There\u2019s a lot of hard work necessary,\u201d says Marchio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">According to the Italian-born coach, she only started singing lessons when she turned 20 and studied singing with Flora Nielsen at the Royal Academy at the suggestion of renowned accompanist Gerald Moore, before studying with Fred Dalberg and later with Andr\u00e9 Turp.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Marchio is married to the guitarist Uliano Marchio, and together they formed the Duo Marchio and performed extensively in South Africa and several European and Middle Eastern countries in concert and on radio and television.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Marchio returned to Cape Town in 2004. She teaches 10 students privately and through the music centre, focusing on different singing techniques.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">According to Marchio, children should not start singing lessons at a young age because their voices need to be fully developed. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">She says she teaches students aged 16 years and older because their voices are fully developed. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThere are no short cuts for learning how to sing. It takes hard work, time and patience,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cYou cannot buy a voice. A voice is a God-given talent that you have to look after and when you use it incorrectly, it could be damaged forever. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cIt\u2019s up to you to make it the best you can make it and make your voice the best it can be. Once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Marchio, who has had a long, career, has met many wonderful people and has been afforded many opportunities, says she loved performing in Italy \u2013 \u201cthe land of the opera\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Over the years Marchio has performed at many theatres and on radio and has sung in oratorio and in leading operatic roles \u2013 Mimi, Butterfly, Musetta, Violetta, Suzel, and Susanna in <em>Il Segreto di Susanna <\/em>to name a few. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>She made her Italian debut in the title role of Puccini\u2019s <em>Suor Angelica <\/em>at the Roman Amphitheatre in Benevento, but she says it takes a lifetime to accumulate a curriculum like hers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">She says her advice to those who want to start singing is that you have to bring something of yourself to every performance. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to imitate anyone. You want to be able to say what Frank Sinatra said: \u2018I did it my way\u2019.\u201d <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">The 74-year-old says she has no plans to retire just yet. \u201cYou should teach with enthusiasm until you are tired.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marisa
