Resources for mature singers
Raison d'Etre Opera is committed to providing opportunities for mature singers to perform. As part of that commitment, we offer the following resources to help keep your voice and technique in the best possible shape.
A number of RDO members study with David Jones — international vocal pedagogue who offers master classes at universities and conservatories. He offers techniques to keep the aging voice in its best possible shape. His website is here.
RDO sponsors local masterclasses given by David Jones each fall at Hamline University and other venues.
Stay tuned for announcements about the 2026 masterclasses!
This book, newly-published from David Jones, comes highly recommended from RDO. You can get it here.
We will say more soon!
