Is the Melocchi Method suited only for dramatic voices?

No. The method is suitable for all male voice types — especially lyric, spinto, and dramatic voices.
It is less suited for leggero tenors, whose technique typically relies on lighter coordinations.

Is there an age requirement?

No. Students can begin studying the method at any age.
The technique adapts naturally to young, mature, and aging voices alike.

Is previous vocal training necessary?

Previous training can be helpful but is not required.
Beginners are welcome — and often progress quickly, since they have not formed habits that may interfere with the method.

Does the method limit your ability to sing piano?

Absolutely not.
Many singers from this school — Giuseppe Giacomini, Franco Corelli, Gastone Limarilli, Angelo Mori, and others — were celebrated for their expressive pianos and diminuendos.
The method strengthens the entire vocal instrument, enabling the full dynamic range from pianissimo to fortissimo with control and resonance.

Is the method safe for the voice?

Yes. When taught correctly, the method is extremely safe and supports long-term vocal health.
Most singers trained in this tradition enjoyed long, stable careers without strain or chronic fatigue.

How many lessons do I need per month?

Most students take one lesson per week, while motivated or advanced singers benefit from two weekly lessons.
The key is consistency — steady, correct repetition leads to the best and most lasting progress.

Does the method darken or artificially modify the voice?

No. The method reinforces your true timbre. Any increased richness comes from an open pharyngeal space, not from forcing or artificial darkening.

Can the method help with vocal fatigue or tension?

Yes. The technique is designed to eliminate strain, improve efficiency, and protect your vocal health.

Can I take a trial lesson first?

Yes. A trial lesson allows you to experience the method and see if it suits your voice and goals.

What equipment do I need for online lessons?

• A computer or tablet

• Stable internet connection

• A quiet space to sing

Do you provide exercises to practice at home?

Yes. Each student receives exercises to reinforce technique and progress between lessons.
