Dear Family, Friends, Romans, Countrymen, etc..,

     For those of you whom have not had the opportunity to hear or see Sharon 
Shaffer -singer/actress perform since she decided to drag herself out of 
retirement (kicking and screaming I might add) here is the perfect 
opportunity.  

Wednesday Evening February 19th at 7:00 PM, 
at the Fairmount Temple
(near the intersection of Fairmount and Green Roads)

 the Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra Chorus are sponsoring a 
Master Class performance with Michelle DeYoung (an apparently famous Mezzo 
Soprano) and I was chosen to be one of the participants (4 total).  I will be 
singing a gorgeous Liszt song (Oh! Quand je dors) and a Bellini aria (Qui la 
voce).  Since it is a Master Class and not a full recital it won't be a very 
long time commitment for those of you who always have better places to be. 
And for those of you who would consider wimping out because you have never 
been in a concert situation, this format is a perfect introduction to 
classical singing: 4 or 5 singers will sing 1 or 2 songs and then  the master 
class teacher attempts to make an improvement or provide guidance either, 
musically, vocally, or stylistically etc.. Well, before I say good-bye I feel 
I should mention that I am still

 Teaching Private Voice Lessons
eartraining/acting/audition prep. and group voice classes 
in my private Solon studio (440-248-9842), but will be expanding to 2 studios 
April 1st.  Think about it, going to performances is a good way to shop for a 
voice teacher; you go and see the performance and say, "yea, I wanna study 
with her!"  

If you come and support me (applaud loudly, screaming and whistling is good 
too), you can have an evaluation lesson for free

...and you can help me solve the age old question: If a singer performs 
without an audience (in the forest...whatever), has she really performed at 
all?
