Journey Through Folk Music from Mexico and Beyond
Dr. Juanita Ulloa is an Operachi singer/pianist/songwriter, linguist, and author with 30 years of international solo concerts in Spain, Mexico, Latin America, and the USA, along with seven prize-winning Mexican folksong CDs and five songbook publications to her credit (Classical Vocal Reprints). She champions under-represented vocal works and folk music from Mexico, Spain, and Latin America, as well as women composers and children’s bilingual songs with her own originals. A former opera singer, Dr. Juanita Ulloa is a pioneer for inclusivity and diversity in commercial song (CM) alongside classical singing, the common thread being the solid vocal technique. She works closely on the boards for various chapters of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (SFBAC-NATS and CCC-NATS).
Dr. Ulloa trains vocally with Jane Randolph and holds music degrees from Yale University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Northern Colorado. The songstress has taught at Austin Community College, the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), and Texas State University. She currently teaches voice at San Joaquin Delta College and Laney Community College in Northern California, along with a private voice studio training singers online and in person from many countries. She is frequently sought after by universities and conferences for master classes, concerts, and workshops in Mexico, the United States, and abroad, especially celebrating her new landmark book authored with Oxford University Press: THE MARIACHI VOICE: Amazon or Oxford University Press.
