In this episode of Opera Training Companion, host Rachel Nicholls is joined by Alex Ingram and Della Jones from the National Opera Studio to explore the role of coaching in opera. They discuss what it means to be a coach, how it differs from teaching or accompanying, and the unique skills required for the job, including both musical and psychological insight. The conversation covers when and how singers and pianists should seek coaching, how to make the most of a session, and tips for coaches on breaking through emotional barriers.
