Deanna has received vocal training from some of the most important musical figures of our generation including; Marilyn Horne, Carol Burnett, Stephanie Blythe and Warren Jones.
Deanna received her Bachelor of Music at York University, followed by an artist diploma in traditional Opera at the Milano Conservatorio in Milan, Italy. Along with a thriving performance career, she is also the in-house voice teacher at Claude Watson School for the Performing Arts. Ms. Pauletto has been sought out to conduct masterclasses and workshops for numerous elementary schools and high schools within the Greater Toronto Area.
Deanna is a passionate voice teacher who is eager to share her knowledge and love for the Performing Arts. Some of her students went on to attend and graduate from prestigious post secondary vocal programs, graduate vocal programs, and conservatories throughout Canada and the US. She deeply cares and nurtures her students, helping them develop self-confidence in a fun and creative learning environment. Although she teaches all genres of music, her idea of healthy vocal technique aligns with a more classical method. This enables students to develop and progress in their vocal ability in order to sing all genres of music in a knowledgeable and healthy manner.
