About Joanne
I have been teaching for 42 years, in my home studio, at Central Connecticut State University for 20 years, and at Westminster School in Simsbury, CT for 40 years . I was also the Artistic Director for the Ensign-Darling Vocal Fellowship at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford until COVID struck. I studied for 8 years with Phyllis Bryn-Julson and sang Beethoven's Missa solemnis with Robert Shaw in France. It is my goal to free up the natural voice and protect the larynx from misuse.
After College and while waitressing for 5 years, I started teaching piano and voice and discovered I liked to teach. I no longer teach piano lessons, but my expertise is really in singing.
I have a Bachelor of Music, summa cum laude from the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford, 8 years of study post-graduation with Phyllis Bryn-Julson, a cerficate from the Fontainebleau School of Music in France, and I have coached with Warren Jones and Thomas Grubb. I have had a career that enabled me to be hired to teach at a College with only a Bachelor Degree.

I start with an explanation of the actual mechanism and muscles involved in singing. As I explain I add exercises to work on positioning the muscles correctly and breathing techniques to support these postions.
I have worked with students who want to sing with less tension and expand their ranges in both Classical or Musical Theater genre. I have also worked with students who sing in bands and/or jazz clubs.
Look for a teacher who wants to teach you how it should feel rather than how it should sound. Creating sounds often involves muscles. You want to free your voice of muscles.
I just learned that all three of my students who auditioned for the Honors recital at Central Connecticut State University got in.
