As Head of the Vocal Dept. of the Performing Academy in Vienna, Austria, I have 35 years of passionate teaching experience that I love to share!

Having been an active performer who has celebrated 40 years on the stage and concert halls throughout the world, I have been called the "Revolution Soprano" and am currently writing a book, "The World is Made of Open Doors"...... My singing has encompassed 32 languages in varying styles (including Contemporary World Premieres by French and German composers) and through this experience I have an extensive and varied "toolbox collection" at my disposal to help others.

My teaching has a holistic approach that includes what I have been privileged to learn from great masters - along with further training in "newer vocal methods" as well. I am deeply grateful for the experience in my life and in my singing and thrilled to see my students and younger colleagues develop!

Мой русский язык не совсем идеален, но разговорный.... и у меня особая любовь к работе с моими русскоязычными студентами. Я знакома с русским репертуаром, включая песенный романс, и особенно люблю помогать с немецким и французским репертуаром на конкурсах и прослушиваниях.

Ich finde den Unterricht bei Elizabeth so super! Man merkt einfach, dass sie eine extreme Expertise hat und ich konnte seit ich bei ihr bin, wirklich große Fortschritte bemerken. Außerdem fühlt man sich bei ihr einfach wohl und sie nimmt einen mit ihrer lustigen und liebenswerten Art wirklich total an die Hand und man hat das Gefühl super aufgehoben zu sein!!! Ich freue mich immer auf die Stunden mit ihr! Vielen Dank!

I never imagined I would learn so much in terms of technique, musicality, and language (Russian !!?) this semester AND have had so much fun doing it. I've never had a teacher who I always looked forward to lessons the way I did with you - your positive energy, kindness, talent and the really tangible growth I feel I've experienced as a singer this semester made me so excited to go every week.

Ich fühle mich im Unterricht mit Elizabeth Bice sehr wohl....Ich habe das Gefühl, das sie einen ernst nimmt und versucht das Beste aus dir herauszuholen. Mit ihrer lieben und positiven Art, ist das jedes Mal eine Freude in den Unterricht zu gehen.
