Once again, a major move has prompted a site overhaul. I am now living in Seattle so it was time to bring this site into the new decade! I've now included all of my
teaching studio information as well as my resources into this site. I'm going through all of the pages, cutting out the dead links, adding new ones and updating the articles.
I've also added a Youtube blog, Facebook fan page and Myspace page for even more ways to stay in contact. It's hard to believe that I started this site ten years ago when the web was a new and shiny frontier. Wow, have things changed!

It's time for a change. I decided to split my professional singing information from Vocal Splendor, the singing resource.
The information for the singer, Valerie Williams can now be found at www.valeriewilliams.net. Vocal Splendor will still have all the articles and resources but with a new look.

Where did this year go?!!! I have worked very hard this summer and fall on my new, home studio. It is so nice to teach in a professional
space again with my piano, my music and all my gear. Because of this, I have not pursued as much singing work. But fret not!
I will be singing a Christmas concert with the Seattle Opera Singers on December 21st. Check my schedule page for more details!
July 22, 2003
Time for a little clean up! I decided to trim the message board and unfinished digital music page. Once apon a time, mp3.com was a great place for independent artists but no more.
I guess you will have to wait for my memoirs for the whole story. I have also added a page of Recommended Repertoire for the Voice Studio. This includes links to Sheet Music Plus and includes most of the music that I use in my voice studio.
I will be adding to it over time. Stay tuned.

I finally received the recording from my New Year's Eve concert with the Federal Way Chorale.
We performed Orff's Carmina Burana with excerpts from Handel's Messiah. You can hear the full length mp3s of my solos at my music page.
July 1, 2002
It's a whole new look! In light of my move to the Seattle area and my subsequent burgeoning singing career, I thought
a new, more professional look was in order. I've added a schedule, where you can check out where I'll be performing. I finally added some more headshots to my photo gallery. I also added a site map which will make it easier to
find what you need. I moved my awards to a separate page and picked up a new award, The Golden Cords Award. (Thanks Mark!) I updated my F.A.Q. and added some new links to my What Else page.
I will be working on getting the deeper layers of the site switched over to the new look in the coming weeks.
May 4, 2002
I added more new links to my links page.
February 23, 2002
I added a bunch of excellent, new links to my links page. I am also beginning to catch up with all the work from
my recent move, so I hope to be able to spend a little more time on this site. For those of you who have sent email, please forgive my lack of response. I'm a bit behind, I'm afraid. I will try to get back to you, though, even if it's VERY late. I really do appreciate the mail!

I have recently moved to the Seattle area so I thought a new look was in order; something to do between unloading boxes.
July 1, 2000
I have added a new link to my Music links page. I am planning some revisions for this site so check back soon.
February 7, 2000
I have just added two essays by Vocalist favorite, Dr. Diane Clark. Go to the Voice Studio to read her excellent guides to developing character studies for art songs.
September 20, 1999
I have created a new look and logo for the Voice Studio section. I wanted to make it printer friendly since I am adding more articles.
I have also added an article on jazz singing.
August 16, 1999
I have tweaked my main page, added a F.A.Q. and added some new links to my What else? page. I found a new enneagram site which has caused me to re-consider my enneagram type. I now think I am a 5 - the thinker. I guess that would stand to reason in light of the programming nerd I have become, LOL!
May 8, 1999 I added this What's New page.
