Dear Atarah,
It has been such an absolute delight to meet you and to begin down the road of studying singing with you. I am so happy and excited to be working with someone who worked so closely with Carl Stough, as I find his work with breathing so compelling, so powerful. I am also glad that I could bring you a way to access a copy of his book online. It is a book well worth reading.
From when I first spoke with you on the phone, I could hear in your voice something very special. Your speaking voice has a fullness and roundness that also is comforting. Since having just 3 lessons, I can feel changes in my own voice. And it is giving me such joy not only my discovery of singing (as I am not a singer, but someone interested in learning to sing) but also I am enjoying talking.
I feel a strength and connection in my voice that is new and empowering. I am excited to see where it will go. It's amazing how my voice has changed in such a short amount of time.
Remarkable, Enjoyable, Beautiful!!
Thank you!!
Amy

Tenor Adam Harris sings an excerpt "Un aura amorosa" (Mozart)
Tenor Adam Harris has performed in numerous venues across the country such as Santa Fe Opera, Chautauqua Opera, San Francisco Lyric Opera, Caramoor Festival, Phoenix Sympthony, l'Opera Francais Du New York to name a few. Adam is a graduate of the Julliard School, and holds a Master's degree from the Eastman School of Music.
I'm so glad to have found Atarah Hazzan as my voice teacher. Over the relatively short period I've worked with Atarah, she partners with me on the singing journey and continually leads me to ever greater versions of my voice. Drawing on her experience as a leading soprano at the Metropolitan Opera and other leading opera houses of the world, as well as her intuition and deft insight into the vocal mechanism, she has a way of getting inside my singing technique and guiding me to overcome obstacles. The breakthroughs are real and amazing!
