Ms. Ayre’s private voice students, ranging in age from older elementary through adult, have been selected for professional singing opportunities including lead roles and soloist with the Washington National Opera, National Symphony Orchestra, DC Public Opera, Bel Cantanti Opera and area choral groups. Her students have been winners and finalists in regional and national competitions, including the NATS state, regional and national student auditions. Her teaching includes the physiology of singing, and seeks to allow each singer to create his or her most beautiful and free sound, with an emphasis on a well-supported, legato line. Sight reading and music theory are incorporated into lessons. The studio offers quarterly master classes and twice-yearly recitals. Lessons are available online as well as in person.
