About
Donna M. A. Harrington is a local singer songwriter from Scituate, Massachusetts, USA. She has been singing, composing music, and writing songs most of her life. She started singing in childhood and continues to this day. She sings and writes songs about anything that inspires her such as love, faith, and the ocean (link to watch). She also loves singing Christian hymns, sacred arias in church, old Irish songs ( link to listen), and traditional music. Her desire is singing for the pure joy of it and the study of voice as an art form. She finds her greatest joy singing in church with her favorites such as Ave Maria - Schubert; Ave Maria, Bach - Gounod; Panis Angelicus - Saint Thomas Aquinas, and more.
Donna has been an instructor for decades, teaching beginner to professional voice instruction, voice coaching, composition, and songwriting. She also teaches guitar and piano. She is a passionate educator and loves to help artists reach their goals. She started teaching voice, songwriting, and guitar in her late teens, continuing teaching throughout her college years while working full time in finance and business management. In her youth, Donna started singing in the church choir at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Scituate, Massachusetts. She began classical voice studies with Paula Carroll, the church Choir Director. She continued voice studies into her adulthood and has sung in church choirs most of her life. She continues to sing locally in church choir to this day. Her years of experience, daily practice, and voice studies have built a strong foundation of knowledge. She has dedicated years in professional classical voice studies, popular voice methods, private instruction, professional expert courses, performance, and college education majoring in music, fine art, and business studies. Specialized vocalises, breathing exercises, scales, and a custom blend of Italian classical studies and popular voice techniques are some of the factors that helped shape her own unique voice methods.
