Hello, I'm Will Hayes, Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music (CCM) graduate, certified Suzuki teacher #121744, AFM Albany, NY Local 14 member #254, Schenectady-Amsterdam NY Musical Union Local 85-133 Executive Board Member, and past student artist at the Chautauqua Institution, NY, and the Aspen Music Festival, CO.
You'll benefit from and enjoy all the best techniques, practices and concepts from the world's top performers and teachers I have studied with in person: Zara Nelsova, Yehuda Hanani,
Sara Sant'ambrogio, Richard Aaron; and, with members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus, as well as in coaching sessions from members of renowned chamber ensembles, including the Tokyo, Emerson, Cleveland and LaSalle String Quartets. And, the highest credit goes to my earliest private teachers, Eleanor Sandblade and Arlene Conn, as well as Dr. Lou Richardson, SUNY Fredonia.
You'll enjoy all the confidence that comes from connecting with audiences in the U.S. and abroad, as I've performed live on stage with rock legend Rod Stewart; vocal legend Johnny Mathis; "the Jimi Hendrix" of the violin Eileen Ivers, of Riverdance fiddling fame, and the operatic vocal quartet sensation "Il Divo."
