Voice Lessons in Kendall Park, NJ

Instruments: Voice

I always provide my students with recordings of the exercises we do in class, so that they can practice during the week. I constantly show images of the vocal instrument, Its really important for the student to understand their mechanism, and when teaching young people I share the same information but using a more digestible vocabular. For the songs, whenever its possible, we use the music score, so that I can introduce music theory little by little. Read More

My focus with younger students is to instill a passion and excitement for music while developing fundamental techniques. Read More
