Music Lessons in Leisure City, FL

Instruments: Voice

For beginning singers, I truly work on getting the support system working as early as possible. Because of the delicacy of the youngest voices, I believe this is the most fundamental aspect of singing. Range can be developed as the vocal mechanism develops, but this will all be made easier with a solid support structure. For intermediate singers, I work on freeing the voice and allowing the natural vibrato (or 'spin') to come through. Read More

My teaching experience started by chance, a friend of mine asked me for lessons which I gave for free. I would never think teaching was such a fun and rewarding experience. Ten years later I still teach and I am very passionate about it. I have teach ages from 12 to 30 and I realized that the teaching approach has to be customized a little depending on each student. My students are going to learn the techniques that will take them to the next level. Read More

As a base, music is a body-mind experience. A lot of what makes music enjoyable to us has to do with our bodies and the natural way in which we react to rhythms and pitches.

We will work with different exercises which allow us to see, not in a technical way but in a 'real knowing', the how's and whys of how certain music sounds like itself. Read More

I have been teaching voice for more than 25 years, even during college time, classmates of mine aproached me to help them in their vocal training. the focus in my lessons is the vocal technique.

I used to play in local bands but no longer have the time. Teaching students gives me the opportunity to be more engaged with music and to play more often. If you are willing to practice and follow the finger exercises as shown regularly, you will be playing solo in a matter of weeks. If you cannot devote a minimum of 3 hours/week to practice, it will take more time. Read More
