Vocal coaching, Repertoire , Vocal maintenance for choral  
singers, Keeping the mature voice youthful

The foundation for good singing comes from the  
proper training. Through the appropriate repertoire choices a young voice 
builds  well and a mature voice maintains a healthy vocal profile. Many younger 
singers  get into vocal distress by singing too much of the wrong music 
before developing  a technique. Older singers, in particular choral singers and 
those with large  voices, develop bad habits by controlling their sound 
through tension. The right  choices in language and style in combination with 
the honing of musical skills  allow Daniel Ragone to help students in both 
groups to correct imbalances and  stay on the best singing track. His vast 
knowledge of the vocal repertoire make  him the ideal person for designing 
recital programs and learning roles.
