Voice Lessons in Mill Basin, NY

Instruments: Voice

Principally a stage performer, I've been teaching for about 5 years, beginning with a Master Class on Song Performance at the Shakespeare Theater Company. I've given individual lessons for about 2 years (professionally), specializing in musical theater and acting, helping young performers learn what I wish I had at their stage of career. These days, that often means translating years of theatrical training into on-camera audition technique (a specialty of mine). Should I be lucky enough to teach you, you'll hear the words "breath," "management," "stillness," "grounded," sometimes hyphenated with one another. Read More

YOUR IMPROVEMENTS AND PASSION FOR MUSIC WOULD BE MY REWARDS! Setting realistic goals in the first place and helping the students achieve their goals would fuel the desire to progress, and bring more energy to challenge oneself. I would find out the inspirations together with the students and help the students to bring out the undiscovered parts of themselves as a musician! I am so excited in building up a life style of learning music to enhance students' musicianships and more interests in music arts and beauty! Read More

I am a laid back teacher, but I make sure all students behave and learn. I love when the students enjoy what they are doing, and when I enjoy what I am doing. It's a relationship that you build. I expect the students to practice their craft. I continue to learn as I teach as well. Inspiration is very important. The inspired students are special for they know what they want to accomplish.

Assessment is the task during the first lesson. I must determine the student's voice type, and what style of music the student would like to pursue. If a boy's voice hasn't yet changed, I'll assess whether he is an alto or soprano. I'm a keen believer in teaching one to sightread and encouraging one to improvise with his/her instrument! For sightreading I shall introduce The Trinity College, Sound at Sight. Read More
