<p>Which teachers, at a university/college, have produced the most met opera audition winners?</p>
<p>ah-good question. but wrong way to go-things change. this would be no accurate way to measure competence/success. i would highly suggest you decide the type of environment-university or conservatory?-and then start narrowing down from there by more specific things. i'll be happy to answer any more questions...</p>
<p>That is kind of like the old "which comes first, the chicken or the egg?" question. Good teachers have good students, which then recruits other good students. Most singers, for various reasons, work their way through several teachers, so who is to say who "made them". A teacher can ruin a singer, but the folks who should get the most credit for the most impressive voices is the parents and their genes! Some teachers who have lots of winners do not actually teach singing, but rather they coach and polish. That is necessary if a singer really knows how to sing and is totally functional in their voice type, and it is helpful as part of the process along the way. Some schools have excellent relationships amongst the teachers, where some will concentrate on technical issues and problems specific to a voice type, while others will do the coaching of roles, style, language, repertory. It takes a village......</p>
<p>I was just wondering if there was a teacher who had alot of their students win. I wasn't trying to find them out and then go to the person and beg to be their student. It just came to mind when I was reading about a winner from years past and the article said that their teacher had had other students compete and go far in the competition. I then asked myself the question. Then I Thought that maybe I could ask here to see if anyone knew. Just a simple question, that's all.</p>
