Marisa
De Silva is a soprano and Alexander Technique teacher. As a singer she has traveled around the world and has performed
in numerous festivals in Europe and in Asia as well as throughout North America. In addition to the operatic repertoire, Marisa
has distinguished herself particularly in the Spanish, Ibero-American and American new music repertoire.
She has worked with such composers as John Harbison and Jake Heggie as well as
with Teresa Berganza and Miguel Zanetti in Spain. In recent years her interest in Ibero-American vocal music led her to travel
to Barcelona where she studied and performed works of Catalan and South American composers.
Marisa earned her Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees in Vocal Performance
from Illinois State University, where she was given numerous honors for her singing and academic achievements.
She is a full member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing).
She is also an AmSAT (American Society for the Alexander Technique) certified teacher
of the Alexander Technique. She completed her 1600-hour training at Alexander Technique Urbana where she studied with master
teachers, Rose Bronec and Rick Carbaugh. During her training she taught the Alexander Technique through the Dance Department
of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In the summer of 2009, she served as faculty member at the Barcelona Festival
of Song where she taught Alexander Technique to singers and pianists.
She is in high demand as a teacher of both voice and the Alexander Technique. Through
her specialized training in the Alexander Technique, she is keen at noticing what may be interfering with a natural functioning
of the voice and is able to help students find and develop their own unique and special voice to its fullest potential.
Being raised in Japan, Marisa is a true international and enjoys sharing her love
of music and working with students of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities. She is also fluent in Japanese.
