About Me
We are Sarah M'Punga, lyric mezzo-soprano, and Stefano Secco, lyric tenor, two Italian artists who have developed an international career in the main theaters, opera houses and festivals in Italy and abroad.
Our careers have led us to work in international institutions and productions and to tackle a vast operatic repertoire, with different but complementary experiences.
Today we wish to share this experience with singers who want to progress, deepen their technique and develop their artistic personality.
Joint Coaching was born from the desire to offer a different kind of work: to allow a singer to benefit, during the same session, from two professional perspectives that can complement and confront each other constructively.
Our goal is not to impose a single way of singing. On the contrary, we seek to help each singer better understand their own instrument, identify its possibilities, and build an interpretation that corresponds to their voice and personality.
We wish to pass on what several years of working on stage have taught us: technique must be at the service of music, speech and expression, and the preparation of a singer must take into account not only the voice, but also the score, the style, the character and the concrete requirements of the stage.
Teaching together allows us to create a personalized, demanding and constructive workspace, in which the student benefits from two artistic experiences brought together around their own journey.
### Our method
Our approach is based on the meeting of two complementary professional experiences: that of Sarah M'Punga, an international lyric mezzo-soprano, and that of Stefano Secco, a lyric tenor with an international career.
Joint Vocal & Opera Coaching is not simply a two-person course. It is an individual session during which the two artists work together with the singer, simultaneously bringing their experiences, musical sensibilities, and professional perspectives.
Since each voice is unique, the work is adapted to the student's level, vocal characteristics and objectives.
The session may include vocal technique, breathing, support, projection, resonance, legato, musicality, diction, phrasing, and interpretation. Particular attention is also paid to the relationship between voice, music, text, and character.
Repertoire work is an essential element of the coaching. Sarah M'Punga brings in particular her experience of the great mezzo-soprano repertoire and the Verdi repertoire, while Stefano Secco brings his experience of the great tenor repertoire and the main roles of Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti, Massenet, Gounod and other composers.
This complementarity also allows us to approach the work of a duo, an opera scene or a vocal ensemble by considering both the individual line of the singer and his interaction with the partner.
Coaching can be particularly suited to advanced singers, conservatory students, young professionals and singers preparing for an audition, competition, concert or new role.
Our goal is to convey a concrete experience of the stage and to help each singer develop a free, conscious and expressive voice, as well as a personal interpretation, musically sound and adapted to the demands of the repertoire.

Education
### Training
**Sarah M'Punga – Mezzo-soprano**

She then furthered her professional training at the AMER Academy, as part of the academic courses for professional singers of the Teatro Regio di Parma, under the direction of Maestro Carlo Bergonzi.
Her training was complemented by significant professional experience in the Italian and international operatic repertoire, particularly in major mezzo-soprano roles and in the Verdi repertoire.
**Stefano Secco – Tenor**
Stefano Secco was born in Milan. He began his piano and singing studies with Alberto Soresina and obtained a diploma in percussion with Tullio De Piscopo.

Experience / Qualifications
### Expérience
Notre expérience professionnelle réunit deux carrières internationales dans le monde de l’opéra.
Sarah M’Punga a interprété les grands rôles du répertoire de mezzo-soprano dans d’importantes productions en Italie et à l’étranger, notamment à l’Arena di Verona et au Festival d’Opéra d’Avenches, ainsi que dans des productions en Europe, en Russie, au Mexique, en Chine et au Japon. Son répertoire comprend notamment Carmen, Amneris, Azucena, Eboli, Ulrica, Dalila et Maddalena. Elle a travaillé avec des chefs et metteurs en scène internationaux tels que Gianandrea Noseda, Alain Lombard, Daniel Oren, Marcello Viotti, Liliana Cavani, Franco Zeffirelli et Hugo De Ana.
Stefano Secco possède une vaste expérience internationale comme ténor, avec des engagements dans des maisons telles que le Teatro alla Scala de Milan, l’Opéra Bastille de Paris, la Wiener Staatsoper, le Royal Opera House Covent Garden de Londres, l’Arena di Verona, le Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, La Fenice de Venise et le Grand Théâtre de Genève. Son répertoire comprend notamment Alfredo, le Duc de Mantoue, Don Carlo, Gabriele Adorno, Macduff, Manrico, Riccardo, Rodolfo, Don José, Edgardo, Werther, Pinkerton et Faust.
La complémentarité de nos parcours permet d’aborder le coaching sous plusieurs angles : technique vocale, répertoire, style, interprétation, travail de la partition, préparation scénique et relation entre les voix.
Le Joint Coaching peut également être particulièrement intéressant pour le travail de scènes d’opéra et de duos, car il permet de travailler simultanément la ligne vocale de chaque chanteur et la relation musicale et dramatique entre les personnages.
