"Jack is one of the best professionals around and I don't throw such plaudits easily!"

The Li Vigni school is one that focuses on the intricacies of efficient vocal usage tethered to efficient breath technique...rather straight forward!
I recommend Jack to any novice or experienced performer looking to expand their own personal arsenal of ideas and pathways in the search for a healthy, fully firing vocal instrument.

Jack's love and commitment to the development of young and talented Opera singers is at the highest of levels. Not only his vast wisdom of the voice and all it's mysteries, but his complete devotion to teaching the newer generations of singers the traditions of the past greats show his enormous love for the art of the classical voice. This is rare and much prized in the singing world to both students of voice and to the lover of voices. Jack's love and knowledge of this art is a precious commodity! (Charles Castronovo - Tenor)

"Jack`s impeccable ear and his immense knowledge about singing make him the best coach I ever worked with. My voice gained more beauty and volume and flexibility to be able to perform the big italian and the big german repertoire on the highest level!"

"Jack's teaching embodies the old-school, bel canto method of singing that is sorely lacking in the opera world today. Furthermore, he makes you more familiar with the instrument itself, which results in a greater awareness and the ability to 'diagnose' and 'troubleshoot.'"
Tenor Andrew Owens (Theater an der Wien, Seattle Opera, Caramoor Festival, Florida Grand Opera - andrewowenstenor.com)

"During my career I have worked with many voice teachers. In the end only Jack has shown me a profound understanding of vocal technique, and even more extraordinary is his ability to transmit this knowledge to all his students. With him today is alive the glorious Italian School of singing."

"It is always an education to work with my friend and colleague, Jack LiVigni in the studio. Since he teaches a traditional italian vocal technique and can demonstrate it using a world class sound, it is a great comfort to know he practises what he preaches. He uses his uncanny vocal understanding to quickly address the challenges of singing opera today. He's not gimmicky. He doesn't go for quick fixes but encourages his students to first seek understanding and then build a healthy voice. He's an advocate who seeks sustainable singing, beyond what is in vogue."

I had my first lesson with Maestro Livigni in New York in 2013. This was the day I began to understand how I should be singing. Maestro Livigni kindly offered me all of his guidance with patience and great generosity of his time and spirit.
It is a very special experience, working with Maestro Livigni... He was able to unlock my true voice and potential and mould it into a professional sound. Throughout my studies with Maestro Livigni, I have gained the tools I needed to be able to forge a successful career in opera. He instilled in me from our first meeting onwards, a proper understanding of the breath, cord closure, legato, and squillo, not to mention interpretation, communication of text and character and a deep understanding of the music I am preparing.
Thanks to Maestro Livigni the doors to the professional opera world began to open to me.
