About Masterclass Lady

Rosanne (Giallonardo) Simunovic began her musical career in Timmins, Ontario. She studied piano with Anne Pizzale and later, at an advanced level, with Soeur Anita Vaugeois (Sister Cecile of Les Soeurs De L’Assomption in Timmins). Her vocal and accompaniment skills were nurtured by her aunt, the late Dorothea Mascioli. When Rosanne graduated from O’Gorman High School, she moved on to the University of Toronto where she continued her piano and vocal studies while attaining a Bachelor of Arts Degree. She was hired as a piano accompanist for several musical companies, most notably, the National Ballet Of Canada. She presently holds an A.R.C.T. Teacher’s Diploma in Voice from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. Rosanne has studied choral conducting with numerous well known Canadian Conductors, including Wayne Riddell of Montreal, Quebec and the internationally renowned Dr. Elmer Iseler. She has been a founding member of numerous community-based arts organizations: the Timmins Arts Council, later known as Arts & Culture Timmins, the Timmins Symphony Orchestra, and, the Timmins Youth Singers…as well as the TYS Alumnus choir, the Timmins Concert Singers. In 1987, she was also selected to be the conductor of the Timmins Board Of Education Choir, comprised of talented students from Grades 5 to 8. In 1988, she was elected to the Board Of Directors of the Ontario Choral Federation (now known as Choirs Ontario), where she served as Chair of the Festivals Committee for six consecutive seasons. In 1996, in honour of the Ontario Choral Federation’s 25th Anniversary, Rosanne was selected as one of 25 recipients of the OCF’s Distinguished Service Award for outstanding contribution to the choral art. The ceremony was presided by Lieutenant Governor, Hal Jackman. In November 1997, Rosanne Simunovic was selected by the Rotary Club Of Timmins to receive the prestigious Paul Harris Award for her years of dedication to the artistic development of young musical talent in Timmins. In August of 2002, Rosanne Simunovic was selected by the Board Of Directors of Choirs Ontario to serve as Conductor of both the Provincial Junior and Teen Choir Camps, now renamed in honour of the Camp Benefactors, Don and Lillian Wright. In November 2002, Rosanne was the one of the recipients of the Commemorative Medal for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, honouring her work in the development of the arts in Timmins.

    Just wanted to thank you for your many vocal tips. I have used many of them in my vocal lessons, and can say without a doubt that they really help! My range has increased by using your tips, not to mention the overall tone and quality of my vocals.

    I also appreciate keeping up with the American Idol contestants through you; keep up the good work!

    One more thing, if you follow the link on my name, you won’t get me, I’ve moved on from that address to this new one; http://www.stonerosevalley.com. I tried signing in on my new one, but WordPress wouldn’t let me; go figure. 🙂
    Just thought I’d save anyone interested a couple clicks, as you’d only be redirected following my name. 🙂

    Again, thanks for all you do here through your blog!

    Hi there StoneRose:

    I am so glad that my tips and suggestions have assisted you in your vocal development.

    It’s difficult to know how to assist singers solely through the written word and I often wonder if everyone is understanding all the technical jargon.

    So, this makes me happy – to know that some of my ideas are being correctly channelled.

    Also, I have added you link to my sidebar, incer the WordPress.Com Buddies section.

    Thanks for your link as well and for your support. It is greatly appreciated.

    P.S. You have a lovely blog, by the way. I will have to take a longer look tomorrow, but sleep beckons me!

    MasterClassLady,

    Well, put your mind at ease, because your written tips have been some of the most useful I have ever received in my many years of vocal training!

    Thanks for the link! Always appreciated!

    As for my support of your site; it has definitely been the best, most accurate American Idol & Related blog/site I’ve ever come across (and I’ve done a good bit of surfing myself in this category). I’m only too happy to direct any of my readers and friends on to your site!
