To produce a chiaroscuro sound, the larynx must be low and relaxed, allowing the vocal folds to vibrate freely and balanced resonance in the cavities of the head. With practice, a singer is able to produce a tone of beauty, agility and flexibility. The bel canto style of singing is a beautiful and skillful way of expressing music. It requires a strong foundation of vocal skills and an understanding of the mechanics of the voice. By learning to produce and sustain legato phrases, a singer can gain agility and flexibility while developing a healthy technique. Achieving a bright-dark timbre or chiaroscuro sound helps to balance the resonances in the voice so it can be projected without strain and sound beautiful. With practice, any singer can perfect their bel canto technique.

Children start out as naturally imaginative, inquisitive, and explorers by nature. The Montessori way is to encourage children’s natural learning instincts as well as providing the necessary education of up-to-date technology. The Montessori way is much different than regular preschool because it is whole person based rather than solely teaching the basics. We want to develop your child into a well-rounded individual who uses his or her own knowledge and instincts to enjoy learning.
