Voice Lessons in Glenwood Landing, NY

Instruments: Voice

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

Positive reinforcement is key. I never learned from the mean or the overly strict teachers. In fact those teachers pushed me in the opposite direction of wanting to pursue music professionally. By going at the pace that is comfortable to the student, and praising them at every hurdle they encounter, the progress made can be exponentially greater than if the student is rushed to prepare a piece of music they don't truly care for in the first place.

The unfortunate truth is that there are a number of voice teachers out there who have conflated singing experience with teaching knowledge/ability to the detriment of their students. 2) My expertise is in musical theatre.

However, I am best suited to students who are MT focused. Read More

I began teaching trombone and improvisation when I was a junior in High School. Currently I am adept in Singing, Music Theory, Trombone, Bass (-classical) and Electronic Music, but I also practice Flute, Piano, Guitar,Percussion (congas) and Tap Dancing. I have been told that I have a very unconventional teaching style, but I prefer to call it simplicity. Patience is a virtue that I cherish, but I am also very persistent in teaching the ultimate realization to my student. Read More

As I said before, every student is complitely different, and is important to understand what they need from the very first time, so you can be an inspiration for them and not a waste of time. The voice technique is so important, basic, for a profesional singer, but is not the only thing you need to become a good musician/singer. Is so important to find your personality as an artist, your soul, and that is the hardest thing for a voice teacher, but when you have a student who developes that thanks to you, is the best feeling in the world.

I believe that the voice studio is a NO JUDGMENT ZONE. You have to make bad sounds to get to the good ones. True progress only happens when you allow yourself the luxury of letting go. AND PRACTICING!!!!! Read More

What I love about teaching is that each student is unique and has different types of abilities and motivations to study music. Music is a joy, but in order to get the most out of the experience of playing an instrument, there is some work involved. My style is to work on manageable goals that build a strong musical foundation, while maintaining focus on the joy that inspired the student to study in the first place. Read More
