Scott Dankert

Teaching Artist and Accompanist, Voice and Piano

​Scott Dankert is what some call a “Renaissance Man” in the world of music. Upon graduating from Michigan State University with a bachelor’s degree in flute performance, he moved to Chicago to play in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. After a few years in the city, his musical interests shifted toward singing, and he studied with a number of reputable voice teachers in Chicago to hone his countertenor voice and gain knowledge to share with others. Thus, began his love of coaching singers of all ages and levels of experience on how to find and use their voices to sing in a wide range of styles. In addition to playing the flute and singing, he grew up playing piano and gained experience as an accompanist while he was in high school, accompanying the middle and high school choirs, and accompanying his friends when they performed solos. He is also a piano accompanist for Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago
Waldorf School, and his voice can be heard in the alto sections of St. James Cathedral Choir and Bella Voce Chicago, as well as in demo recordings on the website for Chicago based music publisher GIA
Publications.
