Ì VOCAL INSTRUCTOR
Carey Goldenberg, a native of Tampa, Florida, graduated from the University of Miami Frost School of Music with a BM in Vocal Performance. While pursuing her degree, she was a member of the Frost Chorale and performed several leading roles with Frost Opera Theatre, such as Polly in Benjamin Britten’s The Beggar’s Opera and Mag in Richard Wargo’s new opera, Ballymore: Part 1 Winners. Carey participated in the Bay Area Summer Opera Theatre Institute in 2010, performing L’Eternita in Cavalli’s La Calisto, the First Spirit and Papagena in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and scenes from Don Giovanni and Arabella. In addition to singing classical music, Carey enjoys accompanying herself on guitar to original arrangements of folk, pop and jazz music. After receiving her undergraduate degree, she discovered her love and need for working with people, which led her to her training and certification in Music Together®, Suzuki, and Orff techniques. Carey teaches early childhood music with the Suzuki-Orff School of Music, where she primarily works in outreach programs in Chicago Public Schools. In addition to teaching, she currently performs with the Apollo Chorus of Chicago and the Chicago Choral Artists. Carey is thrilled to call Chicago her new home.
Carey's individualistic teaching approach encourages each student to pursue the joy of making music with a healthy, comfortable sound. Carey focuses on technical elements of the voice including vocal production, breath support, intonation and resonance, in addition to elements of musicality, including phrasing, musical interpretation/ translation and stage presence. She is well versed in classical and operatic repertoire, but equally enjoys teaching other styles, such as jazz, folk and musical theatre. Students can expect to receive a strong technical foundation, in addition to being challenged musically and artistically. Carey currently works with students ages 10-18.
