Voice Lessons in Newton, MA

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

I love both teaching and performing voice and piano to all ages. My greatest passion is getting to share my love and lifelong pursuit of music with my students, no matter their level. When I am not teaching, I am often performing as a soprano soloist with prominent groups in Boston and around the country. In my teaching, I value healthy technique, music literacy (it is a language!), exposing students to diverse repertoire, and ample opportunities for students to play active roles in their creative development in music.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music

My teaching style is me. I work one on one with each individual student as to their age, ability and how they learn. No one size fits all and each individual learns the same concept a bit differently.

We have fun because I'm nuts...have a sense of humor. Read More

I usually try to set small goals for my students each week especially for kids as a new instrument can seem like a daunting task. Something I like to do is encouraging a students own creativity and get them to try writing their own pieces or songs. Something I find helps a lot especially with kids is acknowledging their accomplishments because it will encourage them to progress in learning. Another thing that works a lot with kids is making a game out of practicing, these kinds of things will really access their creativity. Read More
