Professional/Academic Experience

Jeremy Aye has spent the last 25 years as a Teaching Artist, consistently navigating the demanding expectations as a singer and educator.

As an equal lover of operatic and musical theater repertoire, his vocal and dramatic versatility have enabled him to portray well-known baritone and bass-baritone roles such as Emile de Becque (South Pacific), Count (Le Nozze di Figaro), Sky Masterson (Guys and Dolls), Colline (La Bohème), Lancelot (Camelot), Harry Easter (Street Scene), Sprecher (Die Zauberflöte), El Gallo (The Fantasticks!) and Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni).

Before making his Carnegie Hall debut as the baritone soloist in Fauré’s Requiem, Jeremy performed with companies such as Arizona Opera, Opera Colorado, Los Angeles Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Phoenix Symphony, Opera Omaha, Kansas City Symphony, Omaha Symphony, Fullerton Civic Light Opera, and the Santa Fe Opera (Apprentice Artist). 

In addition to his solo work, Jeremy sang as an extra chorister for 15 seasons with The Metropolitan Opera, numbering over 470 performances in magnificent productions such as Aida, Turandot, Don Carlo, Parsifal, Les Troyens and Bill Budd. 

His joy in singing is only matched by his profound love of teaching. Similar to his mentor and renowned vocal pedagogue, Barbara Doscher, teaching has become Jeremy’s raison d’être. Helping singers discover their most complete, flexible and authentic voices is an exciting and rewarding process. Yet rarely is that journey clear and smooth for the singer. As an active vocal artist, Jeremy understands the tremendous responsibility of caring for a voice (and its owner’s soul) along the way.

Jeremy served as an adjunct voice professor at New York University Steinhardt for the 18 years, teaching classical and musical theater vocal performance majors, as well as the repertoire curriculum for the NYU’s Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy.  He currently serves as a full-time voice instructor at Northern Colorado University as well as Prague Summer Nights, a four-week summer music festival that produces recitals, concerts and operas in the Czech Republic. 

Equally comfortable teaching multiple vocal genres, his students range from emerging talent to industry professionals in the fields of opera, music theater, jazz, pop and singer/songwriters.  He currently maintains his online private voice studio with singers throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
