Voice Lessons in Duarte, CA

Instruments: Voice

Being fortunate enough to have been able to study voice and perform as a singer for most of my life, it seemed a logical progression to share that experience and begin teaching. Over the past 8 years I have taught and coached both privately and in group settings as well as being a Vocal Consultant for both film and theatre around Los Angeles and New York City. I am proud to say that my students have had a vast array of musical successes. Read More

I began teaching back in Boston when I was finishing up college. I immediately loved it and have been teaching now for over 7 years. I love teaching online and in person lessons in my studio, but I have also taught at various schools. I really focus on making my student comfortable and eager to learn more. I love music so much and I hope some of that shines through and inspires my students. Read More

I am here to help my students learn and grow and make progress at their own pace. I will be here to help each individual student set goals. I will be empathetic and understanding and make sure to acknowledge accomplishments throughout my time with my student to encourage them, and have them feel good and acknowledge their hard work, skills, and improvement. I hope to see or create a spark of desire and love of music and learning. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

For both voice and piano lessons, I always try to demonstrate the techniques I'd like students to learn to make sure they understand the correct way to practice. For both instruments, I use scales and chords for teaching, and I implement quite a bit of music theory in my piano lessons. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

While the technique is the same, the approach can be very different for each student. I first work on breath, then warm up the voice with exercices and then we sing and have fun. I accompany my students on the piano and encourage them to perform at recitals if they feel up for it. Working with children is different: For piano only, I use the Faber+Faber material, it's a fun and easy approach and works very well. Read More

I began teaching private music lessons in college in 2003. I have been teaching lessons consistently for the last 10 years from my home studio, online, as well as traveling to the students' home. I find great pleasure in hearing a student's progress, that's why I encourage recording their practice and having a consistent practice schedule. I feel it is important to give positive reinforcement and feedback to students. I am always excited to bring on new students of many different age groups! I believe it is important to keep the lesson interesting to the student by incorporating music for technique but also songs that the student enjoys playing.

I take a very kinesthetic approach to teaching. I believe that no matter the level or style, evey singer benefits from understanding the way their vocal anatomy functions, and how to utilize it in a healthy way. Vocal longevity is a very high priority in my studio, as is having a good time. I am a firm believer that a teacher who does not help a student fall in love with their art has not done their job.
