AboutPamela Thomas Expertise Questions on Opera performance, repertoire, vocal technique, acting for opera. I have some 20 years experience in opera in both leading roles and chorus. I have sung with New York City Opera since 1981. I have studied voice in NYC for over 20 years and have also taught technique and coached singers in acting.
Question I am trying to locate a Thomas Lo Monaco who was a pupil of Douglas Stanley many years ago and who himself taught singing in New York City. I was also a pupil of a student of Douglas Stanley ( I have his book and a self made tongue intrument )named William Gregory. I want to locate Thomas Lo Monaco to discuss with him various aspects of the Stanley teaching methods. I thought that you might have some knowledge of him, since you have been teaching in the New York area for many years.Many thanks for any information you can provide.
Answer Hi Donald,
If you will give me your email I'll give you a contact number for Tom. His wife Ilke really handles most of the calls. Tom comes into NYC usually once a week - but send me your email and I'll give you Ilke's number. I'm sure Tom would love to talk about Stanley..
