Voice Lessons in Manhattanville, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe it is important for voice and piano students to have a basic understanding of music theory, as well as technique. I pull material from a variety of sources. For piano, I typically use Bastien and/ or Hal Leonard. For voice, I build a build upon the "legit" classical foundation of voice training (Similar to a dancer learning ballet first, before other forms of dance) Following that, I cultivate my students to find their own particular genre of vocal style.

It is really rewarding when I see my students develop their passion for music and reach their goals. I tailor my teaching style to my students’ wants and needs and I let each student progress at their own pace. I also think it’s really important to set realistic goals, because acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student’s desire to progress. I focus on technique just as much as developing artistic expression. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

I teach both voice and guitar. As an instructor of voice I start with Breathing exercises, posture, and ear training. I take methods from "The Singing Book" by Maribeth Dayme Cynthia Vaughn. With children, I gage how well their grasping the fundamentals before learning songs. Once we've gotten their we move forward to learning about different techniques. What I enjoy most is getting to know my student. Often times students show / tell me what their interested in learning, as each student is a different learner! Read More

Instruments: Voice Music

One thing I love to implement early on is that your student shouldn't put themselves in a box. Many singers refer to themselves as "an opera singer" or "a belter" and I believe that all-singing styles benefit each other. There is a healthy way to explore all singing styles, and being fluent in those styles will make you more versatile throughout your whole life. For beginning singers, I would begin with the basics of music reading and simple melodies that would be recognizable to their ears. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

Read notes on the treble and bass clef. Understand the notes of the piano keyboard and music staff and MORE! As much as I loves teaching and building relationships with music students in my studio, I do not believe lessons should be limited to the classroom. The training process will include performing at small and large venues, which will help students learn the importance of stage work. My goal is to teach students the necessary rudiments of music and performing so he/she can go out into the world and shine as a polished musician. Read More
