Voice Lessons in Riverdale, NY

Instruments: Voice

My teaching started in my undergrad, about 5 years ago when I was required to take a Vocal Pedagogy class as part of my major. From there I fell in love with teaching. I was able to expand on my love as a substitute teacher at Rabun Gap Academy in Rabun Gap Georgia in 2012. There I taught five girls ranging from 8-15. I continued that until 2014, I then took on two colleagues, a girl who was 24 at the time and a guy who was 19 and taught them for a year. Read More

I make the lessons fun and productive at the same time - very important! Read More

Instruments: Voice

I start off lessons with a brief chat to know your goals. I want to hear your weaknesses and strengths as a performer as well as your experience level from advanced to none. Tell me about yourself! Then I go into vocal warmups and breathing exercises to find the connection between your diaphragm and your voice. I want to know what artists and styles you are drawn too and some of the songs you have sung and or want to learn. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I have been teaching voice and piano for the last four years. I worked with a voice teacher back home where he taught me classical and pop/rock singing. I am very involved to every single student and I arrange the lesson accordingly. Some people come to me to work on technique and improve certain areas of singing and others are coming to work on performance aspects. I like to make the lessons interesting with fresh ideas and up-to-date exercises. Read More

Instruments: Voice

I focus on the voice first - not just repertoire, not just impending auditions or competitions. Building the voice - not just the performance to come - is an approach I have found to yield strong technique that can carry students far past any immediate need. Building range, teaching the function and physiology of the vocal anatomy (moreso as students age), and bringing students to understand their voice as an extension of their heart, mind, and body are all simple goals I have for each student.
