Music Lessons in Kensington Heights, NY

Instruments: Voice

I am from a traditional classical singing background. I use vocal exercises to not only strenghen the voice but to build a strong singing foundation. Hopefully, by the end of the lessons there will be no need for a microphone. For young singers we will focus on classic tradional basic song literature as well as have fun with popular music. Adults can bet that I will help them fine tune and build a sound and secure vocal technique for what ever repertoire they are needing guidance on. Read More

I try my best to make sure that in the process of learn about the instrument, we also have fun as well. Working on rudiments, placement, keeping time, different grooves, active listening, dynamics are all important things that I love to start off with! When people think Learning the Basics, they think of the most boring and not fun things. Learning the basics is an excellent way of growing into a great musician! Read More

I've always loved the art of music and how it's a language that anyone can relate too. That is what motivated me to get a degree in Performing arts, with the focus on classical guitar. Preforming and teaching has been one the most gratifying experience of my career. I've had the opportunity to play in Europe and all over the United States. But, teach is my true passion and the excitement when a student is excelling can't not me matched. Read More
