Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
For beginning piano students, I love using Alfred lesson books. I like focusing on scales and using proper technique. For violin, I like using Suzuki, but I dont use Suzuki method. Focus is on scales and simple solo rep. I encourage composition at all ages and love finding a system that works for the individual student. Regular practice is encouraged. I am big on positive reinforcement and will be my students biggest cheerleader, even when I need to get firm about techniques. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums French Horn Oboe
I began teaching at the Xavier University Junior School of Music (Louisiana) at the age of 18. My teaching experience now spans 30 years. While most of my teaching, over the years, has been primarily private, I also have several years of classroom teaching experience. I enjoy teaching music because I believe that it is one of the most endearing methods of sharing information. One of my motto's is that I am an educator first, music is simply the vehicle by which I choose to educate. Read More

Enthusiasm! Encouragement! Fun! And lots of patience. I'm an energetic and passionate teacher and my goal in teaching is to pass that energy and passion on to my students! I understand that setting realistic goals and moving at a comfortable pace are crucial steps to take in order for this to happen. I also like to provide historical context and break down the "why" behind songs we work on in terms of music theory and songwriting choices, so that students can truly get a grasp on the entirety of the work rather than simply memorizing notes.

For my younger to play games with them that teaches them the fundamentals of music theory while also having fun during the lesson. For my older students I like to see what gets them excited during the lesson and move forward accordingly. That can be extremely different from Student to Student but I do like to stay involved with the process and positive throughout. It doesnt necessarily matter how experience they all as my usual students get up to speed within the space of a month, if not shorter. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Synthesizer Keyboard
I'm a motivated music teacher who loves teaching and working with students who have a desire to learn more about the piano and teach vocal technique. In 2005, I earned my music degree from Cal State Los Angeles University,California. I had a opportunity to study under the great Gerald Wiggins,the renowned jazz pianist, in the Santa Monica College Music Mentor Program. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Organ Keyboard
I have been teaching for the past 17 years. I enjoy the challenge of meeting each student's needs and creating an individual teaching plan to help students achieve their goals. I have had the opportunity to work with preschool through undergraduate students. My experience as a high school chorus teacher, Teaching Artist with the Washington National Opera, guest vocalist for the Ghanian ambassador, and part-time professor have bolster my ambition to bring music to students "where they are".

Instruments: Voice
For beginning students, I introduce musical theatre and classical repertoire and the fundamentals of music theory. As the student progresses, I include advanced exercises used to strengthen the voice and have them learn various styles of singing based on their interests and career path. Students are expected to vocalize every day on their own and complete any homework or songs before assigned dates. For students interested, I will also enter them into competitions and auditions where they can expand their performance experience. Read More
Instruments: Voice
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Probably the 1st song on my website "Sophisticated Lady" by Duke Ellington, sung at the large theatre of Berklee would be one.
Having written 3 books on singing and having them published by Mel Bay, Inc. would be another.
Doing solos with the Boston Symphony and recording with them as well as singing solos at Carnegie Hall and Columbia University in New York City would be others.
Probably my biggest accomplishment would be teaching Voice at Berklee College of Music, where I learned more than at any previous school!
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yup, several of my students have gone on to become Voice Professors themselves. (I believe they are listed on my website)
Charlie Sorrento became a full Professor at Berklee College
Marlon Saunders has recorded several albums and appeared as well as sang on a Disney film.
One student whom I taught had a huge rock hit with the band Till Tuesday: "Voices Carry."
Others have gone on to successful careers in Christian music, both performance, song writing and arranging.
Hopefully there are others about whom I don't even know!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I'd say the most difficult thing to master would be allotting time to vocalize daily, yet do the reading, physical training and other disciplines that contribute to the totality of an excellent singer.
It's the reading and thinking that are the real crux here.
Once your thinking is right, the rest just seems to fall in place. So I guess I'd say that maintaining a life balance that is healthy, positive and forward thinking are the answer to the "hardest thing" question.
Joyce Lucia, Professor of Voice
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I begin by some physical activity; perhaps a few abdominal crunches on a Stability Ball and/or cardio.
Next, I hum, then sing on a single vowel to attain the focus and range I want.
Singing songs on a vowel comes next.
I consider all the aforementioned things as warmup (maybe 10 minutes.)
I spend the rest of the lesson working on my solos for that week, preparing sheet music; listening to versions of the song I like best, then lastly singing with a background track. Much of the final singing is done through a microphone on the P.A. I keep in my music room. Some times I actually record the singing so I may send copies of songs to various folks.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use the ones I wrote while teaching at Berklee. Basically, the books follow the beliefs I have about learning to sing. There are sections on range, vowels and consonants, what to practice, how to document it. There's even a section on diaphragmatic breathing, which, although needn't be known, being able to do it will differentiate your singing from that of someone who DOESN'T know how to do it.
I try to use contemporary comparisons, rather than look back to the way folks sang in the 1600's. Makes sense, no?
