Voice Lessons in Lakeside, NJ

Instruments: Voice

I teach vocal technique to students of all ages and genres. For beginner students I work on each of their registers (chest voice, head voice, mix and flageolet) emphasising range and flexibility to begin with and then adding strength work as we progress. The student and I will choose repertoire appropriate to their level while still posing a challenge to apply their newly learned technique in the context of singing a song. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I like to tailor my lesson plans to each individual student. For vocalists, I take age and ability into account and will usually target one or two elements of technique at a time. Once I have a grasp on their level and voice type and what sorts of music they are interested in, I will pick out repertoire that will be fun and challenging for the student, and will put into practice the elements of technique we work on in warm ups.

I graduated with my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Musical Theater from the prestigious College Conservatory of Music at The University of Cincinnati (CCM) in 2016. CCM is the oldest Musical Theater program in the United States, with dozens of students working on Broadway. While pursuing my career on the stage, I have spent the past 5 years teaching private vocal coaching lessons primarily to children 8-18. I would love to help you or your child build confidence in their individual abilities, develop technique and range, and choose songs and repertoire unique to them. Read More

I aim to make each lesson special, tailoring it to what each student needs. It's not just about learning the technical stuff; it's about helping them love music, understand it, and enjoy expressing themselves through it. Teaching, for me, isn't just about lessons. It's like being a guide on a journey. I'm there to help students discover their potential, navigate the ups and downs of making music, and, most importantly, to make sure they enjoy every step of the way. Read More

I possess excellent communication skills, that is to say, I listen well to my students before I speak. My students are free and encouraged to express their goals and they become comfortable doing so. They begin to understand that even though I am their instructor, we are working as a team and that my goals for them are directly tied to the goals they have set for themselves. I always use easy to understand and practical piano books chosen based on the student's experience, age, and goals. Read More

My teaching style focuses on what most interests the student and draws them to the particular instrument. We explore different song styles and different exercises that speak to each individual student. I also believe in regularly providing constructive criticism and encouragement for each student's accomplishments. The more you inspire your student, the more driven they become. I encourage students to pick their favorites styles and songs to work on and we then take it from there and provide inspiration and a bit of fun! Read More

I have been working with piano and voice students for more than 20 years. My students came from different cultures and backgrounds. Teaching young piano students is my specialty. Many kids are struggling with focus and discipline, so piano is a tool to improve their focus and discipline. Playing Piano is multi tasks, because pianists are reading two different clefs at the same time plus handling the paddle. It takes a great deal of coordination. Read More
