Thomas Cooley, Voice Teacher
About
I am an internationally renowned opera and concert singer offering training at all levels for people who want to better their classical singing. Attention to proper technique, diction and expression will allow your natural voice to bloom and develop. My 25 years of maintaining a high level career, and my world wide experiences have given me the skills to help you develop and polish your singing.
I am a natural teacher. I love sharing my knowledge with others. While Baroque music is my great love, I have had experience in every genre of classical music from Medieval to 21st century music.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
With new students, I love to evaluate each individual voice, first through their singing of a piece for me, but then to work on vocalises and technical exercises which help me determine a singer's skill, flexibility and level of openness to learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.M from DePauw University in Vocal Performance, M.M. from the University of Minnesota and an Artist's Diploma from the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich. I have worked with master teachers Rudoph Piernay,Gerald Martin Moore and Margo Garrett as well as with world renowned conductors such as Teodor Currentzis, Nicholas McGegan, Helmuth Rilling, Donald Runnicles, Robert Spano, David Robertson and Bernard Labadie.
