Teaching Philosophy

Diana Cantrelle’s Artemis Voice Studios

What is this quest,this elusive perfection that we seek?  Can it, like a fluttering bird,
be held in our hands for all time?  Or is it in the process, the journey, the Zen, in the doing that we happen upon these elusive, divine moments of truth, beauty… the glorious success of mastering a new skill.

Studying voice is like a traveler embarking on a voyage with limitless horizons.   One must be open to new adventures, have courage to try new things, step out of one’s comfort zone and be hungry for knowledge.

My job as a teacher is to be your guide.  I draw upon yoga (breath support, posture, relaxation), acting techniques (Stanislavsky, Hagen, Meisner) and solid conservatory vocal pedagogy, so that no matter what style of music, your technique will be healthy and your true voice will ring forth.

Education –Masters in Voice Performance/Vocal Pedagogy from Peabody Conservatory of Music with minor Composition Studies – complete resume can be found on the main website.

Be free to be bold, daring, make mistakes, work hard and grow in a non-judgmental, safe atmosphere full of laughter, diligence and care.
