Voice Lessons in Pleasantville, NY

Instruments: Voice

Hello, My name is Amanda! I am overjoyed with this opportunity to teach vocal lessons. My mission is to help young and old alike to find their voice. I started singing a little over 7 years ago as a pastime hobby. Then I started my own podcast. After seeing how it did so well I kept singing.

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

What thrills me about education is the unexpected discovery: the discovery of connection between individual disciplines or the realization of ones own creativity or a deeper comprehension of lifes vitality, all of which lead to a revivified awareness of humanity.

For beginning piano students, I enjoy the Faber Piano Adventures. As the student progresses, I guage what their interests/goals are, and choose repertoire according to their interests. For beginning oboe and woodwind students, I focus on a myriad of things that have nothing (and everything) to do with actual music: how to form a correct embouchure, correct hand and finger position, double and single reed care, instrument construction and maintenance, and finally, sound production.

I like to motivate the students to learn. I will teach fundamentals and theory through teaching guitar, voice or piano. However, the most important matter for me is the passion that I have for performance and I pass it to my students as I teach music. I like to make the lesson fun, including the student's interests for every age and level. Read More
