A Lifetime of Music

Praised for her rich tone and Italianate style, Amanda Guidi is an operatic soprano and instructor based in the north Texas area. She is currently a third-year doctoral student at the University of North Texas.

 

During her time at UNT, she championed the role of the top-billed character Elaine in John Musto’s Later the Same Evening. Ms. Guidi has also performed La Ciesca (Gianni Schicchi) and covered the titular role of Suor Angelica at the Red River Lyric Opera Summer Festival as a young artist. During her master’s degree at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, Amanda performed in a staged debut of Jake Heggie’s Into the Fire, and as a chorus member of Massenet’s Cendrillon and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro.

 

During her time at the Eastman School, she performed live in a master class led by the renowned opera star Renee Fleming. On the concert stage, she has performed with the Rome Symphony Orchestra, Berry College Symphonic Orchestra, and the Berry College Wind Ensemble where she received her bachelor’s degree.

 

Originally from the metro-Atlanta area, Ms. Guidi founded two Title-I general music programs teaching K-6 grades. Her passion for teaching has lasted through the years, and she currently holds a position as a Teaching Fellow for the University of North Texas, where she leads a lecture class and maintains a private voice studio.

 

As a voice teacher, Ms. Guidi’s personal pedagogy is rooted in the well-balanced voice. Having studied bel canto technique and the writing of the great masters, she works to train each area of the voice, creating strong and flexible singers with beautiful tone.

 

When she’s not teaching or singing, Ms. Guidi enjoys cooking for her friends and family, traveling to new places, and taking long walks with her two dogs, Winnie and Georgia.
