MaryJean's voice students have improved tremendously by applying
the principles from her What Every Musician Needs to Know
About the Body workshop. Her voice students have won top
awards at the local, state, and regional National Association
of Teachers of Singing Student Auditions. Several of MaryJean's voice students are
currently singing in professional opera or musical theatre productions.
Certified
as an Andover Educator by Barbara Conable, MaryJean has taught
the What Every Musician… workshop to singers, voice teachers,
choral directors, pianists, piano teachers, and other instrumentalists
in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Missouri.
A
specialist in art song, MaryJean holds a Master of Music and
an Artist Diploma in vocal performance, with a minor in piano
performance. She performed leading roles in opera and operetta
in five states, and was competitively selected to sing in
two Art Song Festivals, coaching with Dalton Baldwin, Elly
Ameling, Gerard Souzay, and others. Her most recent orchestral
engagement was with Maryland's Columbia Pro Cantare, singing
the soprano solos for Mozart's Grand Mass in C Minor, and
Zelenka's Miserere.
MaryJean wrote two articles for NATS Internos suggesting methods
for teachers to improve critique writing, and the benefits
of adjudication. MaryJean continues to study voice with Dr.
Karen Peeler, and studies Body Mapping and Alexander Technique
with Barbara Conable.

Practical Realities!
"Your
approach really effervesced; practical realities presented
with enthusiasm and clearly articulated with practical
applications. I felt that your pacing of the materials
was excellent!
I must say that I felt as refreshed at the end of the
day as I had in the beginning. Your use of materials
was terrific (the slides, the balls, the rollers, everything)."
- Patty Weis, Professor of Music
University of Concordia, Wisconsin
Wonderful!
"Your
workshop was wonderful! Well presented, great information,
a warm
personality and a good combination of lecture and experiences
for us to try.
The students responded to you so well. I don't think I
could ever hear this
information enough. I need to hear it over and over."
- Dr. Sarah Holman, Professor of Voice
Wheaton College Conservatory of Music Wheaton, Illinois
