I’m Ignas M. – Teacher
I’m an opera singer and Melocchi technique teacher dedicated to preserving and continuing the Melocchi Method, a vocal tradition associated with some of the most prominent operatic voices of the 20th century.
My teaching follows a direct pedagogical lineage originating with Arturo Melocchi, transmitted through Marcello and Mario del Monaco, and continued through their students, with whom I studied in Italy.
Lessons are conducted internationally online, continuing a pedagogical tradition passed through generations of Italian operatic training.

How Lessons Work
Our personalized singing lessons are designed to develop your voice through a structured two-phase approach:
Technical Refinement
Develop your voice with specialized exercises passed down from Arturo Melocchi and Marcello del Monaco, designed to increase vocal power, projection, and expand your vocal range, so the voice can develop its full potential.
Artistic Development
Once your technique is refined and consolidated, we explore operatic and classical repertoire, focusing on style, diction, phrasing, and interpretation.
Many singers experience increased stability, clarity, and coordination within a short period of focused work.
Each lesson is tailored to the individual voice and its specific technical requirements.
Online Lesson Setup
For optimal results, we recommend using a laptop to ensure superior audio quality. Lessons are conducted via Zoom.
Start with a Trial Lesson
In the initial lesson, the current technical state of the voice is assessed and the first practical adjustments are introduced.
I work with a limited number of singers to maintain technical precision and individual attention. As a result, availability may be limited, and there may be a short waiting period for new trial lessons.
“Ignas completely transformed my vocal technique. Through his clear, hands-on teaching and deep understanding of vocal function, I learned to build real strength, projection, and ease in the upper range. That progress ultimately allowed me to sing confidently on one of the world’s greatest stages — the Vienna State Opera.”
“Ignas is helping me build a truly essential foundation in my voice. When I started, I struggled to sing an F, and now I can reach A-flats with ease. After a year of training with him, I continue to trust his guidance because he helped me discover my full range while keeping my voice healthy and sustainable for the future. This technical work also supported my acceptance to The Juilliard School in New York.”
