I am Dr. Regina Zona and I am an Award-Winning Singer, Master Teacher of Voice, and Professional Accompanist. I became an internationally recognized Opera Singer in my 20s, a Classical Recording Artist with an international record label in my 30s, and an award-winning Cabaret Singer…let’s say, later.

I have been teaching voice and piano for over three decades, in a thriving private studio as well as in several universities around the country. I am also an in-demand dramatic coach for singers in opera and musical theatre and a stage director.

I began playing piano when I was 8 years old. With years of lessons behind me, I had dreams of becoming a concert pianist. But when I was cast as the lead in my high school musical, all that changed. And eventually I realized that opera was my destiny.

In all those years of singing professionally, the one thing I could always count on was my excellent musicianship – I could sight read almost any piece of music, I could learn roles very quickly, and I could hold my own in the most difficult ensembles. And that was all due to those many years of piano study. The piano was the foundation of my musical education.

There are so many singers out there – extremely talented singers – who don’t have the musical foundation that I was lucky enough to have. They have to pay people to teach them their roles or their songs because they don’t have the skills to do it on their own.

And that is why I created 5-Day Sing & Play. It is a foundational program that touches upon the most important elements of playing accompaniments on the piano – no scales, no complicated music theory. We cut through all the boring stuff and achieve big results in a short time. Did I say 5 DAYS?
