The Marie Therese Vassallo Voice Studio has been functioning since 1987, when Ms.Vassallo responded to several requests from various singers for help with their singing problems. The Studio caters for young and more mature singers of different genres of music, who are accepted after an audition to assess their vocal potential and general musicality. Occasionally Ms.Vassallo accepts also younger children who show outstanding vocal ability.

Marie Therese Vassallo works with her students on an individual and personal basis and insists that each student should be under her own direct tuition. Each student is guided to recognise his own natural capabilities and to develop them without producing stereotypes of the same voice. Lessons consist of vocal technique, theory of music, sight singing, repertoire in various genres of music and in different languages and Ensemble Work. Students are also encouraged to study another musical instrument. Once the students are making steady progress, they are encouraged to perform as much as possible under the supervision of Ms.Vassallo, who insists that they only sing the repertoire that is suitable to their voices. Students who wish to take singing exams of various established universities and boards are prepared in all the requirements of the chosen grade and all those presented have been highly successful.

Ms.Vassallo organises concerts in distinguished venues all over our islands, thus creating opportunities for her students to perform both as soloists and in ensemble work. Such activities promote and give opportunities to new, as well as established singers to perform , learn from each other, and enjoy themselves at the same time. Several of her advanced Students are now establishing themselves as some of the leading singers on our Islands arid have even had opportunities to sing abroad.

The Voice Studio was set up by Marie Therese Vassallo over ten years ago. Originally it was made up of singers who aspired to become soloists. However, Ms. Vassallo trained them also in ensemble work. Since 1998, the group has grown and has been invited to sing for many important occasions, including a number of concerts of the Malta Cultural Institue.

The Voice Studio meets regularly under the direction of Marie Therese Vassallo, and is compiling an International repertoire covering different sytles of music.
