In 2015, Cherry Duke joined the faculty of the University of Texas at El Paso, where she teaches applied voice and is the Director of Opera UTEP. Additionally, she teaches private voice lessons in New York and El Paso and consults on personal marketing and career building for performing artists. She is also available for master classes and arts marketing/music business seminars nationwide.
Cherry’s focus in voice lessons is healthy vocal production and freedom of expression, regardless of style. Emphasis is on physical alignment and balancing vocal registers. Awareness of body and mind/thoughts is strengthened. Cherry teaches with kindness, empathy and positive affirmations.
