Bio: Teaching: I focus on achieving vocal freedom through relaxation, body awareness, body connection and body alignment. I have 15+ years experience working with students of all levels and ages, from absolute beginner to Graduate level, in all genres of music. Mezzo-Soprano, Maria Caughey is a versatile artist who is gaining renown in theaters and concerts halls not only for her rich, telling voice, musical sensitivity and expression but also for her electric stage presence as a fearless performer. Most recently she was the cover for Donna Elvira with San Diego Opera's 2024 production of Don Giovanni as well as recitals and outreach for SDO, since she arrived in San Diego in 2020. She has performed with Washington National Opera, The Metropolitan Opera, Annapolis Opera and Opera Camerata, to name a few. ​  Maria was thrilled to be nominated for "Teacher of the Year" for Anne Arundel County Public Schools where she began her career as an Educator of General Music and Chorus(K-12). From 2012-2018 she was on the Faculty of Levine Music, a community based Conservatory in the Washington D.C./Metropolitan area teaching private voice. In addition to maintaining her own vocal studio in San Diego, she teaches with Villa Musica and San Diego Opera. Her students have won numerous Vocal Competitions and Voice Scholarships.
