She has coached with some of the most celebrated singers and teachers of our times, including Camilla Williams, Reri Grist, Helen Donath, Marilyn Horne, Regine Crespin, Mirella Freni and most recently, with noted vocal pedagogue David Jones. The soprano’s interest in “performance enhancement” led her to master the optimal performance methods of noted sports and performance psychologists Barry Green, Timothy Gallwey, Don Greene and Alma Thomas. She holds a Master of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana University and Bachelor of Music Degrees in Voice and Music Education from Michigan State University. When not performing, Janet Williams leads a variety of performance master classes, workshops and seminars in London, Paris and Berlin, through her company, Performance Enhancement by Design. She also maintains a voice studio in Berlin, Germany, where she lives with her husband, stage director and set designer Fred Berndt. |
