Bio: Mezzo soprano, Laura Angus Yount, received her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Music from the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music where she was the student of John Maloy.

She currently is on the faculty of the Saint Andrew's Conservatory in Sanford, FL, and maintains a private voice studio in Lake Mary, FL. “My principal focus is to develop to its fullest potential a reliable breathing technique which is fundamental to all other vocal techniques. If you cannot breathe well and properly, you cannot sing and execute the more complex necessities of vocal performance. I have been able to help students just beginning their vocal study by giving them a healthy, solid foundation, and to help professionals, established in their careers, by assisting them sharpen their technical skills.”
