Astrid H

Instruments: Piano Voice

The vocal technique I teach is applicable to all singing styles. There is a healthy way to use the voice without straining it, by learning how to control your breath, supporting your tone with your whole body and getting your voice in the right position. I meet my students wherever they are at. I adapt my lessons to the needs of the individual student. Everybody works differently, has different challenges and a different body. Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums

I have taught on and off for the last 7 years. Recently I have decided to change careers and focus music and teaching full time. During my time as an undergrad student I taught percussion and basic piano lessons in the local area. Since leaving school in 2014 I have continued my music education and focused on teaching young children both group and individual. I enjoy teaching in order to help improve student's lives , to create positive study habits and set goals which will help them later in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.

After receiving my Bachelors in Music Pedagogy, I studied Masters in Child Education. So I have combined my teaching experiences with what I have learned in Masters program to come up with new method of teaching the students. My lessons  are innovative and creative. I use piano adventure series and Alfred series and many more songs from MTAC syllabus. Also, I find some film music and hymn song to motivate students to play different styles of music. Read More

I want my students to not only have a working knowledge of music, but also a passion and love for it. One of the beauties of music is that it stays with you for a lifetime.

Danielle C

Instruments: Piano Voice

Lessons are custom depending on student goals and desired musical styles. Lessons begin at the piano with vocal warm-ups and vocalises for proper singing technique, followed by vocal exercises focusing on areas in need of strengthening. Time is also spent on breath work, posture, acting, language pronunciation and choreography, depending on the song/project. This is followed by working on pieces of music selected by both the student and I, tailored to the students needs and goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

I encourage students to choose one or two songs that theyalready know or would like to learn. Students are also taught simple vocal exercises from basic fundamental books, as well as stretching and breathing exercises.I use a variety of music books,depending on the level of the student. A new song will be introduced at the next lesson, and a review of the present lesson will continue. Read More

My approach to teaching is very student-centric. I firmly believe that every student has unique talents and insights. I strive to find the right balance for every student, between their personal goals and what areas of opportunity for growth I see for them. It is my mission to help every student get the most out of every lesson, and leave knowing that they have discovered something new about themselves and their ability to connect with music. Read More

Teacher In Spotlight

Sinclair A

Instruments: Voice

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of my performances with the New York and Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestras. My favorite performance of all was performing Leonard Bernstein's Mass in its entirety. We performed not only with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra, but also the Temple University Choir, the American Boy's Choir, a marching band, professional singers, and world-renowned conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. I am also proud of my college voice recitals in 2015 and 2016. Hearing the progression in my voice and learning the arias/song cycles was an experience I will always remember. These were huge accomplishments for me, as I had never performed a recital prior to these. It was amazing performing in front of friends, family, and teachers.

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
The way I teach comes from the methods first created by Cornelius Lawrence Reid. Reid was a specialist in the style of bel canto, a way of singing to create an open and rich sound. This technique was used in the operatic world for over 800 years, and came back in the beginning of the 1900s from Reid. He wrote two books that further explained the bel canto technique: "A Dictionary of Vocal Terminology" and "Bel Canto Principles and Practices." Reid's technique was further researched and developed by Manuel Garcia II. Garcia was the first person to invent the laryngoscope, which first x-rayed the vocal chords. I learned these techniques from my high school voice teacher, Mr. Lawrence Lohman. I use this technique for my students and immediately hear a change in the sound. The student will also notice an immediate change, due to how open they will feel in the voice and the body compared to prior.

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
One of the hardest things when it comes to singing is to not overthink. Students, usually who are younger, do not understand that how they hear their voice is different than how others around them hear their voice. Even on a recording, it is still not that students true voice. It is easy to overthink and feel that they did something wrong, they cracked on a high note, they did not have enough breath support, etc. Once the student can focus primarily on opening the sound, making sure it feels comfortable, and in singing the correct segment, the overthinking will stop. This will take time, but they will overcome it!

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I have always loved to sing. I remember wanting to perform ever since I was a child. I would write my own songs and sing them in front of friends and family. As I grew older, I found singing was a way to relax me and provide me with great joy. I found that singing, along with playing guitar and piano, was a fun way to continue with song writing. I felt it was more than just a hobby for me. Once I started voice lessons, hearing my progress further thrilled me for performing. To this day, singing and teaching others to sing is the highlight of my life.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
