Testimonials From The Performing Arts and Business

From THE PERFORMING ARTS:
Meribeth's writings and master-classes present a vivid experience of health throughout the singing process, from basic physiological principles through to the real-time relationship with the audience. There is a wholistic joy about her work that inspires performers and listeners alike, and is able to sow seeds of re-orientation that enable singers to discover and follow new pathways of development whose ongoing value remains long after the specific class encounter is past. Her spontaneity/authority balance is superb, and I am convinced that my experience of her work has deepened and enriched my own vocal coaching more than that of any other single influence in recent years. I await with eagerness the unfolding of still further wisdom from the immensely fertile source that is Meribeth.  
Robin Bowman, Head of Vocal Studies, Guildhall School of Music and Drama


Meribeth Dayme is a true master teacher. She has a thorough knowledge of the human voice and an uncanny understanding of people and the way that we learn and process information. Her extensive academic credentials are balanced with a healthy dose of common sense. She is an experienced presenter, equally effective with classical voice teachers, pop vocal coaches, professional singers, amateur singers, choral directors, and public speakers. Meribeth's workshops are fun, interactive and informative. She always injects humor, creativity, and spontaneity in her presentations with a focus on practical application of knowledge and skills. I would recommend her workshops to anyone interested in becoming a better vocal communicator, whether singing or speaking. 
Cynthia Vaughn, co-author The Singing Book Assistant Professor of Voice, Colorado State University


'Meribeth's Masterclass at the RNCM was astounding. She taught with a simplicity and truthfulness that can only come from profound understanding. Under her expert guidance students made extraordinary, immediate and lasting transformations. Having read and enjoyed her books it was a further treat to see her teaching in action. Thank you Meribeth for your excellent work with our staff and students'.
Susan Roper, Director of Vocal Studies Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester  

 "Meribeth has transformed my (whole) approach to singing". 
Nancy Argenta, soprano, International concert artist

"To watch Meribeth (Bunch) Dayme working with singers is for teachers and students alike an inspiring experience. Starting always with the posture and having as the basis for her work her unrivalled understanding of the vocal instrument, she appears to achieve near-miracles in freeing the sound?
Hazel Wood, past president AOTOS (Teachers of Singing UK)

Meribeth Dayme is an instructor that brings together the virtues of  impeccable vocal technique and proven teaching qualifications. With her excellent communication skills and mastery of the subject matter, she will  open up new horizons for singing students and mark a fruitful period in their careers.
Maricarmen Palma, Head of the Music Department of "la Caixa" Foundation, Spain

As a teacher of voice myself, I wanted to know how the voice worked. Meribeth warmly welcomed a group of us to her excellent five-day anatomy course in London. One of her great skills was to make it seem easy to understand the physiology of the complex human body, and see the beauty of its workings. Another was to relate this information to the act of singing or speaking. Yet another, to help us relax and let the knowledge enter our long-term memories. It goes on. One of the most worth-while courses you could subscribe to.  Russell Smythe, Professional singer, Faculty, The Royal College of Music, London UK

Meribeth offers creative tools for learning. Her course work has a solid theoretical base, delivered in a practical and holistic format. She understands the artist, the teacher and the public speaker and she is not afraid to address the spiritual dimension in performance communication. [We recommend that all our trainee teachers take Meribeth's course in Vocal Anatomy.]
