I graduated from the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities in 2010, where I majored in Vocal Music Ed. and Theatre Arts. After that I substitute taught for a year and a half focusing on music. During this time I taught private voice lessons to middle school and high school students and co-directed a musical.

My favorite part of teaching is getting to know my students. I can customize each lesson to a students needs, making learning fun and interesting.

I am an experienced professional opera singer who enjoys all styles of singing. I also have a strong professional education background that allows me to carefully assess the needs of each student and then create clear, attainable goals for the student's success. Students walk out of each lesson excited about their progress!
I also have a strong piano background. I was an accompanist for my children's choirs for a number of years and am very comfortable teaching students who are interested in learning about the piano. I enjoy using a piano curriculum that is clearly organized and that uses interesting music.
I have a masters degree in vocal performance, I am a NYC certified elementary school music teacher; and I perform in regional opera.

Now introducing the Epic Music Mastery Game! A full fledged competition between yourself and other students where you can earn experience points, level up, win prizes, learn and advance your skills in the process!

Dear aspiring singers (pianists see below): I firmly believe that with the right training, anyone can sing! We all have the instrument built-in after all! Are you tone deaf? I can fix that. Crack on high notes? I can fix that. Nasal? Hoarse? Can't hold long notes? All of these are common vocal problems that can be easily be solved through guidance and practice. Trust me, no one ever regretted taking voice lessons!

For my piano friends: How often do you sit down at a piano and wish you could just place your hands on the piano and magically create beautiful music? Piano is a challenging skill, but certainly not impossible. Learning to play the piano, even if it's never mastered, is such an incredible joy. Learning piano helps you to improve so many...

Originating from Seattle, WA, I (married to a piano teacher) am a 20-something professional vocalist with a broad range of experience. Having professionally performed everything from opera to beat-boxing (it's true!), I can teach all styles. With a Bachelor of Music (Musical Theater) from Belmont University I am more than qualified to teach with a well supported foundation. As a professional singer in New York I know the importance of well supported talent, abounding confidence, and an excellent teacher.

As a true lover of music and arts, I encourage my students to overcome the vocal, physical, and mental boundaries that tend to crop up amongst performers. My confident and exciting approach to singing brings out the best in my students, which translates beautifully on stage.

Whether you are seasoned performer or a an absolute beginner I want to help you reach your vocal potential.

I fell in love with teaching music while a student myself! I am an alumnus of the University of Michigan, where I received a Masters of Music in 2007, and a Bachelors of Music in 2006. While there, I began teaching at my private vocal studio and studying vocal pedagogy. Since graduation, I have continued teaching privately in New York. I love what I do. I find it so fulfilling to give my students the tools that they need to succeed and watch them achieve their goals.

I have performed in both the US and internationally on a professional level. As a performer I am comfortable in a range of repertoire: Musical Theater, Jazz, Opera, Pop, Folk and other genres. As a teacher, I find that my own experiences in performing contribute to and help guide my teaching style.

In addition to my more advanced and older students, I have a passion for teaching children. I...

IF YOU CAN TALK YOU CAN SING and I guarantee it!!!!!...

Hi! I'm Heather, an operatic soprano and violinist. I'm in my final year of Juilliard's Master of Music program, and I completed my undergraduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
I started studying music at a very young age, so I know what it's like to be a young student: I really like to keep things fun, but I'm versatile and can be quite strict if (and only if) that's a student's preference. I like to cater my teaching-- in both method and presentation-- to the individual student.
I consider myself very lucky in that I am able to live a life in and about music, and I am very excited to share that joy!

Kristin has been teaching piano and voice for over ten years. Most recently she was on the faculty at the International Opera Center of America where she taught piano for singers. Kristin taught both group and private lessons at the MusicTime School in San Francisco, CA where she was best known for her innovative work combining fun activities with learning, creating an excitement for music in many young piano and voice students.

Kristin began her piano studies at the age of 3 and her vocal studies at 10. Kristin's most recent success as Florence Pike in the opera Albert Herring was produced by Maestro Lorin Maazel with the London Royal College of Music at Chateauville, VA. The company subsequently replicated some of the opera, in a concert version, with Marvin Hamlisch at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Last year, the mezzo-soprano was a Resident Artist with the International Opera Center of America where she dazzled the audience in the title role of Carmen and...

I have always loved music, and grew up with a very musical family.

Through choral experiences and involvement in Musicals (as well as band and orchestra) in High School, I realized that I wanted to follow in my family's footsteps, and became a professional musician and teacher myself!

After completing BM and MM studies (Ithaca College & Manhattan School of Music), I performed exclusively for some time. Performing across the US and abroad has given me great perspective, and a variety of musical experiences.

Some professional highlights include singing for the Philadelphia Phillies, participation in a major network TV singing competition, membership in AGMA & Equity through many performances, and sharing the stage with some of the most well respected names in the music business. I have extensive solo recital experience (voice & piano), as well as a broad knowledge of choral singing.

All of these experiences, in addition to my world-class educational background,...

After graduating from Ithaca College with degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Education I spent three years teaching music in public schools. During that time I taught Kindergarten - 4th grade, as a long term substitute, and then 6th - 8th Grade Chorus to 430 students. During my time teaching my program grew at a rate of 30% annually compared to the band and orchestra who struggled to gain 5%. I attribute this success to my style of teaching which is accessible to everyone.

No matter the age, I will find out about what you are interested in besides music and use that as a hook to help you understand what's going on in our lessons. Although I am tough, because I want you to get the most out of your time, I am positive and love to laugh.

Besides teaching in the public schools, I have also taught members of my own private studio from ages
10 - 60, and worked as an Associate Director of Music for a church in North Carolina.

Currently, I attend the Manhattan...

I am a classical singer and pianist from Wisconsin! I started playing music at the age of three on the piano and starting taking voice lessons when I was 15. When I was in graduate school in Las Vegas I started teaching both voice and piano lessons and found how much I loved imparting my knowledge to others and watching them make progress.

I have performed leading roles in Operas and soloed in orchestral concerts. I mainly perform opera and classical but love musical theatre as well. My performing experience has taught me a lot which I am eager to pass on to my students! I moved to New York City three months ago but I had a studio of around 35 students in Las Vegas both voice and piano.
