Voice Lessons in Elmwood Park, NJ

Instruments: Voice

It is good to start singing lessons around age 11, when the voice starts to change - even though it can feel awkward at first. There are hormonal, physical, and emotional changes in those early teen years that respond well to the lyrics and stories told in many contemporary songs. I work to match the stories as well as melody and vocal range to the songs I give all my students. Read More

All of my lessons, regardless of instrument, begin in the same way: warm ups! I tailor warm ups to the student's repertoire and change it up frequently so the student doesn't get bored or go on autopilot. For all vocalists, regardless of age, we work on breathing properly and posture, then moving on to tone and stylistic choices. For my instrumentalists, we work on breathing, proper technique for their instrument, and age appropriate repertoire. Read More

My first concern when I meet a student is to raise their interest and curiosity about music.

I've been making music since I was twelve-years-old. Not long after I started writing, I found a vocal coach, as well as a producer and mentor who began recording me. From there I recorded two albums, opened for numerous recording artists, built a recording studio, created a band and got accepted into California Institute of the Arts and Berklee College of Music. I chose CalArts so I could double-major in music as well as acting. Read More

I grew in artistry and performed some of my own works in New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. Read More

In my lessons, I specifically strive to develop a unique plan unique for each student to ensure that needs and interests are being acknowledged so the student is getting the most out of each lesson that he or she can.

I like to motivate the students to learn. I will teach fundamentals and theory through teaching guitar, voice or piano.

I like to make the lesson fun, including the student's interests for every age and level. Read More
