Performance Resources

International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) is a great resource for free scores.  The scores are out of copyright and uploaded by the classical music community at large.

Sheet Music Direct is a superb online music store where you can find music of all genres.  You can order hard copies of scores sent via post or choose to download them for use with an ipad application of your choice or print them for instant hard copies.

forScore is my digital score application of choice for storing and transporting music.

LyriBox is a small catalogue of opera arias with English translations, diction coaching, and accompaniments.  Contact them via the website to tell them how much you love their work so they keep the project alive!

American Songbook, Opera

Great American Songbook Channel on YouTube

275 tracks and 14 hours of music on Spotify representing the best, most influential composers from the 20th century and their songs. 
Ranging from broadway musicals to Hollywood films and theater stages, this list has all the big names! Among the composers are Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers/Hammerstein and George/Ira Gershwin and we hear the songs performed by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Billie Holliday, Judy Garland, Ray Charles, Bessie Smith and many others. 

The Metropolitan Opera is a vibrant home for the most creative and talented artists, including singers, conductors, composers, orchestra musicians, stage directors, designers, visual artists, choreographers, and dancers from around the world. Known as the venue for the world’s greatest voices, the Met has been under the musical direction of James Levine since 1976.

The Royal Opera, under the direction of Antonio Pappano, is one of the world’s leading opera companies. Based in the iconic Covent Garden theatre, it is renowned both for its outstanding performances of traditional opera and for commissioning new works by today’s leading opera composers, such as Harrison Birtwistle, Mark-Anthony Turnage and Thomas Adès.

Vocal Pedagogy and Research

Christ Church University in Canterbury has a whole research department dedicated to music and health.  Research studies are meticulously recorded on the website and are available for free to the public.

Memberships

British Voice Association - a group of multidisciplinary professionals who work to promote the field of voice in its broadest sense.

Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS) was founded in 1975 to promote a wider understanding of all aspects of the teaching of singing. The organization creates opportunities which bring together teachers from all over the world. All AOTOS activities and services are open to members specialising in teaching any expression of song: from classical, through music theatre and folk, to jazz, rock and gospel, either privately or in school, college or conservatoire.


Mind, Body, Spirit

Pilates  Anytime nurtures the same philosophy of mind, body, spirit as Cuckoo Studios.  Pilates Anytime is an online Pilates studio, delivering world-class instruction anywhere, anytime, and at an affordable price. Many people are unable to attend Pilates classes due to the lack of easy access to studios, schedule conflicts, and cost.  I have been a member for nearly two years and highly recommend it.

Soul Voice ® 
is a creative therapeutic voice and sound healing modality which explores the human voice into its ultimate depths and potential. Humans are resonant beings. Our voice will remember what we have forgotten. It reveals richness, aliveness and power, our light and dark sides. It carries any suppressed or painful memories and indicates our spiritual path. It is our vibrational blueprint and a living testimonial of who we are in soul essence.
