Meredith Bloomfield
Voice Studio
I am a professional opera singer and voice teacher, with degrees from Manhattan School of Music, The Pennsylvania State University and the Voice Study Centre at University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I developed an early interest in teaching and pedagogy, and completed all of the available coursework in Vocal Pedagogy during my Bachelor's degree at Penn State. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned to my studies remotely to complete a Postgraduate Certificate with the Voice Study Centre, where my research focused on efficiency of resonance and working with singers with dramatic voices.
As a performer, I specialize in opera and concert repertoire, particularly the dramatic repertoire of Wagner, Strauss, Verdi and Puccini. I also have extensive experience singing Mozart roles. I love singing recitals and programming song literature from a wide range of styles and periods. Some favorite recent performances have included the roles of Puccini's Tosca, Leonore in Beethoven's Fidelio, Brünnhilde in Die Walküre and Senta in Der fliegende Holländer.
I am comfortable working with students of all ages on classical, operatic and musical theater styles. With beginning students, we will start by working with the fundamentals of healthy singing, particularly discovering how to use the breath and support the voice. With more advanced singers, we will focus on developing a tool box of technical knowledge that can be applied to any repertoire we come across. I can coach German, Italian, French and English diction and pronunciation, as well as dramatic interpretation and character development in the context of full roles, arias and songs. I will help you prepare thoroughly for your performances and auditions, but most importantly we will have fun and find joy and freedom in our singing!
