Voice Lessons in Venetian Islands, FL

Instruments: Voice

Classes are broken down into three sections 1. breathing and body exercises 2. vocal exercises 3. repertoire and style. In the breathing and body exercises we discuss the idea of breathing for singing and proper vocal support. This is fundamental to good vocal technique and is the basis for everything that we will be working on achieving with our voice. In the vocal exercises section we will engage in various vocal sounds using scales and arpeggios. Read More

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've had to privilege to study with some of the best coaches and teachers in the country, and I want to share with you what I've learned. My operatic and musical theater knowledge, both in theory and practice, is vast, and I want you to use me as a resource for whatever your personal goals may be. I've taught voice lessons privately and at Northwestern University, and I'm excited to provide the same services to the Miami Beach community. Read More

I have been in love with music for as long as I can remember! Growing up under the impression of my father, who was always involved in playing instruments and singing from a young age, you could say that it is in my DNA. From 2003-2011, nearly my entire primary school education, I was trained in music theory, music performance in orchestra and voice, and singing for the stage. Over the years I have accumulated various awards and recognition including Superior ratings in sight reading on double bass, outstanding vocal performance from the Miami Conservatory of Music, and performing alongside the county's best in the Miami Dade Honor's Orchestra.

My student, no matter what age, starts with light vocalizing, lip trills, humming etc. for young students I usually pick a light song and work on basics using the song as an exercise. My older students have to work a little more, exercising scales, monitoring placement, support, palette work. A song is picked by me and the student together. Read More

What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More
