Voice studies:
“Roses of the South” (Joh. Strauss), “Little Mill Pond” (Josef Strauss) and “Voices of Spring” (Joh. Strauss)
“Vocal studies in Vienna always offer new challenges and I always learn something new from my voice professor in Bel canto. The virtuosity of the song birds around my studio in which I compose, is not only a source of inspiration, but also allows me to further develop my singing technique.”

“Line No. 1: Click line"
“Line No. 2: Nenene line"
“Line No. 3: Wonder sequence"
“Line No. 4: Diva line"
“Line No. 5: Wonder exercise and 'The Magic Veil'"
“Line No. 6: from 'The Magic Bird' to 'Milky Way'"
