About Peter
Having sung myself onstage with the great singers at the MET, and chosen, coached, and conducted hundreds of singers for over 4 decades at Virginia Opera -- where I am Artistic Director Emeritus -- I really know how to work quickly and effectively with singers to get their voices to ring freely and to communicate expressively and musically. QUICKLY and SUCCESSFULLY!
Peter Mark’s powerful skill set draws from a varied and comprehensive experience in opera. As Founding General and Artistic Director of Virginia Opera he conducted and mentored young singers -- many who have become world renowned stars like Renee Fleming, Diana Soviero, Lawrence Brownlee, Frederick Burchinal.

I listen carefully to each new student, assess what they need, make sure it is what they think they need, and then find a way to give them the tools they are missing -- to really know what they are doing vocally --- so that they not only improve their singing but also understand how and why it is working -- so they are from then on in control.
Singers on every level -- professional, non-professional, student level, crossover singers, actors, public speakers.
Make sure that you find someone who can help you immediately and quickly. And noticeably!!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How your voice responds to your own commands when you sing. What are the successes? What are the failures? The problems areas?
What style and repertoire do you want to sing?
Do you feel you have the voice for that?
Are you willing to do what it takes to develop a technique so you can sing reliably ?

It was very productive to work with Peter. One of the things that we were focused was to work on chiaro-scuro that now works very good as an idea and in practice. Also the legato and breath-support. He does pay a lot of attention to those things, and I think that's the key to a beautiful singing. I'm thankful for that! So far, Peter is certainly on of the best I've been able to work with.
I participated in Peter Mark's masterclasses, and he is a real professional who cares about his students. No matter what level of voice you have, or where you are currently in your training, he will help to get the best out of you. He has great intuition about how to handle singers and really gives 100% of his energy in coaching. I greatly appreciate him working with me and consider it a great honor to have been allowed to participate in these classes.
Peter Mark has so many tools and techniques that will help a singer improve their musicianship to a professional level. If you are looking to go the next step I recommend you with Peter.
I recently had the pleasure of collaborating as pianist for Peter Mark's master class for young Opera singers and found him to be highly effective in his ability to elicit the best possible results from each of the participants. Due to his many years of professional experience in the world of Opera, Peter knows exactly what is needed to be heard as far as vocal production and style in the widest possible variety of repertoire, but more importantly, through his unique methods is able to quickly achieve the desired results from each of the singers.
Hands on, practical and honest advice to singers on how to advance your vocal performance, dramatization, stage movement to a professional level. Lesson series is a tremendous value: in a short period of time, Mark can get you ready to sing an aria or the whole role.
Peter is a superb coach. I have observed his unique method and insights help singers of all voice types. Peter has made an invaluable contribution to my development and musicianship.
Maestro Peter Mark has always brought out the best in my singing and overall performance. If you want excellent results and insights in a very practical and visceral approach, I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.
I have sung leading roles for Peter in Wagner, Puccini and Beethoven and he is equally adept in these styles and more. Take advantage of the opportunity!Opera singers spend years and years trying to find a correct vocal placement. However when you go to Peter Mark, we find, at lest I've founded, that vocal placement is just the beginning. We must to have a plan to our sound after its well place it. And than is when mister Mark show his skillfull sound designing strategies. Making singing a much more exciting expirience for the listeners, and health and artistic sound for those that are making it.
Peter Mark has a thorough understanding of vocal placement and technique. He quickly and effectively makes singing easier and more legato. You begin to understand your voice as an instrument akin to finger placement on a guitar or mouth placement on a trumpet in order to create the desired sound. The service and knowledge he provides his singers is nothing less then world class. His work is vital to the continuation of the operatic arts.
Working with Peter Mark has benefited me a great deal. He is a wonderful, skilled and experienced teacher and I am a better singer through working with him. I would recommend signing up for his masterclass series, we work hard but have a great deal of fun as well.
I studied in italy for 5 years but I've never met like him.
Since I work with him So much improved my voice.
I feel so blessed to meet him.
His teaching is very clear and easy to understand.
I highly recommend himI recently participated in Maestro Peter Mark's Masterclass in Beverly Hills, CA. I have worked with the maestro previously in NYC and in Pennsylvania. It has helped me to focus and unify my middle & lower registers. Most importantly, the class helped me to make vocal & musical choices that would cut through large orchestras in good size halls with brilliant vitality top to bottom. One of the biggest challenges as a singer is to acquire viable feedback that would facilitate onstage performances in a large hall over a large ensemble. "From a Conductor's Perspective", Maestro Peter Mark offered unique and honest comments along with practical solutions as a conductor for me. It made a marked difference immediately. The instructions were precise, effective and no-none-sense. As a singer with roots in LA and worked in NYC and the East Coast, I find Maestro's approach especially important to California based singers. There isn't as much exposure to the professional voices as NY based singers. Maestro's work with the singers takes the guesswork out of the equation. I wish I had this available to me when I lived in LA full time. I highly recommend this series of Masterclasses to any west coast based singers who are serious about developing and understanding the professional sound. Thank you Maestro for your candor, expertise and dedication. Looking forward to our next session be it in NYC or LA!
I have gotten SO much out of working with Peter. My high C's were a wish and a prayer before ... always there but never sure if they would be solid. That was only one of the major breakthroughs I had while working with Peter ... there have been, and continue to be, many more!
Through working with Peter singing has become a three dimensional experience ... I experience it techincally on so many more levels than I had before.
It has been an invaluable experience.View more recommendations
