Maria Jacobi
Voice, Yoga

Soprano Maria C. Jacobi received her B.M. in Voice, Theater and Dance from Ithaca College's Whalen Conservatory of Music focusing on contemporary performance. She collaborated with a wide variety of student and professional composers, attending a contemporary art song festival in Vancouver, BC in Summer 2008. She has made a point to use her contemporary vocal work studies as a way to expand vocal technique, to become a versatile vocalist crossing into popular music genres.

Maria currently offers vocal instruction to all ages/levels at the Cady School in varying styles, with an emphasis on creating a well-rounded performer. She works with a singer's technique, lyric interpretation, and overall performance.

Maria also studied yoga throughout her college career, teaching a "Yoga for Singers" series to fellow musicians and teachers at Ithaca. Her recent certification at The Kripalu School of Yoga and Health inspired the program to evolve into "Yoga for the Performing Artist," encompassing all performers of varying ages and levels. This class calms performance anxieties and enhances overall performance. "Yoga for the Performing Artist" is now offered at the Cady School of Music. See Course Descriptions.
