Nicola Vaccai
Italian Composer, Voice Teacher, Author
“I have learned from long experience … that few if any who desire to sing for their own pleasure love the idea of undertaking long exercises … I therefore thought of devising one … a completely new kind, short, pleasurable, and useful, through which the goal may be reached with equal certainty, and in less time.” -Nicola Vaccai
Marlena Malas
Opera Singer & Renowned Classical Voice Teacher
“Sometimes when I hear somebody and I think, yeah, the voice is damaged or the voice is not ready yet but there’s something. There’s a story that they tell. There’s a journey that they take me on and I’m much more interested in that than someone who can come in and really has a wonderful voice… but that says nothing with it. – Marlena Malas
