Angela and Michael Rocchio, co-founders of the International Chant Academy…A 'dynamic duo' with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

​

Angela was incredibly pleasant to work with and made coordinating ICA’s engagement with us easy. She had endless patience while waiting for us to work out details on our end. She made chant accessible and easily understood for ALL. Her knowledge of, and dedication to researching the history and performance practices of chant, and sacred music equips her to embellish the music ministry at any parish wishing to keep alive the heritage of Catholic sacred music.

​

Michael's 'Fundamentals of Singing' workshop was extremely informative and thorough. His pedagogical approach to vocal technique makes him more than apt for teaching voice students at any level. The experience was highly participatory complete with technique coaching for individual singers, and our group sound. During my studies at the University of West Florida School of Music high quality vocal workshops were regularly presented by distinguished artists. 'Fundamentals of Singing' provided the same high quality instruction while being easy to understand, even for my less experienced singers. My well-studied musicians enjoyed the workshop just as much as those who had no previous coaching.

​

The International Chant Academy truly helped to unlock my choir's confidence in chant, and helped every singer to find their own voice. Michael and Angela have glowing personalities, a sense of humor, wonderful voices, and are very kind. My choir enjoyed their time with them immensely. I look forward to having them return."
