We're always out and about on the web keeping an eye out for sites of interest to classical singers, singing students and those wishing to gain a deeper understanding of songs, and we recently came across the very inspiring An Art Song a Day blog whose creator, Baritone Paul Hindemith, is a Minneapolis-based singer and teacher who has performed in opera, operetta, musical theatre, oratorio, and recital settings.

Through his blog, Paul set out to help students absorb and perform the songs more effectively by developing a deeper understanding of both the lyrics and context. He holds a doctorate in Voice Performance from the University of Minnesota, where his doctoral thesis was entitled The Singer as Communicator. We really liked what he was doing, so we asked him if we could get to know him a little bit better...

As we've been producing our singers' rehearsal tracks over the last few years, we've had lots of contact from people all over the world who enjoy singing for pleasure. One such person was Dorothy Haswell: I'm 70 years old - have sung all my life and still study with a teacher - I sing all sorts of music - classical with my teacher, 'shape note' with a local group and popular (1st half of 20th century) with a band for whom I also play bass guitar,' she wrote.

 She sounded such a lot like our kind of girl, we decided to delve a little deeper, and asked her to share some of her passions with us. So Dorothy, tell us a little more about your lifelong love affair with singing...

Since we began nearly two years ago, we've had the privilege of getting to know many singers and voice teachers from all over the world. One of the first to find us was Joseph Moras - a voice teacher from South-west India who now lives in Dubai. We asked him if he would share some of his expertise with us and tell us a little more about his musical life and work...

We're delighted to introduce bass-baritone Armon Golliday. Currently a member of the Dallas Opera Chorus, this season sees his solo debut in their staging of Puccini's La Bohème. On the 7th of December, he'll be performing as a featured soloist in Ralph Vaughan Williams Hodie, part of the Highlander Concert Series.

Studying voice in Berlin with Janice and Jonathan Alder must be quite a change from being home in Wales for tenor, Efan Williams. Efan's home is the village of Lledrod, not far from Aberystwyth, tucked between the majestic Cambrian Mountains and beautiful coastline of Cardigan Bay.

Heather Knowles is a mezzo-soprano who has been coaching private voice and piano students in Las Vegas since 2001. Her award winning students of all ages certainly keep her busy, but she found time to tell us a bit about herself, her work and how to make the most of your voice.
