Start Your Vocal Transformation with the Melocchi Method
Welcome to the Arturo Melocchi Academy! I’m Ignas, a dedicated opera singer and Melocchi technique teacher passionate about preserving and continuing the great tradition of the acclaimed Melocchi Method, renowned for developing some of the greatest operatic voices of the 20th century.
My teaching follows a direct pedagogical lineage originating with Arturo Melocchi, transmitted through Marcello and Mario del Monaco, and continued through their students, with whom I studied in Italy. Learn more about my background.
Our personalized singing lessons are designed to transform your voice through a structured, two-phase approach:
Technical Refinement: Develop your voice with specialized exercises passed down from Arturo Melocchi and Marcello del Monaco, designed to increase volume, enhance strength, and expand your vocal range, allowing your voice to reach its fullest potential.
Artistic Development: Once your technique is refined and consolidated, we will explore operatic and classical repertoire, focusing on style, diction, phrasing, and interpretation.
For optimal results, we recommend using a laptop to ensure superior audio quality. Lessons are conducted via Zoom.

“Ignas completely transformed my vocal technique. Through his clear, hands-on teaching and deep understanding of vocal function, I learned to build real strength, projection, and ease in the upper range. That progress ultimately allowed me to sing confidently on one of the world’s greatest stages — the Vienna State Opera.”
“The Melocchi Method has been a game changer for me. It has helped my voice reach places I always wanted it to go and given me a new sense of control and confidence. Ignas is a great pedagogue who focuses on detail and ensures a clear understanding and precise execution of this ‘old-school’ method, which continues to reveal new possibilities in my singing.”
