Voice Lessons Union County, NJ

Instruments: Piano, Voice

Since 2011, I have worked with my voice teacher as an apprentice to understand how the voice fundamentally functions. Each voice is different, so I treat it as such. No artist is the same. PLEASE DO NOT SEEK VOICE LESSONS EXPECTING ME TO CREATE A MIRACLE. I encourage you to write out your goal(s) before seeking lessons. The voice is a muscle and I treat it as such when teaching, especially in young children. Read More

Everything we do on stage begins with breath. Sing, Acting, Dancing- all of these require disciplined breath management. Once a strong foundation of good breathing is laid, I tend to use visual-spacial prompts to get the singer to feel the changes rather than use pedagogical terminology.

Instruments: Voice, Drums, Djembe

I have taught private lessons since graduating in 2015, as well as taught at a variety of music schools, including Englewood Cliffs' Arete Music Academy, Elizabeth's PY Rock Music School, and NY's Forbes Music Company. I am a firm believer in breaking down drum beats and fills and analyzing them step by step so as not to confuse or overwhelm the student. I liken it to putting together the pieces of a puzzle, and who doesn't love doing that? Read More
