Voice Lessons in Northridge, CA

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

Being a person and friend rather than a "teacher" helps establish a nice atmosphere during the lesson, although it is important to be able to show authority as needed. First and foremost the student needs to have fun at class, otherwise he/she won't work on his/her own at home. I believe it is important to play a lot in the lesson, playing along with the student, listening to tunes, or just jamming together, all of these examples help spark creativity, which is a very important part of every musician.

Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Ukulele

For beginners, I firmly believe in establishing strong fundamentals. However, you can't spell fundamentals with out "fun"! So, even while building fundamentals, music lessons should be fun and geared toward what the student wants out of all of this. Whether that's learning a specific song, style, cool musically visual trick, or just jamming, I'm here for it all! Musical journeys are specific to the individual and therefore there is no one path that all students must follow. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I started teaching in New York after my fans started asking for lessons. All students agree on one thing: their singing definitely improved. Some of my students ended up on X Factor and The Voice. I can prepare you or your child for singing castings not only with the vocal technique but with the repertoire as well. I tend to be very straight forward and honest about a student's musical abilities and would never mislead a person into continuing with music if he/she doesn't demonstrate prominent skills.

Instruments: Voice

For beginning students, I introduce musical theatre and classical repertoire and the fundamentals of music theory. As the student progresses, I include advanced exercises used to strengthen the voice and have them learn various styles of singing based on their interests and career path. Students are expected to vocalize every day on their own and complete any homework or songs before assigned dates. For students interested, I will also enter them into competitions and auditions where they can expand their performance experience. Read More
