Bio

Founded by Roc?o Guitard in 1998 the RG Vocal Studio quickly became one of the most sought after schools for vocal training in the Greater Bay Area. Combining thorough knowledge of Vocal Science and Technique with over 3 decades of Music Study and Performance RGVS takes great pride in being able to turn amateurs into viable singers (visit the Student Showcase on our web site for audio examples) as well as helping professional vocalists further their careers. Roc?o's superior technical knowledge has made RGVS the only school endorsed by the Otolaryngologists at Stanford University School of Medicine helping their patients recover their voices through vocal therapy.
Roc?o Guitard has been studying Voice and Music for over 33 years ranging from Piano Music Theory and Composition at the Royal Conservatory of Music (Madrid Spain) to Classical and Contemporary Vocal Technique with several of the world's most respected voice teachers. She has been a professional singer for over 18 years with two solo albums to her name and performing/recording from Classical Music (Grupo Cervantes) to Jazz (The Funny Valentines CrossCurrent The Mirabai Ensemble Jazz By Design) Pop/Rock (One Velvet Down Hip Affair) Salsa/Latin (Salsa Profundo) and Soul/R&B (Silicon Vibe) therefore understanding the need of a solid vocal foundation that allows her to switch from one style to the next and keep up with a demanding performing schedule. Originally from Europe she opened her studio in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1998 and has earned a great reputation for her solid teaching skills and passionate attitude. In addition she teaches regular seminars workshops and private lessons on vocal technique in Central Europe twice a year. In cooperation with Munich's Green Voices Institute she has developed a central European hub for over 500 Vocalists and Voice Professionals from 10 different countries seeking continuing education. Other institutions that Roc?o has been invited to as a lecturer include the University of Graz/Jazz Academy (Austria) the Theatre Academy of Krakow (Poland) the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (San Francisco CA) and the California State Speech Pathology Conference.

There are two additional teachers available at RGVS; Iari Melchor (Pop/R&B specialist) and Izetta Fang (Musical Theatre Specialist) both teaching the same methodology Rocio uses.
