Joyce DiDonato Master Class January 2016: Mozart’s “Voi che sapete” from Le nozze di Figaro

[@annatrombetta]

I think it's awesome that Joyce accepts singers who are not already incredibly vocally advanced, so that singers like Miya get a chance to learn and develop from such an amazing singer and teacher. Every single singer has been in Miya's spot of vocal development, and she is doing a fantastic job at taking on Joyce's advice and applying what she can in the moment. So, if anyone is watching this and can only comment on how much they don't like listening to Miya, sort your stuff out. It's a masterclass and a learning process, not a finished product or performance. #teamjoyce

Anna, you rock my world. Thank you so much for this really supportive, and truthful comment amidst some very not nice ones on all my videos! Such is life, but I wish the general public knew how daunting this is and how a masterclass is not a performance. All my best to you! Cheers! XO-Miya

I love master classes they are beacons of hope and joy!

[@priscillaguajardo485]

I’m currently a freshman getting my undergraduate degree in vocal performance, it is truly inspiring to see Miya on my screen. She is by far my favorite to watch because I can relate so much to her singing. Masterclasses are for everyone. I’m learning way more from Miya’s performances than I have from watching several other singers from the entire series. Keep doing what you’re doing, Miya. Seeing your videos only makes me push myself more to achieve my dreams and I believe you’re showing an example for so many young performers.

I didn't know I'd be binge-watching Miya the junior in college today, but this is some fascinating stuff. What a rock star waiting to happen.

[@miyahigashiyama]

Thank you, Kellie!!! :) how sweet of you! I appreciate this really kind comment.

DiDontato is an inspirational teacher. Anyone who has the chance to study with her is blessed. Enjoy the experience fully.

[@rebeccaseifert9007]

Miya, as a young mezzo entering my junior year in college, I LOVED watching this masterclass and I'm so proud of you for having sung this with our mezzo idol Joyce DiDonato. I'd love to connect sometime ! Bravo !

[@giochacon8354]

This is so, so, so full of lessons of interpretation and mastery of not just Mozart music but how to sing anything!

[@MericEryilmaz]

A lot of vocal coaching is imaginary work, because you don't see your instrument (your vocal chords, your diaphragm, your abs from the inside). Your teacher has to have endless imagination to get you to do what she can hear you CAN do. Before you do. Before you even acknowledge you can do it. Joyce is brilliant that way. Genial.

[@miyahigashiyama]

Isn't she incredible?! Couldn't agree more.

[@celibidache1000]

A singing coach must help a singer find the right sensation of resonance by finding where in the voice correct resonance already exists using the correct combination of vowel, register, and dynamic. This sensation can then be transferred to other pitches and vowels, slowly opening up the voice. Joyce does nothing of this. Their voices doesnt improve. And a coach can't know how a voice will sound, when free and open. When the voice is opened, you will know how it will sound. The searching for a certain sound is what's killing voices today.

[@veracruz7954]

Joyce is absolutely THE MOST AMAZING coach, ever.......

Did you watch the late Christa Ludwig?

Thanks for posting this video master class! Joyce as a Voice teacher and as an artist is the unbelievable gift for musicianship! Especially her work is important in baroque music area! Thank you Joice for your brilliant talent!💐💐💐

Thank you so much for watching!

I can't believe so much beauty can be taught! What a singer and teacher!! Thank you Joyce! I couldn't stop smiling the whole video because I enjoyed it so much

[@dreamfaller6372]

Wow! So much admiration for the girl, I mean, this is so physically straining, to do the song multiple times

[@miyahigashiyama]

Thank you so much. This day was the most exhausting of the three classes, and singing this song over and over was SOOOOO tough!! But still, so much fun!
