Voice Lessons in Atlantic Highlands, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching piano and voice students for the past 7 years and have really come to enjoy the experience more and more. Encouring regular practice is definitely key, as well as giving the students a chance to work on pieces they are interested in. This tends to, in my experience, make them even more interested and motivated to practice and hone their craft. I am looking forward to bringing on new students! Read More

My passion for singing had easily translated into my passion for teaching singing. When a student has their "a-ha" moment as they figure out a solution to something they've been grappling with vocally, there is nothing more joyful. I work closely with the student to understand their goals and achieve them each class. I believe in an encouraging and safe learning environment. I am a persistent coach and I will ensure that the student is satisfied with their achievement I each and every class. Read More

I find ways to hone in on technique through song choices, visualization, the lyrics/text, poetry.

I make a point of talking with each student at the beginning of the lesson about how they are, how they feel, and if anything is going on in their life that they have strong feelings about. Listening to their voice as they talk and tell me about their day, I can hear how their voice sounds without them being self-conscious. Do they sound excited, run-down, or struggling with allergies?
