Testimonials

“I am a singer/songwriter with a degree in contemporary music, and have performed for over 15 years including on The Voice of Ireland and for both Dublin Pride and Pride in London. I also songwrite for other artists and provide backing vocals, most recently for Una Healy's single Walk Away. Having worked with Massimo for a few weeks now I can hand on heart say it has been the most precise and useful vocal coaching I have received to date. Within 2 weeks my vocal range had broadened, agility had improved and the natural depth and volume to my voice increased. Massimo's approach is methodical and exact, with a focus on vocal longevity, technique and tonality without compromising the emotionality of a piece. I would highly recommend him to all singers looking to improve their skillset.”

Testimonials

“Massimo has helped me discover my lower register and work more with it. His techniques elevated my singing quality even though most of my songs are not in a classical/operatic style at all. From one gig to another just a few months later both myself and my close friends in the audience noticed a major difference thanks to Massimo’s help. I totally vouch for working with him!”

Massimo is an inspiring artist, who has the knowledge, experience, warmth and skill to help amateurs with their vocal dreams. I have been to many concerts over the time I have known Massimo and am inspired every time! He listens to his students and also has an amazing intuition. Learn with Massimo!

I have known Massimo dal Checco for less than two months. But he has already had a remarkable and startling effect upon my life. Massimo had attended a performance of mine, during which I did a little singing; he told me that I have a singing voice worth training. I am 74 years old. I have sung in public. And I’ve used my voice as an actor for decades. But since childhood I have been extremely sensitive about my musical ear. Also in my work and in my everyday life I have to an extent held back on the full expression and potential of my larynx. Within weeks through inspiring sessions and well-judged homework exercises Massimo has shown me that I am a bass. That I am not tone deaf but simply sing low. And that I have it within me to become a proper singer. He is patient, supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, kind and ultimately inspiring. I cannot recommend Massimo dal Checco highly enough. At this stage in my life he has already affected my life - as a bass - very deeply.

As a non-binary AMAB singer, I spent 12 years working with female voice teachers. While I learned a lot, it wasn't until I started working with Massimo that I truly felt like I understood my own voice and its potential. Massimo's approach has been transformative. Thanks to Massimo's guidance, I've discovered a whole new side to my voice. I can now sing Es and Fs in full voice without resorting to falsetto, and my low notes have developed a beautiful chiaroscuro brightness. Plus, my breath control has improved significantly
