Voice Lessons in East Meadow, NY

Instruments: Piano Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Piccolo Music

For Beginner students I have them start with the recorder. The instrument allows for a smooth segue to the flute being that the student can see their fingers and the recorder does not require the same air speed and lung capacity that the flute does so the student can pace themselves. For intermediate or advanced students I will go through orchestral excerpts, etudes, or technical studies with them. I follow the same model with my adult students, if they are just starting out I will recommend beginning on recorder to solidify fingerings however the mental and physical capacity of an adult versus a young child are very different.

Simandl's "New Method for the Double Bass" and "30 Etudes for the String Bass" to be extremely useful. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The exercises are designed to work through the process of singing, allowing students the ability to employ their unique voices. I teach using plain language that is developmentally appropriate and grounded in anatomy and the physical practice of singing. This allows me to help guide students to independence and understanding about how to best mobilize their voices without the use of mysterious imagery that, at best, only works sporadically. Using my strong understanding of vocal anatomy and development, I tailor my explanations so they are developmentally appropriate for all ages. Read More

I use a variety of different books - note spellers, beginning books etc. - depending on the specific need of each student. For more advanced students I draw upon the great repertoire of music that is out there. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice

Learning outcomes in my teaching are both practical, in terms of healthy and expressive vocal production and encouraging students to “have a voice” in their own lives, in the studio and on the stage as well. Through physical practice and by the information of various other forms of voice and bodywork, I guide students toward increased physical self-awareness, freedom of breath, relief from tension, and ease of production of healthy singing from the heart.
