Voice Lessons in Port Washington, NY

Instruments: Voice

I believe every person can sing, but I know not every teacher can get every student to do so. One of my strengths as a teacher is building the voice in students who have been told they have none - who have been told they have no shot at being a singer. Taking each student "where they're at" currently, building the voice from that point, is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things I know how to do as a teacher. Read More

I love to see students grasp concepts.  It is extremely rewarding to see students understand a concept and be able to explain how neat it is to a parent or friend.  When I get a new student, I get to know exactly what their goals are.  We set long term goals, and we make progress by setting manageable short term goals every week.  I inspire the student to reach their goals by providing tools to help, and custom lesson plans that are fun and engaging.

For beginning students just starting out method books like "Hal Leonard's Essential Elements" is very popular and useful or other similar method books that public schools use. In addition to working from the popular school method books and any band music I will assign different things for my students to work on to keep our lessons fun and engaging. Each student will receive instruction from me that will inspire them to practice and want to learn more and get better. Read More

I love to have fun in my lessons. No single student understands the same thing the same way so I take the time to listen/understand them as a person and as a musician. While it would be wonderful if all of my students became virtuosi musicians, I understand that sometimes math class may be at the forefront of their attention. That said, practice is still required. Like a doctor, I prescribe solutions to students to help them achieve their goals and will do everything I can to help them to succeed but if they dont take the remedy, success is can be quite slow.

The way I teach is the way I was taught, using methods that were in place when I was a kid, some of these techniques date back to the 1800's. I believe in teaching scales, and also the Carl Czerny exercises and etudes, pieces that are designed to get beginners up to the advanced level. I incorporate elementary theory into the scales by including chord cadence patterns and inversions so as to make the technical transition from method books to playing actual classical pieces and songs as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

I began teaching voice just prior to commencing my Bachelor of Music. I contacted a local singing school and asked them if I could start teaching for them, this was in 2001. From the very first lesson, I felt an immense satisfaction from helping other people achieve their musical goals and I knew this was part of my journey as a musician- to pass on the knowledge I had acquired through my education and performance experience.
