About his teaching

Mr. Klein’s teaching combines a strong background in Bel Canto technique coupled with extensive music, language and acting knowledge.  Mr. Klein keeps up on research in these fields and uses these recent advancements in physiology, physics, and science to inform his teaching.  He holds a strong belief that intelligence is the number one requirement for success in singing, and that intelligence comes in many different forms. As such, he approaches the voice from many different angles in an attempt to engage as many of these different ways of thinking.
