I am a guitarist/pianist/vocal coach living in Astoria, Queens. Aside from teaching privately, I am also an Adjunct Faculty at Nassau Community College, and work as a Conductor throughout the New York area

Julie has been praised as a “lovely lyric soprano" with “agile phrasing” and “considerable vocal energy". She is an accompished singer who has won many awards and accolades throughout her career.

She has performed on national tour in a select choir for Andrea Bocelli and Metropolitan Opera star, Denyce Graves. As a soloist, she performed The National Anthem at a Philadelphia Philllies and Boston Red Sox game. In addition to teaching young people in the Encore program, she has taught voice to students of all ages and stages in her private studio and in the Community Schools of Ridgewood Glen Rock, Midland Park and in Ramsey Adult School.

I graduated with my Bacholers in Music and Pyschology with a focus on opera voice in 2009. In my performance program I really grew as a vocalist and learned how to overcome my own obstacles and improve my vocal technique for myself.  I feel confident now in sharing my experience and my education with my students so they are able to really grow and improve as well.  I started professionally and privately studying vocal technique when I was 17 and prior to that I was performing musical theater in school and in community performance groups.  I really found my passion in classical repetoire and studied with numerous private teachers who were professional opera singers such as, Carol Yahr, Maria Fattore, and Annelise Von Georken.  

I have been teaching young and adult students for over ten years and have never stopped loving it.  I have a BA in TheatreVoice and an MFA in writing for the musical theatre and have performed leads on and Off Broadway in shows including "Annie" and "1776".  I was a soloist in the original company of Leonard Bernstein's Mass and was fortunate to work with the maestro himself at the Kennedy Center and The Metropolitan Opera.  I also toured nationally as featured vocalist with the Oscar winning composer Michel Legrand performing in concert halls and jazz festivals including Carnegie Hall.
