Voice Lessons in Deer Park, NY

I am classically trained, so my teaching methods are in line with the classical method. For all beginner students, we work on breath control and tone to start before concentrating on song repertoire. Once the student is comfortable and producing good sound, we then start to look at material suited the student's voice.

I am positive but realistic, flexible but grounded in technique, and create an open, honest, and focused lesson environment.

My youngest students need very different approaches than the oldest, but I find that connecting, as humans, with all ages is imperative, no matter the person. Read More

Since I have trained a range of experience levels with a range of different goals, I always tailor my teaching to each individual student. However, I train all of my students using the best exercises I have learned from healthy classical, legit musical, pop, and rock vocal techniques. Even the most advanced students can improve when reviewing the fundamentals of singing from a new perspective. Custom lessons plans depending on the strengths and weaknesses of individual students, different bodies and voices present different paths to healthy singing.. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 9 years ago and have been consistently teaching student in my studio for the last 2 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key point I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for singing. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy singing and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

My students ranged in age from 5 to 23, for both piano and guitar. A few years later, I began teaching general music to children aged 3 to 8 at Jersey City Montessori School.

I continue to teach in Jersey City and Manhattan, and look forward to adding new students to my roster. Read More
