Some past highlights of her operatic career include the Queen of the Night, Musetta, and Gilda.

Gail Cain - vocal and piano

[email protected]
My name is Gail Cain and I live in Corrales, New Mexico. I am a classically trained pianist and studied during my high school years under William Chaisson, the runner up to Van Cliburn in the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto Competition and a leading teacher in bringing advanced students to competition level performance who I won soloist awards under his instruction, three years in a row. I then studied under Timothy Hester at the Moores School of Music at the University of Houston. I have won several soloist competitions and have played accompanist to performing singers studying at university and elite singers in college preparatory schools. I have prepared singers for chorale auditions with The Houston Grande Opera and for students preparing for chorale performances and stage musical performances. I am also a keyboard player and am the keyboard player for a Led Zeppelin tribute band. I play the Jone Paul Jones keyboard scores, which are really great and as a classical pianist, I find his arrangements fun and challenging and great to perform to large audiences. I performed with the band at a huge, outdoor concert venue in downtown Houston recently. I also perform "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Vince Guiraldi piano score with my musician husband every Christmas. My recent project was developing a sign language choir at a large public school in Houston which performed several times a year for events at school.

We teach children when they are ready to learn, in the ways that they learn best, so they become ‘talented’. Starting music lessons early on teaching ages 0-12. Sight-reading, improvisation, composition, and even transposing will be second nature.
