Voice Lessons in Corona, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice

I base my teaching style on the individual student and how they learn.  Some students learn more by rote, others learn more by oral and others learn more by understanding theory.  I always incorporate proper technique so that the student developes as quickly as possible. For those students who like working from a more traditional sense I work primarily with the John Thompsen and Bastien Piano Methods. Other students, especially students that start at an older age I work immediately by having them play familiar songs and melodies and as their technique improves providing them with more difficult music to play.

Wanting to share my love and passion for music is the such an important role of being a music teacher. I hope to encourage my students to want to learn, practice, and preform at their own pace. I also strive to acknowledge my students accomplishments and progress to keep them motivated and eager for more. I cater my lessons to the individual wants and needs of the student in order to acheive what is best for them and keep them excited and interested. Read More

Leaning towards Pop/RB/Soul/Jazz, I'm an active performer in New York and Boston area. I'm very passionate and open minded about music and the asthetic and spreading the knowledge is my number one goal. Besides performing, teaching is the way to share and make music more available to the world. I graduated from Berklee College of Music with two Degrees in Voice Performance and Contemporary Writing and Production. Read More

Shortly after graduating college, I was hired to be a musical theatre teacher at a local dance studio where I taught dance, voice and acting. After teaching with them, I had students reach out to me to further their vocal training. I have had regular voice students for the last two years, and even after moving to New York this past fall, several of my students from California are still with me by doing lessons over Skype!

Each student is so unique, so I tailor my curriculum to fit their goals. However, I ensure that each student walks away with ownership over the fundamentals of singing technique, so that they can grow on their own. We begin with a strong foundation and breathing technique, then weave in supported singing. With emphasis on breathing, we liberate the sound and expand the range. Then, we work to find resonance and beauty in the sound, so that the student may sing whatever style they choose! Read More

Following this, we'll engage in some singing with scale degrees (numbers) i.e. 1, 1-2-1, 1-2-3-2-1 etc. It's another fun way to work on aural skills. I'll then proceed to take them through some basic foundation building technical scales and repertoire. For Intermediate students, the breathing and technical work is more advanced, I include aural studies like intervals signing and recognition and perhaps modes of major scale then we'll sing through their chosen repertoire.
