Joe Santaniello is a gifted musician and an inspired educator. I studied classical and musical theatre voice with him from the ages of 12-17, and he empowered me to pursue my dreams and go into music professionally. He helped instill in me the values of discipline, hard work, and professionalism but most importantly, he inspired my passion for singing, reinforced by exceptional musicianship skills.

Joe is an expert vocal technician who is always refining his craft by keeping up with the latest in voice science. From pop-rock vocals to Puccini arias, you can trust Joe to help you cultivate healthy and efficient vocal production. I still love going back to sing for Joe and getting a little “tune-up” in the studio!

He guided me with patience and care through the stressful college audition process and helped me get into the program of my dreams at Carnegie Mellon University where I got my B.F.A in Voice Performance. Now, I am working toward my M.M. in Opera Performance at Boston Conservatory (Joe’s alma mater!) and beginning my career as a freelance musician and educator. I know I would not be the strong, capable young woman I am today if it were not for his nurturing presence during my most formative years.
