welcome to the Crossover Singing Method
"In 25 years of teaching in Italy, the United States and Canada I have met incredibly talented talents not only vocally and musically. The passion for communication is, in my opinion, fundamental for a teacher. The decision to certify teachers for teaching of the Crossover Method was simply a consequence inspired by the response that these singers, students and teachers showed me every time I had the pleasure of working with them ".
