Soprano Robyn Wells has lectured in Voice at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music 1997 to 2024. She also teaches Music Performance students at UNSW, teaches at her home in Turramurra.
She has appeared extensively in England in principal operatic and music theatre roles, oratorio, and as recitalist. Her students have been finalists and winners of major Australian and International singing competitions, and have appeared as principals at Deutsch Oper Berlin, Vienna Staats Oper, Opera Australia and other houses.
Robyn’s major research interests are historic vocal pedagogy, interpreting text in song, and the contribution of yoga, Alexander, Feldenkrais etc. to singing teaching. Robyn teaches technique, diction, style, musical interpretation and performance to developing, advanced and professional singers, and prepares young singers for audition to Sydney Conservatorium and other universities.
As a teacher, Robyn aims to be encouraging, clear, honest, fun, a source of security, but also to be demanding and rigorous. She challenges students to develop self-discipline and professionalism, so they will be secure technically, musically, linguistically and dramatically, can communicate and emotionally engage in a personal and compelling way, and are prepared for the task of developing their careers
