Among numerous awards, she is a Kleban Prize Winner for Most Promising Lyricist in American Musical Theater, Harrington Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement and most recently garnered the award for “best musician” at the United Solo Artists Festival in New York City.

Perhaps most known for her musical, Wanda’s World, it premiered Off-Broadway at the 45th St. Theater and received two Lortel Award nominations, including Best Musical, and a Drama Desk Award nomination for Best Book.

Her pitch matching method, designed for those who believe they are tone deaf, is the subject of a research study with Dr. Monica McHenry at New York Medical College. She has given numerous masterclasses around the world and the United States on vocal health, basic vocal anatomy, mechanics and technique. She specializes in classic musical theater and CCM styles (Contemporary Commercial Music).
Ms. Falcone is currently writing a book to help her fellow teachers with those “pitch challenged” students who happen to cross their studio doors. Life’s a Pitch and Then You SPING: A Pitch Tutor’s Toolkit is due to be finished by April of 2024.
Fun fact: She was a music assistant on Broadway’s The Lion King and transcribed Lebo Morake’s music which he created and taught to the cast right in the rehearsal room!
