I believe Denyce Graves went to Oberlin. Whether she studied with him, I'm
not sure. I was at a workshop of his this summer and he spoke about her
voice as if he were really familiar with it. He did say she is doing some
"weird things" at the moment.

A friend of mine just came back from it and said it was awesome (I'm talking
of Joan Dornemann, since I didn't quote the whole post). I'm looking into
auditioning for it next year!

<<Has anyone from the list read Miller's new book on soprano training?
What
sorts of sopranos does he himself produce -- has anyone heard any of his
students, and might describe their typical "sound," if there is one? >>


I have it, haven't read it in depth yet, but used a couple of exercises for
agility and sostenuto this morning and they were VERY effective. I know a
tenor alum of his very well, and his voice is beautiful with a real ring and
wonderful breath control.
