Voice Lessons in Palm Beach, FL

Instruments: Piano Voice

My method makes understanding the breathing, support and execution of the voice the first priority.After this is achieved, exercises are assigned to further develop range, control, strength and vocal agility. The bottom line is that although it takes years to develop a strong, skillful and sensitive singer, it should not take years for a singer with good tutelage and a willingness to work hard, to sing competently. So without the ability of the student to make a good tone and control the voice, all the exercise cds and books are useless. Read More

I began teaching after graduating high school in 1999. I have had many levels and ages of students. I find that each student is on their own path of learning and private study is the best method of determining how to keep the students passion and motivation engaged at a successful level. I enjoy working with young children learning to read music to adults who want to hone thier craft of 'jamming in a band'. Read More

I encourage all my students to learn the basic rudiments of music including music theory, sight-reading and playing ‘by ear’. I recommend Mel Bay’s “Children’s Guitar Method” and Hal Leonard’s “Guitar Method Book 1” for school age children. However, many of my students have decided to concentrate on learning basic theory involving chords and scales to develop ability to play ‘by ear’. When working with voice students I focus on basic theory, breath control, and vocal scales to develop student’s ability to discern musical intervals. Read More

So I could safely say that my strong is singing songs and accompanying myself and others at the piano or the guitar. Nonetheless all along I was studying classical music with the greatest rigor possible. Singing and playing music from the printed score, harmony, counterpoint , orchestration, arrangement and composition has come to me not only from books but also from extensive practice in real life. If you could describe me in a few words as a musician you would say VARIETY and PROFICIENCY. Read More
