Angelina Anello-Dennee

Student Recommendations

  "Angelina was my vocal instructor in theatre productions for 7 years and was my personal vocal coach for the last 3 of those 7 years. She was also my son's piano teacher for 2 years. Angelina is professional, approachable and geniune. I would not have accomplished the goals I had set for myself vocally without her guidance and instruction. She turned me from someone who enjoys singing into someone who could sing with confidence publicly, perform in a lead role of a musical and be confident in entering a competition. She showed great care in teaching my son, who, at the time, had some struggles learning at school. Her instruction in music made him a stronger student in school. Her time with him made a boy is was normally quite shy into someone who was confident in his piano playing at his own competitions. She knows how to recognize what would work best with someone's particular vocals and skills and make them the best they can be as long as they are willing to do the work involved. On top of that, she is a woman of integrity. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in strengthening their vocal skills or learning piano."

  "Angelina has been our daughter's piano teacher for going on four years. She is not only an accomplished piano player, but also a wonderful teacher to our elementary-age daughter, who adores her. There are many people who play the piano well, but not many who can work well with young children. As a parent, Angelina is also wonderful to work with. We couldn't ask for anything more."

  "I can only say Thank You to Angelina! What a true inspiration she has been to our daughter. She has been her vocal coach and mentor for over 4 years as well as been the vocal director in several musical theater productions in which Abby has had a role. Her depth and breadth of musical arts is outstanding in this small community. Her involvement in local productions, performances, events, and competitions shows her true love and dedication to this art. She is funny,personable, professional and affordable. I know that as our daughter graduates and leaves Bend, their friendship will go with her. Thank You Angelina. Ralph and Amy Price"

  "I met Angelina first as a friend and loved her energy so I started my son with her in piano lessons. Her lessons were well thought out and were so easy to follow that he was learning things that had been left out in my lifetime of music including university theory classes. Now I am a student also and we play duets :)"

  "I began college thinking I would major in piano with the idea that I would graduate in order to teach music. Though it didn't take long to discover that I wasn't made with the kind of dedication, passion and energy to survive as a music teacher or leader. Though I took a step back from music vocationally, I still needed to express myself musically while improving what ability I did possess. When I moved to Bend in Fall of 2011, one goal was to continue vocal training that had begun during my last year of college. It wasn't until January of 2012 that I did an internet search and found Angelina's contact page immediately--literally. After contacting her, voice lessons soon followed. Since then, during the past year, she has demonstrated the kind of dedication, passion and energy I knew I didn't have (the characteristics I saw in my college professors). And yet, she has found a way to impress these upon me during weekly lessons. It has been a joy to learn from Angelina and to be challenged too! "
