Founded by soprano Dr. Yixuan Han, the HanOpera Vocal Art Center is dedicated to enhancing students’ singing abilities, performance skills, foundational music knowledge, and artistic appreciation. Our mission is to cultivate exceptional singers for the global artistic stage through comprehensive and holistic training. Additionally, we offer professional guidance and training to vocal teachers and students seeking admission to prestigious music colleges worldwide.
HanOpera’s professional vocal music training is founded on the principles of voice science and advanced vocal teaching methods. Our approach involves personalized instruction tailored to accommodate the diverse needs and vocal abilities of individuals across various age groups, enabling students to showcase their optimal singing potential at different stages of vocal development. Through scientifically-grounded training and rehabilitation techniques, many students with vocal cord injuries have successfully regained their ability to sing. Furthermore, HanOpera nurtures and enhances students’ linguistic proficiency in singing by teaching songs in multiple languages, including Italian, English, French, and German.
As a testament to their rigorous training and diligent efforts, students at HanOpera consistently shine in both domestic and international vocal competitions. In addition to many students being selected for the Texas All Region / All State Voice every year, they have also repeatedly won first prizes in the TEXAS UIL Solo competition. In 2023 and 2024, many students get awards such as the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), Vienna Clara Schumann International Vocal Competition (VCSIVC), Vienna International Vocal Competition (VIVC), and others.
