Jeanette Furgo has been teaching private voice lessons since 2001. She began teaching in Keller ISD in 2013 and has taught at 6 different schools in the area. She started teaching at Timber Creek HS in 2021 and already feels at home! Jeanette has two major loves – jazz and opera. She has been an actively gigging jazz singer in California and Texas since 1998. She sings with her own jazz quintet and Buddy’s Big Band, a 19-piece swing big band. She is also a member of the Fort Worth Chorale and Fort Worth Opera Chorus. She has had the honor of singing with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra about 5 times. She is the principal singer of the national anthem for the Fort Worth Vaqueros soccer team. Jeanette minored in music from Brigham Young University in 1998 (majored in Humanities with an English emphasis). One of her greatest joys is helping her voice students discover how therapeutic singing can be, both for the singer and the audience.

Called a “stand-out soloist” by the Dallas Morning New, countertenor Nicholas Garza has been hailed for his artistry being “full and fluent, glowing on top, dispensed with the loveliest legato.” Also noted as an “appealing tenor, sinewy in lower register, sweetly soft-edged on high.”
As A competition winner in Classical Voice/Tenor at the 2010 NFAA YoungARTS, Garza has performed with Mountainside Baroque in Maryland as the Tenor soloist for Telemann’s oratorio Der Tod Jesu, was alto soloist for the Big Moose Bach Festival in New Hampshire, and joined the cast of Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro at the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival as a professional fellow. He worked with noted singer and conductor Simon Carrington as a singing fellow at the 2011 and 2012 Norfolk Chamber Music Festival of Yale University. He preforms with Chicago Arts Orchestra, Austin Baroque Orchestra, and many other early music ensembles in the U.S.
Locally, Garza can be seen with groups including the Dallas Bach Society, Orpheus Chamber Singers, Orchestra of New Spain, the Fort Worth Opera Chorus, and Christ the King Catholic Church. Originally from Harlingen, TX, Garza was a 4 year Texas All-State mixed choir member and studied at the University of Texas at Arlington as a Vocal Performance major with Jing Ling-Tam and David Grogan.
