Denise Bayraktar

I hold a Master’s degree in Voice Performance from the University of New Orleans and a Bachelor of Science degree in Voice Performance from the State Music Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2001, I toured with the International European Opera Company, performing in Denmark, France, Italy, and the USA. My teaching approach incorporates a strong foundation in classical technique, which I adapt to suit a wide range of genres, including Opera, Oratorio, Musical Theater, and Pop-style singing. I believe that these techniques are valuable tools for building healthy and versatile voices. For over a decade, I have worked with students of all ages and abilities, helping them grow their practical and theoretical skills while finding joy in their unique vocal journey. I am passionate about sharing my love for singing with others and feel grateful to be able to do this incredible job every day. Drawing on my own experiences, I understand the importance of a supportive and skilled vocal instructor and strive to provide a teaching style that is approachable, friendly, and effective for every student. This version emphasizes your adaptability and experience across various singing styles, making it clear that your training is applicable to multiple genres, not just opera.
