Hi! My name is Serg. I'm a professional bandleader and music coach with a decade + of experience. I offer comprehensive training in voice, guitar, piano, bass, and ukulele for ages five and up. For teen and adult clients, the sessions include optional career guidance, songwriting, and sound mixing/technology consults for no extra charge. I am a friendly, caring teacher who finds joy in seeing my clients succeed. I will always go the extra step to make you feel comfortable, inspired to improve, and confident in your abilities.
I began my vocal studies in North Carolina State University with Elvira Green, who was one of the first black Sopranos at The Metropolitan Opera. I continued at Boyer College of Music under the tutelage of an internationally acclaimed jazz singer Joanna Pascale. After moving to Los Angeles, I began a mentorship with Tamara Beatty, who has been a vocal coach on The Voice for 10+ years. After college, I worked as a full-time talent manager in New York City and Los Angeles. My career spanned working with Wesley Stromberg (AGT winner), and Paxton Ingram (The Voice Top 10), MacKenzie Bourg (American Idol), and Andrew Foy (100+ MM on YouTube). I served as the lead project manager at Gramophone Media in Manhattan, where during my time Gramophone signed K-pop acts BTS, Tiffany Young, and Monsta X. I have taught musicians of all levels for nearly a decade, and have helped clients win auditions, gain millions of streams, and find joy in music.
My lessons will be made up of: 1) Custom exercises tailored to your needs and ability. 2) Understanding musical physiology. 3) Ear training. 4) Accessing a healthy technique that does not cause pain. 5) How to share emotion in your performance. 6) Finding your artistic personality. After the lessons you will get feedback from me and steps to practice on your own. I use a variety of teaching books and songs that students find most engaging. I tailor my approach to each individual student to unlock your musicality.
I am a firm believer that the right teacher will save you years of time and money. My style is geared towards helping you establish a practice routine and a relationship with music that fulfills you during your entire music journey. For young students, I focus on building a healthy relationship with practice and learning that crosses over into all areas of study. I believe learning is great privilege and should be exciting! I will provide tools and knowledge that will be useful to you long after our lessons are finished.

Serg is amazing! I’ve put off getting vocal lessons for years - but I’m so happy I finally started. Serg is super easy to work with and adapts the lesson to what works best for me. The real time feedback is great and the lessons are genuinely fun. I would highly recommend anyone on the fence to try out a lesson with him - wether you’re a beginner or more advanced - I think you will gain a lot from the experience

I would 100% recommend Serg for any musician whether you're starting out for the first time or someone like me who is getting back into music after sometime away each lesson is tailor made to suit wherever you are in your musical journey. With every lesson he demonstrates new techniques and exercises that not only garner results but make the "homework" fun and exciting. Serg is always open for questions whether its during or in between lessons and truly makes the experience a collaborative one. However what I enjoy most is his passion for not only music but for the teaching process as well. You can tell that Serg is dedicated because of the time that he takes with students while allowing them to grow into the best musicians they can be. Serg has been incredibly supportive in my journey as an artist and working with him has been nothing less than life changing.
