Additional Information
Jessica Cooper is a soprano who specializes in Historically Informed Performance, and Classical and Baroque styles. She is passionate about creating inclusive “environments of courageous sharing” in her voice studio and seeks to affirm all identities through the arts. Repertoire is selected from “non-traditional” sources, including folk, cultural, and music from the African diaspora in addition to the classical body of works. Jessica received her Masters of Music in Performance (Voice specialty) and Opera at New England Conservatory in 2000, and received her Bachelor of Music in Vocal performance at San Diego State University in 1997. There, she was awarded the outstanding music graduate award. Cooper is a member of the national music honor society Pi Kappa Lambda.
“Jessica invites students to approach singing as a journey, conjoining the mind and the body as a singular force of expression. Her focus is not only to help expand vocal abilities, but to unlock the identity and strength in one’s voice.”
