About Diane
I studied Vocal Performance at the University of Wisconsin - Madison (USA) and specialised in Early Music at the College of Performing Arts in Bremen, Germany as well as private seminars, and courses. I met Cornelius L. Reid, a well-known voice scholar and teacher of singing, in 1996 at a week-long seminar in Germany and continued to work with him in Germany and New York City for the next 11 years. His teachings inform my own work. I perform internationally, primarily medieval, baroque and other classical music. I love all styles of singing and am constantly learning to expand my knowledge and experience. To be placed on my waiting list (March 2025) please contact me at divadianepoetry on gmail.

Using Cornelius L. Reid's teachings of Functional Voice Training to inform my teaching, I can help you realise your passion and potential, or, if your voice has been damaged through overwork or illness, I can help! I have been teaching for 30 years and the work lends itself beautifully to beginners as well as experienced singers. A typical lesson is about 50 minutes to an hour, once a week. A word about Functional Voice Training: It is not a method, in which a prescribed set of exercises is worked through, but rather a way of working with a voice to strengthen, fix technical errors and free the voice to function easily and allow the singer more control as well as freedom to express themselves. The focus is on Pitch, Vowel, and Intensity (volume level), as well as legato (smooth) singing, and our conceptions of those things as a means to develop and control the voice. Learning to sing is something anyone/everyone can do! Learning to sing well, is a process that will allow you to express what is in your inmost being and give you wings on which to soar!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! I had the feeling that Diane could be my teacher since the first lesson! I like her approach, which is not only "technical", she also explain me "the why" of what we're covering in every lesson!
I feel also she's gradually unlocking the hidden potential inside me and she makes me feel I am not as bad as I thought at singing!
Definitely recommended!- See the response Diane :

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I am a relative newcomer to the world of singing and I reasoned that if I was learning to play a musical instrument I would be taking lessons and also, being of rather more mature years I was concerned that I might be losing notes in the upper register, the skills listed by Diane on her website appeared to fit the bill. I have been enjoying a weekly lesson since May 2024 and under Diane's tuition have been amazed at the capabilities of the male voice, at one stage I was singing in areas normally inhabited by counter tenors. As a second bass, this came as something as a surprise.
The sessions, one of the highlights of the week, consist of exercises, discussions about the theory of voice production and much mutual laughter, I am now considerably more confident in my singing and using techniques taught by Diane am able to reach all the notes in the bass register. I thoroughly recommend Diane as a voice coach.
I have been having lessons with Diane for a year and I am happy to recommend her and the Bel Canto technique to every singer who is seeking the best vocal instrument they could possibly have. I had experienced vocal issues in the past and as soon as I started having lessons with Diane it became clear why that was so!
Diane is patient, positive and will always craft your lessons in a very personal way. There is no 'One size fits all' blanket approach with the Bel Canto.View more recommendations
