Specialties
Welcome to the daCorneto Opera Studio in Chicago! I teach students at all levels; beginner to professional. I take great pride in making every student in my studio a priority. Every session in the studio is geared toward establishing and maintaining a healthy, reliable, solid technique. The first half of the lesson is devoted to a variety of breath support and vocalization exercises. The second half is devoted to repertoire preparation and study. The main focus of the studio is to help all students discover their true vocal potential and fix any major vocal problems, should they exist.
