“The best part was daily coachings with Kathryn Wright of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. I learned SO much!“

Tricia van Ee, Minneapolis, MN

“Korby has been the most significant force in my singing life. She has an amazing passion for the craft of singing, and an expert's knowledge of vocal technique. Her artistic and technical mastery is evident in her performing as well as her teaching, and she generously shares all she knows with her students. Her humor, open-mindedness and warmth blend with her expertise to create a truly exceptional voice teacher.“

Molly Holleran, Tucson, AZ

“Korby is a great enrichment for the Top Opera program. Her power, her professionalism and her great ability to motivate singers is a perfect gift for every member of the opera program. Korby is not just a really good singing coach and pianist, but also a great personality and a wonderful part of the Achensee opera family.“

Barbara Tschugmell, Schruns, Vorarlberg

“TOP certainly changed my life!  I cannot thank you enough.“

Kathryn Wright, Music Director:

Kathy was firm, musical, encouraging, insightful and I felt that all of the coachings were incredibly productive

--- Anna Brandsoy, TOP 2005

Kathy was simply a joy to work with. She really helped me on recital and my vocal interpretation. Thank you for all your support and wealth of knowledge. It was wonderful to work with both Kathy and Julia Faulkner because they take a different approach to the same concept. I really feel that in the small amount of lessons I have really grown as a singer and am sad that my time for now is over with these fabulous teachers.

Korby Myrick, Voice and Piano:

The basics of healthy singing –that was the most important thing I had to learn—and Korby did a great job!

German classes:

Class was neat! It was great to work on common tasks, like newscasting and visiting the Reisebuero! I also like that Kathryn spoke to us in her normal speed and clarity – it made me feel more confident as a German speaker!

My German was a shambles before I went to the Tyrolean Opera Program.  The classes were great, and reinforced by having to use my German every day.  When I came back to school my coaches were astounded at my progress. Thank you!
----- Megan Candio, TOP 2005

I learned to sing and pronounce correct English.  I really needed that!

Movement classes:

The dancing lessons were great!  I loved the stretching and moving the body.
