, including breath
management, the use of the mouth, diaphragm, larynx,
and other supporting muscle groups, the laws of
posture, performance techniques, interpretation of
repertoire styles, and others.

"Hello",
"Здравствуйте", "Ciao"
I am
Marla Volovna (Russian American), voice teacher/builder,
operatic mezzo-soprano and director of opera and musical
theatre.
It is my
pleasure to introduce you to the Volovna Vocal Studio method of
developing voices, which can be applied to any style of
singing, whether you are
a rocker or a classical
musician.
In my
early years, I studied
opera technique in Italy with the greatest Italian
teachers, the remnants of the
Bel Canto
technique of
singing. They include
Campo
Gagliani, Luigi Ricci, Sarah Corti, Valdamiro Badiali and
Maestro Tonini.
Due to poor training in the best conservatories in America
and Europe, my voice became
damaged.
I had the luck to discover and study with the great
Heldentenor,
Claude Heater, who taught me how to use my diaphragm and
that changed my life.

FAQ
Is it true that only
he who experiences the near ruination of his voice
AND GAINS IT BACK has the potential to become a
great teacher, and as some say a wounded healer?
