——use your breath and body more efficiently, so you don’t feel tired or quickly out-of-breath as you sing

 

 

——unleash the rich timbre and power of your voice

 

 

——expand your vocal range—higher and lower, greater drama or sweetness of tone, or the range of music you feel comfortable singing

 

 

——and, most importantly, feel confidence in your voice and your singing!

 

 

I’m [...]]]> Do you love to sing? Would you like to learn to improve your singing technique? In the Boston area? Learn to:

 

 

 

  • ——use your breath and body more efficiently, so you don’t feel tired or quickly out-of-breath as you sing

 

 

  • ——unleash the rich timbre and power of your voice

 

 

  • ——expand your vocal range—higher and lower, greater drama or sweetness of tone, or the range of music you feel comfortable singing

 

 

  • ——and, most importantly, feel confidence in your voice and your singing!

 

 

I’m excited to offer voice lessons in the heart of Brighton, Massachusetts. I’m an operatic baritone who has performed opera, classical song (“Lied”), musical theater and chazzanut internationally, as well as having taught private students in New York, Connecticut and Germany.

 

Learn to sing the music you love—classical, musical theater/jazz/pop, or the music of synagogue worship. It would be my pleasure to help you (or your child preparing for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah!) improve your singing for davening; I have taught voice lessons to rabbinical students looking to develop their voices for leading congregations, and I have served as the High Holiday Chazzan at Congregation B’nai Torah in Trumbull, CT. You can read about my work as a singer and watch videos of performances.

 

My vocal technique is based on one, essential principle: ease. Singing that feels easy and relaxed is singing that you enjoy and that sounds best. We’ll work to use your voice efficiently and simply so that you can simply relax and enjoy letting your voice free.

 

Call or e-mail to set up a 30-minute consultation lesson at no charge. I’m looking forward to hearing (from) you!

He recently returned to the United States after three-years’ sojourn in Europe, where he continued his study of the classical song repertoire at the Hochschüle für Musik in Karlsruhe, Germany. On the operatic stage, Fein has been seen as Bob in Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief, and previously as the Proprietor in Sondheim’s Assassins, Willy in the world orchestral premiere of Hoiby’s This is the Rill Speaking, and L’horloge comtoise in Ravel’s L’enfant et les Sortileges.

THrough his production company, The Vox Populi, Fein has sought to create new modes of classical song performance. Previous presentations with The Vox Populi have included Songs at an Exhibition I and II, pairing songs with poetry and paintings as one might pair the courses of a meal with wines (pairing songs with wines is an exciting future possibility); Say it with Music, a musical journey from early-20th century England across the Atlantic to early-20th Century America; and performances of the great song cycles Die Schöne Müllerin by Franz Schubert and Die Schöne Magelone by Johannes Brahms, with English narration. Fein is also director of The Vox POpuli’s ongoing project to create art-song music videos, examples of which can be found at The Vox Populi website.

Joshua Fein has appeared in masterclasses taught by such notables as Udo Reinemann, Mitsuko Shirai, Hartmut Höll, Peter Schreier, Julia Varady and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. His teachers have included Donald Litaker, Robert Swensen, Constance Chase and the late Pasquale Pappano.
