I have had over 20 years of teaching experience in voice and guitar. In addition to my private teaching practice, I've taught at The Little Red School House in Manhattan as well as the Groove Academy in Edison, NJ. Although I have had the opportunity to teach to classes in the past, I much prefer one on one teaching.

I teach according to Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) for any level and musical genre. This method truly allows me to help singers sing in the way THEY wish to sing in, whether it's a delicate singing as in Folk music, or Extreme singing with vocal effects as in Heavy Metal. In lessons, singers and I work with a clear communication model to achieve precise results and faster development and to make sure they can recapture everything outside of the lesson as well.

Everything we do on stage begins with breath. Sing, Acting, Dancing- all of these require disciplined breath management. Once a strong foundation of good breathing is laid, I tend to use visual-spacial prompts to get the singer to feel the changes rather than use pedagogical terminology.

Everyone learns differently, and the most important thing a coach or teacher can be is a good, patient communicator. Read More
