Voice Lessons in Highlands, NJ

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe my experience and track record make me help the voice students who will discover themselves with joy and growing confidence to express themselves freely through singing. Singing is joyful and rejuvenating in mind and body! In addition, I have taught piano for beginner and intermediate in the past and as a conductor/soloist of church choirs over 15 years in New York City. I am looking forward to having new students with passion, desire, and patience to accomplish their goals and dreams in a healthy way of joyful singing and love to share with the community people and worldly people as well, as the Musical Ambassadors for the Peace on Earth.

Then we will work on vocal exercises that I’ve already taught them, and maybe some new ones based on what I hear in their voice now. If they seem to have an emotional story to tell, I will pick a song on the spot to reflect how they feel that day. Or we will work on a song we have sung in the past that suits my efforts to move them forward in their training. Read More

While I implement many techniques and since I arrive from a holistic approach to the learning, I don't have a one size fits all mode. I enjoy learning how a student learns. Often times I will have a student do a bit of songwriting, maybe a couple lines - even though they didn't think that was an interest of theirs, but I've found that using many creative tools it allows for a student to hear THEIR own voice more clearly.

It's all about the student's interests. I first gauge what styles they are interested in performing, and then implement the proper methods of teaching those styles. Depending on their ability level, I will simultaneously implement necessary techniques while generating the repertoire so that when it comes time for a recital, they will be ready. Lessons will generally begin with warmups, followed by choosing pieces to perform or developing pieces that have already been chosen. Read More

I teach from a flexible curriculum depending on the student's goals and interests. If someone wants to learn technique, music theory, songwriting, how to play Taylor Swift songs, arranging, composing, confidence, et cetera we will work on what is driving them to take lessons and learn! If the student is younger I will provide them with an organized syllabus and “fun” damentals! If they are older, I will help them find a way to stick with the music and accomplish their goals.
