Dante teaches by inspiring and empowering singers to be the best musicians, artists, and performers they can be, and always finding joy in the process. Aside from classical music, he loves singing and teaching pop, jazz, musical theatre, and r&b! Dante strives to create safe space for all varying levels of singers, and approaches each genre with his classical training background, building healthy singing techniques and habits. Come as you are!
