Michelle Kei I., a soprano of Japanese and American heritage, "uses her strong dramatic soprano to slice through the orchestra" in a varied repertoire that encompasses Verismo to Broadway. Possessing a captivating stage presence and praised as "superb," "gifted," and a "constant breakaway from the rest of the vocal pack," she has entertained audiences on stages around the world. Those are the first two sentences of my professional biography. I thought I'd use them to get the ball rolling.
Ever since I can remember, I've always been a performer. I come from a very musical family. I was always singing! I sang at home, in church, in show-choir a

Sheer technique is necessary but insufficient to play an instrument well. Aural skills, that include the study of functional tonality and voice-leading are important factors that impart musicality. This is of great import if the prospective musician wants the audience to truly enjoy his or her performance!

During the past 28 years, I have been fortunate to acquire a solid background in vocal technique thanks to the many teachers I have worked with and my own passion to continuously learn more about this art.
Many come to me without having been shown how to use their bodies as 'support' for their sound. Without learning this step, singing becomes hopelessly frustrating. Most teachers are unaware of how to coordinate the various parts of the vocal instrument to obtain freedom in singing. Once my students feel this coordination, progress begins rapidly. I am successful in my teaching because I get resuts.
