She loves singing for the pure joy of it, and for the study of voice as a true art form.

Some of her favorites are Ave Maria, Franz Schubert; Ave Maria, Bach Gounod; and Panis Angelicus, Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Donna has been an instructor for decades, teaching beginner to professional voice instruction, voice coaching, composition, and songwriting.

Donna started teaching voice lessons, songwriting, and guitar lessons in her late teens. She continued as a voice instructor throughout her college years while working full time in finance and business management. Donna began classical voice studies with her first voice instructor, Paula Carroll, who was the church Choir Director at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Scituate, Massachusetts. Paula Carroll’s beautiful voice, expertise, kindness, and support instilled her with a great respect and love for the art of singing and sacred music, and sparked an inspiration to one day become a voice instructor. The inspiration continued with voice studies into adulthood and singing in church choirs most of her life. Donna enjoys singing every day and finds she learns something wonderfully new each day. She believes in embracing humility in learning so we continue to grow, and strive toward excellence in our chosen careers. Her years of experience, daily practice, and voice studies have built a strong foundation of knowledge she loves to share with others. She has dedicated years in professional classical voice studies, popular voice methods, private instruction, professional expert courses, performance, and college education majoring in music. Additional studies include business, fine art, and literature.

Some of the factors that helped shape her own unique voice methods include a vast knowledge of vocal techniques and custom vocal scales, specialized vocalises and breathing exercises, and a custom blend of popular voice techniques combined with Italian classical and Latin sacred music. She is blessed with an ear to hear your voice in fine detail from your strengths to areas to build upon, all while preserving and enhancing your natural, unique voice.
