顺手搜了一下某人的voice coach Beatrice Webster。
---------------------
Singing teacher, born in 1923. Died on Monday, aged 79.
There is hardly a New Zealand singer anywhere in the world who has not felt a great sadness at the news of the passing of Beatrice Webster, MBE. Nearing 80, she was finally claimed by leukaemia.
For almost seven decades she had been devoted to the world of singing, beginning her own lessons here with Ernest Drake and then studying in Europe with the famous Lucie Manen.
Back in New Zealand, where the opera and choral scene was struggling literally to make its voice heard, Beatrice Webster coached and conducted, animated and adjudicated, and made musical miracles happen in the voices she took over as much as in the choirs and concerts she propagated like flowers in her path.
Beatrice Webster was Auckland's unsung voice teacher. Everyone knew that Dame Sister Mary Leo had produced some world-class singers, but few realised that for more than half her life Beatrice Webster had been unlocking voices - sometimes with Herculean effort and care - from a huge number of emerging New Zealanders. She had her share of high-flyers, and in the 1980s, as voice consultant to the Australian Opera Company, she worked on roles with opera legends such as Sutherland, Pavarotti and Freni.
