Elena Caccamo's Profile

Background:

Hello! I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m a mezzo :) I’ve been training children and teens for 6 years, especially helping them with auditions and tests. I’ve been singing in theaters almost all my life since I started when I was just 8; nowadays I work as a professional mezzosoprano all around the world both in educational projects for kids and children and in big productions. I like teaching because I can share my experience with somebody that needs it and I always get to learn something from my pupils too: I swear teaching makes me a better singer. I give lessons for any kind of purpose: - learning music - improving musicality - preparing an audition - finding our own voice - overcoming insecurity All ages and levels are welcome! Everybody is different, so everybody has its own path to go through; I cater my lessons on the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience. Music is life and life is fun! I have been teaching since I left the Children Choir of La scala: I was asked by the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala to train future young choristers keen to try the audition. This is how I started teaching little kids. I then continued in my hometown preparing successfully kids for the same kind of auditions. In the meanwhile I studied to become a professional singer. Later on, I started giving lessons also to adults interested in singing for the most different reasons. At the beginning of the pandemic, I moved my teaching online with my previous students. This experiment proved possible and also successful in a period when we were all locked in our apartments: my students were not only able to keep up their work but also to improve and make remarkable progress. Since last fall, I’ve been teaching to adults, teens and kids online. This experience has increased my ability in finding new techniques to teach how to sing overcoming the barrier of not being in same room together. I am proud to say that I have had a fantastic retaining response from my students so far, I have successfully prepared some of them for auditions into prestigious music schools and colleges. If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you! During the trial lesson we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess level and goals and start to work on them already. I can’t wait to meet you!
