This man is the last of the great teachers of singing in the bel canto vocal style. He is the only teacher in the world today who teaches singers to sing from the neck down instead of from the neck up. He teaches breathing as the solution to every problem that can happen vocally to a singer. He teaches that actions in the throat, such as opening the throat or raising the soft palate, must only occur as reactions to breathing and never as movements that are independent of the inhalation process. He studied only with professional singers who had long careers as performers of major operatic roles in the largest theaters in the world. His teachers were mack harrell, who switched him from singing as a basso to singing as a tenor. Next was olga ryss. Then he studied with richard tucker, fredreick dahlberg, lauritz melchior, helge rosvaenge, and mario del monaco. He also had a few lessons and a lot of discussions about how to sing with giovavvi martinelli, jussi bjoerling, fritz wunderlich, dame joan sutherland, and countless other famous singers. Trimble is unique in several ways in that he will not reveal who has studied with him, although some of the most famous singers in the world sent hiim students. George london and jerome hines, dame joan sutherland and richard bonynge recomended him as the only teacher who could teach the bel canto method. Dick marzollo, first coach at the metropolitan opera, sent a few singers to trimble to learn how to sing a true legato. Because a trimble tenor student sang so beautifully in his master class in 1979 at juilard, pavarotti sent two tenors to the great maestro. Trimble is now in his eighties and is still teaching full time on skype, having adapted perfectly to a new, modern approach to carrying on the imense, encyclopedic knowledge that makes him without peer the greatest singing teacher since giovanni lamperti.
Thanks for writing this coment! Its amazing how much i didnt know about this teacher and singing in general.
Random Person On Street: "Hi how are you?"
Me: *spontaneously sings with open throat* IM FINE HOW ARE YOU
LOL
I am just relieved that I discovered this kind of singing through another professor of singing. This is the only way to do it if you want to be heard above the orchestra and still feel that you have voice and energy to spare. And you could sing like this even with a cold.
It must be nice to be your student. It'll never be boring. 😁
😃😃👍
And the info you'd get would be TOTALLY priceless and insurmountably more helpful and practical than any other coach you could possibly find on TH-cam.
More i learn, more i find out how much i don't know !!!
Arjang G preach
Same :(
Hello Sokrates
Dude - How true:
I didn't know what - and how-much - I didn't know.
I was close to giving up on singing because of how complicated most vocal teachers make it seem, but your techniques and methods are SO much more intuitive and i see a marked improvement in my voice. Thank you, thank you, thank you
He’s the absolute best teacher on this planet.
I would never be bored with him as a teacher. Very enlightening with some hilarious examples
"vertically open all the way down, hopefully till your tailbone" :-) Well that is clear enough , indeed!
In his book he talks about Joan Sutherland in a masterclass - when asked where she breathed - replyong: up my rectum :).
Oh my goodness, this is the only video about open throat that's actually worked, thank you so much.
Goodbye to strain.
this has to be the best singing lesson Ive seen so far.
Well, i like how you imitate the wrong patterns, specially the "dusty baritonesound with the overrounded mouth"!
Your voice with the open throat sounds healthy. That is a good sign!
Your humour is refreshing!
incredible! you just summed up vocal technique in 5 minutes!!
I love this guy! Really badass!
Great Michael! No nonsense advise. Excellent!
Brilliant! I finally understand this. Thanks so much. Great explanation
This is wonderful advice. I would love to read your book.
You are so much fun and at the same time knowledgeable! Thanks so much
Thank you, Mr trimble. Bought your book a few months ago.
Maestro Trimble, how nice to see a vocal channel with the comment section turned on. Bravo!
Dear Michael- These videos are so helpful to remember what was talked about in lessons. Also, your humor (vocal and otherwise) is infectious. As Fantastic 2064 has said, you are the last of a breed. Sadly, one HAS to have one on on with such great teachers to convey/transmit this 'tradition' of Bel Canto. I am so thankful to have worked with you. God bless.
Posting to say your stuff is still awesome. I found this today and its great. Have some engagement!
Got Covid and I'm learning to sing, and I guess, to talk again, and all of this is very helpful. I don't have anything to give, but my gratitude and appreciation, so, thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you 1 million times. Wish I could thank you in person.
wow you made it so simple thank you
I was blown away by your singing, checked out your website and listened to some of the songs there that were sung by you and my mind just exploded (in a good way). I'm totally buying your book! I will opt for the digital version cause the book version would take forever to arrive at my home (I live in Brazil). Thank you VERY MUCH for all the tips you put on youtube.
Thank! This is exactly what I'm looking for
Michael is no only a fantastic singer and teacher, he also is also a delightful entertainer. One wants to study, to leran and to sing instead of getting confused and tired! Such a good sense of humor !!!
Love you man, what a teacher!!
This is an amazing video!
One very smart guy right there!
genius also the funniest man on TH-cam it just makes sense thankyou thankyou thankyou
Mr. Michael, thank you for the AMAZING lesson. I am a Byzantine Music singer and the open throat is something used even today in the traditional Greek Patriarchal way of singing. I've been really suffering to find to CORRECT way to do it and I must say this lesson is truly beyond any doubt the ONLY way to go.
I am a byzantine chanter as well and came across the video in an attempt to understand things a bit better.
OH MY GOD YOU JUST CHANGED MY LIFE THANK YOU
I found a real internet treasure today. Admire your work and love on this channel so much sir. I wish you a great health
Every teacher has their own perspective on how to sing. Most of them want the same thing. It's all a bit vague and subjective so good luck!
Adore your explanation:))! Bravo MAESTRO!
Wow this is the best video on this topic very nice
Hallelujah ! I teach this from my practice in Cambridge, UK. Admittedly, I came to it later than I would have liked, but it came from a Spanish tenor who knew what he was talking about. You have no idea how difficult a job it is when you are knee high in itty bitty mosquito voices invading choral music in Cambridge, and it's considered good singing ! So very relieved to have found this channel.
Ty, for the awesome lesson....
This is a great description!
Thanks Mike.
omg so well explained thank you so so much
THIS. IS. GOLD.
Thank you this is very helpful.
I love this man!
Thankyou so much for the shtai tip. It's amazing and I get it, I love your videos which I can understand,
Good information!
Love way you demonstrate with no fear sounding ridiculous like most starting singer like me sound.
Thank you so much !!
Finally one who speaks the truth and very importantly debunks myths. It was Edgar Herbert-Caesari who said “the pharynx is the real mouth of the singer” published in several of his books. Maestro, please get in touch.
So interesting. I don't hear many people talk about Caesari when they talk of vocal pedagogy. I always wonder why that is the case?
Bravissimo!!!❤
hahahaha, you are so funny and educative at the same time, i love you already and i only watched 2 videos
Thank you! I can hit high notes but I was wondering why other singers sound like their voice is flying when they belt, i'm not. I've heard about open throat placement and I think it's what I need to learn. And finally this is the video that is most effective for me. You have a new subscriber🎉
You sound great. I wish I could have learned from you.
How refreshing to have found another incredible singing teacher aside from the one that I already have. Thank you Mr. Trimble. If I might just add that for those in Ontario, Canada, Mr. Tom Schilling, who is of the same vintage as Mr Trimble, teaches an almost identical philosophy. I have never sung so freely. If classical singers followed this wonderfully, much more simple and natural technique,, we would have many more beautiful singers with many more individual sounds, which would make watching opera more entertaining. Instead, we get the loud wooly forced sounds of the “new” technique that makes all singers sound the same…I’m afraid often like strained fog horns.
I liked you so much! Thank you for the awsome tips!
This simple 5 and a half minute video, completely changed my voice. Doing this one simple thing in this video, freed my range and made singing so much more effortless and no fancy terms, simply this is what it is, and this is how it works. Thankyou.
Great video Michael ! What should we do with all of the Melochi - ites / audiophiles who have never studied , or sang in church ? I love Corelli , Caruso , Del Monaco etc. they never mention Frank Volker , Max Lorenz , Wolfgang Windgassen , or the great Set Svanholm who all had and sang the incredible Seigfried ‘s High C . One mentioned Sergi Lemoshev . They are all frustrated singers , and record collectors .
Good job!
Love this!

I’ve tried that mouth shape and OMG😮 I now have that ringing quality that I’ve envied in my favourite singers (Cece Winans, Beyoncé) amazing this Italian school of voice
Wonderful
I hope this guy is still around
Reminds me of the great Dickson Titus: never a dull moment!
Great stuff, thank you +
it's perfectly nice
"It soudns like.... I won't say what" haha you are amazing!
I think this is a wonderful starting point for healthy singing, but depending on your genre and desired sound, bright dark thin full.
Really enjoying the practical points and clarity of your instruction! My mother was an opera singer back in the 40s and 50s and taught her 4 children to sing correctly, turned us into a singing group. I now teach and am a recording artist, but as I peruse the varied advisory videos out there, the plethora of tips can lead us away from the basics of singing and into fighting our own voices. Loving what these practical and basic instructions are doing for me as I try them in the moment. Real good stuff! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!
Thank you kindly! And I am and I will continue... You are hibrow compared to my mother, Jane DeMars Miller....She was only a semi-pro in Hartford, CT, singing at the Bushnell Memorial Theatre and a paid soloist in the Baptist Church. (The paid em back in the day!) She studied under Rea Masacott in Hartford, and was a featured lyric soprano. She has pieces written for her voice in that arena. She was special. And she shared her voice her whole life, sang up to her late 70s with still clear tones and power! She used the Bel Canto around the house and taught us some of it.... The joy of singing is the health of the voice and the freedom to sing, thus the individual voice shining. You are a gift to youtube to keep the modernistic viewpoints and ill advised techniques from ruining voices. ...Just had to answer back with a bit more! Best and Blessings to you!
And small potatoes that we are, I spelled Bel Canto wrong in the moment. :) So many talented people ...even from small CT.
i like it, you sounded likethe actor in 30 rock from the sun in one of those impersonations
Michael !!this idea can be aplied todo any singing style right ? Really good videos . Thanks for the insights !!
I did all the SP lifting, larynx lowering, forward pinching rubbish you say to avoid. Then i threw it out and worked this out myself. It just FEELS right. Uppy-downy. Vertical yet lifted. It would have been quicker with your help tho.
Wow, I tried this and Immediately my voice became louder and mucchhh fuller in tone, also way more freeing feeling when singing
This is god like info!! ;D
QUEEEEEESTIOOOOOON. (my son thinks I´m crazy) Loved this video, thanks.
Unlearning all my bad habits starting..now.
Me too
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS A LOT! YOU TRULY ARE A MIRACLE, MR. TRIMBLE! ❤❤❤
I have a question though, despite you have access to teaching people opera face to face but do you by all means teach people through Skype like for example if someone is from a different country who wishes to learn opera, will you mentor them by skyping with them?
Yes, Abby. I teach in 34 countries on Skype. Write to me at tvi@biwifi.com and get some info as to how to get lessons on Skype. Thanks for the good words! MT
“The true mouths of the singer is the pharynx”
Well said. 🙏
That was hilarious 😂 when you sang through the nasal passage.
Thanks
These are great but I wish there were lessons in order. Like a course rather than free standing advice and discussions . I want lessons with this guy!
Shame on me, and god bless you. Happy to know that someone like you out there.
Hilarious but I can't wait to try it.
Most modern baritones sound precisely like what you described 🤣 (hint: they are actually tenors)
Whatever you say, this old man is only i trust to
Dear Maestro Trimble
What do you think of falsetto developement? Does it impact the breathing?
Kund Regards
00:01:57 is just amazing !
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Dear Mr. Trimble,
I really like your Videos and how you explain all the technical stuff step by step.
I am a 22 year old tenor (former young Baritone) from Germany and now in my last year of my bachelors.
I am currently looking for the right teacher because I feel technical things that I can't solve by myself and with my studies.
If possible I would like to send you a recording and hear your opinion about my singing.
All the best und liebe Grüße aus Düsseldorf, Deutschland,
Raoul Düsterhus
Thank you for your reply!
You got a message on tvi@biwifi.com with all information.
Ich freue mich auf Ihre Antwort!
Liebe Grüße, Raoul
@Raoul Simon, did you take the lessons?
Sir any tips reguarding vocal distortion...i am a rock singer...and your techniques are a charm for me...please help 🙏🙏🙏 love from india
So when breathing downwards, is that referring to lower the larynx
BUENAS NOCHES! PODRÍA HABLAR DE LOS AGUDOS...COMO LLEGAR MAS FACIL A ELLOS!! DIOS LE BENDIGA!
Wow👍👍👍👍
I fucking love this guy
@3:13 :D, merci pour la vidéo. C'est vrai ce que vous dites
I would like a lesson. Is this possible?
thank u for ur explanation actually Imma learning vocal and most of vocal teacher on TH-cam and my vocal teacher said how to open throat are with yawning but I never felt my throat are open when Inna yawning thank u for helping me to sing better.
I'm still curious people said we should sing on the mask and resonance on our back throat or neck can u explain to me why?
Love your explanation, best one I've came across. One day I'll get lessons and I hope it's someone with such expertise.
sir that's mean we should not raise our soft palate intentionally, or raise it in some cases ?
Singing with a properly "trained" voice is much more natural and easy than modern scientific teachers would like to believe. Although the breathing process is greatly amplified. Learned this from Maestro Kirschner
Your so GENEROUS IM IN ITALY DO U EVER COME DOWN HERE?
Michael Trimble thank u Very much for replyng me.
Michael Trimble time dosent exist
true stuff
