Carol Chatfield holds degrees in voice with honors from New England Conservatory (BM) and Boston Conservatory (MM). She has taught voice for over 30 years and has helped her students prepare for college auditions, competitions and for musical auditions. She has had students move on to professional opera careers and students who have won Broadway roles, or parts in Broadway touring companies. Currently, one of her former students is starring in “Come From Away” on Broadway.
Carol teaches voice lessons at CHS during some choir periods and lunches. Lesson signups are on a first-come/first-serve basis. Carol also teaches in her Kettering home during the after-school hours. In lessons, students work on breathing, tone placement, learning to produce pure vowel sounds that work for any language, in an effort to learn to sing in a healthy fashion that will not damage the voice. Carol believes any student who is doing a lot of singing benefits from lessons. Students then work on building a repertoire of all sorts of music and how to present that music in a professional manner. Carol also help students prepare for contest and with any in school auditions.
"I look forward to meeting and working with your child, while helping them improve their voice, along with maintaining vocal health."
