Students
Young Students, Adult Beginners, and Advanced Singers
Young Students:
Students are welcome to begin voice training at twelve years of age. (Special exceptions are made for young students who are already singing professionally or in their communities).
Adult Beginner:
Mimi O’Neill welcomes the adult beginner. It is often the case that after we are established in our lives and careers, we are inspired to explore music and singing. Often this is purely for our own pleasure and satisfaction - or to fulfill a calling for something further. In any case, Mimi O’Neill enjoys helping individuals find and develop their voices!
Advanced Singers:
Singers who have sung and trained for may years are also welcome to study with Mimi O’Neill. The renewal and revival of one’s vocal technique, the exploration of diverse musical genres, including jazz, or popular, or the deepening of one’s classical and operatic repertoire, and the expansion and improvement of one’s performing presentation, are all subjects Mimi O’Neill pursues with advanced students.
Recitals and Student Performances
Mimi O’Neill offers student recitals and other performances in her large, historic, townhouse studio space in Albany, NY. These performance events offer singers the opportunity to perform in a safe and nurturing environment. Performances are enjoyable and eclectic events, where one might hear several operatic arias, a German Lied or an aria of Bach, an Irish song, some tunes of Kurt Weill or Steven Sondheim, the jazz of George Gershwin or Harold Arlen, some Broadway tunes, and an original offering for guitar and voice. Friends and family of students are invited and a reception follows the musical offerings. Mimi O’Neill feels strongly that students need the opportunity to try out and develop their performing abilities outside of the public arena.
