I became acquainted with Riva through my wife, Cindy Egger. I first was looking to take occasional lessons to “keep up my chops”. However, I found better than that. I was off on a journey to “unlearn” and move from a consistently “heavy” baritone voice (bound rigidly in a narrow range). What has come through discovery is a much lighter, flexible and genuinely breath-supported baritone voice with a wider range. I’m still learning the “effortless” feel as I continue with two lessons a month (currently, by Zoom). And, finding a wider range of music literature to enjoy and sing — and, I mean “sing”! Thanks Riva !
