Voice Lessons in Cold Spring Harbor, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice

I like to tailor my lesson plans to each individual student. For vocalists, I take age and ability into account and will usually target one or two elements of technique at a time. Once I have a grasp on their level and voice type and what sorts of music they are interested in, I will pick out repertoire that will be fun and challenging for the student, and will put into practice the elements of technique we work on in warm ups.

Petersburg. In 2015, I embarked on a new chapter in the United States, earning my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance in 2023. Currently, I'm advancing my musical expertise in the Master's program at MSM. Within the school's supportive community, I've emerged as a valued soloist, contributing to works such as Bach's "Magnificat," Mozart's "Missa Brevis in F - Benedictus," and the chorus of Verdi's "La Traviata." In the summer of 2023, I showcased my artistry on the grand stage, presenting meticulously staged and orchestrated roles at the Mediterranean Opera Festival in Caltagirone, Sicily. Read More

We work on making a holistic sound that is true and expressive. Read More
