BB's lesson "Musetta aria" 

She is such an honest, kind, and supportive teacher!

There is a whole generations of singers which don't have REAL Italian, open, clear vowels, particularly in the middle of the range.... I don't know where it started... remember in the 80 already, when "a" sounded "ae" and like inside a tube... and there is also no differentiation between "o" and "u"... they all sound the same, and they stay inside the mouth, they produce a sound, yes, like Miss Boney rightly says, but not a vowel... am so glad she is correcting this in this gifted singer. Also, when the singer went "sweet, sweet" etc, etc, the voice sounded freer in the middle, and more beautiful, EXACTLY because by singing the word "sweet" with an "i" as main vowel, she could not get into the tube sound.

Чудово. Слушні зауваження, які доповнюють прекрасний голос співачки.

God, Barbara is not only a wonderful singer, but also an adorable teacher and person.

Love the way Bonney imparts knowledge and wisdom on the mysteries of singing and the human voice. She is the antithesis of the notorious pedagogical terror that was Schwarzkopf.

Barbara is the Greatest Teacher in the world. She is different.

Bravo for BB, for the young soprano, & let’s not forget, for the accompanist. NB: BB lets her students sing the aria straight through before offering suggesting anything. The character study is excellent, as is the relationship BB underlines between Musetta’s considerable charm & her true & generous sweetness.

She is such a great teacher, I will definitely try to sing this aria with the tips she gave here :)

Beautiful voice! Such a legerissimo and sweetness while singing. Great!

I was looking for other versions of the Musetta Waltz, and this came up. Initial reaction was "That's rough'" until I watched it, and watched it again a couple more times. Very informative and instructive. Other than 'liking opera' (and only some of it), I had no idea about the voice training - the position of the tongue and the head... and now I realise that most every well-known singer started this way. And had to learn. I hope they had as sympathetic a teacher as Ms Bonney - and I hope this young lady has (it is 10 years later, after all) a place in the Contacts book of every operatic director.

Bravisimo por los pianistas acompañantes, que hacen posible cantar esta música maravillosa.

バーバラ先生に指導してもらったあと、みんな、大きく変わって帰っていきますね。 彼女の母音がハッキリしない点が気になっていましたが、レッスンしてから、ハッキリするようになりました。 素晴らしい!!

素晴らしい！！！教える方も教わる方も一流のレッスンは見ていて楽しいです！！！

I hear the same clarity in Bonney’s singing.

Красивий голос

Barbara...what an absolute gem :)

Thank You :) This made me feel like I'm Musetta :)

Fantastic!

Amazing!!!

素晴らしい先生と生徒毎日聞いてまねてます声はムリですが表情や雰囲気が少し身についてサンキュー(v^-ﾟ)イエースイエースです

Hi Netta!! Lovely! Miss you! xo

Tiene una linda voz la.señora!!

Bravo! Sehr gut, hervorragend! 🌟🌿💖 The Singer ist really good, but the teacher should go to school and learn her lesson. Why? This young Lady is very talented ! The First Version of Quando men vo was perfect, was also sweet. The second one? No! No more! This teacher should let the students do. It was like destroying an act of good art, wich sounds Like from the heart and the sweetness was within! Good luck and all the best!,,🌹🌿🌟

💖💖💖😍

¡Es Netta Or!

After a big career she still has American diction in Italian….schade!!!
