At SFCM, no singer is an island. 

In addition to their private studio teacher, vocalists have access to a whole community of coaches, collaborative pianists, and professors dedicated to creating the complete modern singer. These supportive educators are GRAMMY winners, veterans of the San Francisco Opera (and graduates of its Merola and Adler young opera singer training programs) and experienced performers on stages across the United States and the world.

SFCM's Voice program embraces a multi-genre approach grounded in classical technique. From veteran professionals with decades of onstage experience to educators focusing on cutting-edge science that informs our understanding of how the human voice works, when you step up to sing at the Conservatory—whatever the genre—you're in good hands.
