Having grown up in a musical household (my father owned a guitar shop on Long Island, my mother sang all over in soul/motown/classic rock outfits), it was impossible not to start speaking the same language. After spending 5 years on trombone and a few years of piano lessons, developing my love for music as well as the knowledge of how to communicate with others through it, I found my home as a bass player as early as 5th grade. From Symphony Hall to Pit Orchestras at Berkshire Theatre Festival (America's 2nd oldest regional theater), from musical retreats in Nashville with 5-time grammy winner Victor Wooten to touring Europe in a rock band, I exposed myself to every kind of music I could get my hands on (and still do!). I moved to New York to get a degree in theatre as a singer and actor (thanks to my mother for the ability to hold a tune), and had great experiences performing in such hit shows as Les Miserables, but my passion kept calling me back to the band side of things. Since...

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.

I recently graduated from the...

have been performing professionally as a singer for 20 years in jazz, pop, opera, and musical theater in the Washington-DC area. I grew up mainly performing musical theater, but also sang with the Washington Opera and with the Choral Arts Society of Washington at Carnegie Hall, and sang the National Anthem for the Orioles and Washington Nationals Baseball teams, amongst other experiences. I then studied opera singing at McGill University in Montreal and in Austria and Italy, but also explored many genres of music within the Montreal music scene. After my studies, I moved to NYC and landed a position as an audio engineer intern at ishlab Studio in DUMBO. I was curious about musical creation on the other side of the glass and wanted to learn how to produce the music I create. Simultaneously, I joined gypsy jazz bands around NYC and Washington, DC and started performing in the jazz scenes to sing in a new stylistic way vocally (as compared to my opera studies). I then earned a...

Hi/Hola! My name is Sarah, and I teach music lessons in English and Spanish in Park Slope, Brooklyn & now ONLINE! I’ve been singing and playing piano since I was a little kid, picked up saxophone and flute along the way, and now I’ve produced and released my first CD, Passing Through, which is available on iTunes! I studied jazz and classical voice, saxophone, piano and flute at the University of South Carolina and got my master’s degree in jazz voice at the University of North Texas. I love the stage - I've been honored to perform with greats such as Ben Folds, The Manhattan Transfer, Jon Hendricks, and at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremonies. But I’ve always loved teaching, and seeing students grow and reach their goals, be they a coffee house gig or a recording session, is my favorite thing!

I have been professionally singing and taking voice lessons since the age of 9! I went through various styles in my love and performance of music, starting with the Beatles, Aretha Franklin and all of Motown, Jazz (Ella Fitzgerald), R&B, and Classical/Opera (starting when I was in high school and attending Interlochen Arts Camp)...

Having received a Bachelor's of Music in Voice (Music Theatre Performance) from NYU, I stayed in NYC after graduation performing in musical theatre and theatre, mostly in the city.

In 2009, I decided to apply to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, with the intent to broaden my range of skill and opportunity as a performer, but also with the intention to teach, with the higher degree strengthening this possibility. I began to teach voice lessons to fellow students while at LAMDA. When I returned to NYC, I began to build my own voice studio in of post-graduate students and adults looking to further develop their vocal practice or begin a...

I am a classically trained singer and pianist. I have a Vocal Performance degree from Georgia State University, and I have performed professionally both as a singer and as a pianist. I have loved music as long as I can remember. I began studying piano at the age of six, and I have been singing as long as she can remember.

Although I have classical degree, I have experience performing in a variety of musical styles including musical theater, popular music, and jazz. Performance experience includes roles in operas, musical theater, theme parks such as Six Flags Over Georgia, performing as a church soloist, and singing back-up for singers such as Kenny Loggins and George Benson. Recent performances include performing as a soloist for the Lincoln Outreach Program and singing the role of "Parthenope" for the World Premiere of The Odyssey at the 92nd St. YMCA in New York City. I founded the Musical Theater Alliance of Georgia State University, and I have won various awards and...

Michael is a rising star in contemporary and jazz vocal music. His rich tones and subtle phrasing of jazz standards, pop ballads and multiple voice arrangements have already earned him top honors (including three Downbeat Awards) and a loyal following of listeners. As both a performer and a teacher, Michael enjoys collaborating with all levels of musicians (especially first-timers) and strives to help every student grow in musicianship and love of their craft!
At an early age, Michael felt a powerful attraction to jazz music and was soon studying at Seattle's Roosevelt High School, one of the top jazz schools in the country. His musicianship and fresh interpretations of standards like "I'm Beginning to See The Light" and "Body and Soul" won him the "Best Male Vocalist" award at the LIonel Hampton Jazz Festival two years in a row; in 2008, he was just one of four male vocalists in the country to be selected to perform in the exclusive Gibson/Baldwin Grammy Vocal Jazz Ensemble,...

I am a graduate student entering my second year of classical music studies at NYU. I am trained in opera, jazz, and musical theater styles. My mission is to present a healthy, natural, and powerful sound for all voice types and music styles.

I also have instructed beginner and intermediate levels of alto saxophone. I was a tutor for my university in Musicianship. I feel that anyone can become a skilled musician if they put forth the time and effort needed.

I have co-directed opera workshops, participated in various master classes, performed in musicals and opera, and performed with jazz ensembles (voice and alto/bari sax). I was also selected to perform the role of Mastrilla in La Périchole this year with the Franco American Vocal Academy (FAVA).

I can provide tools and techniques for any age, including young beginners. I strongly believe in letting the young voice develop before providing too much challenging work.

A musician is born with the right tools, knowing how...

Hi there! Whether you're seasoned musical theatre singer looking to build an audition book or a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics of vocal technique and singing in public, then I'd love to be your teacher and help you on your way!

I am an actor, singer, composer, and musician, and I live in New York City. I graduated from the New York University drama program, and studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute and Stonestreet Studios. I've had many incredible teachers over the years who taught me to show up, listen well, work hard, respect everyone, practice your craft, have fun, and love what you do! They inspired me to become a voice teacher myself (both large group and individual), counselor, music director, and instructor.

I have taught a wide variety of musical theatre, elementary acting, music theory, and a cappella classes over the years, specifically at Middlesex Summer Arts Program and at Concord Youth Theatre (in Concord, MA). In these settings,...

Greetings future stars-

My name is Joshua. I've been singing professionally since I was 11 years old. For the last seventeen years I've performed all over the world. Most recently I performed the role of Fiyero in WICKED on Broadway, but my experiences range far and wide. Aside from performing in Wicked and Grease on Broadway, I've sang in rock bands, arenas, concert halls- all different styles and genres.

Armed with a BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of Michigan, I've got real world experience and technical understanding to help those starting out, or those looking to fine tune their instruments. I've worked with beginners as well as professionals, and I look forward to helping you make the most of your voice.

Hi there and thanks for cruising over to my teacher profile. You're here because you're looking for a voice teacher, and I'm here because I'm ready to help you discover, develop, and empower your voice. I’m going to start with a little info about my journey up ‘til now with music, singing, and especially teaching. Then, read on if you’d like more info about my teaching style and philosophies. Ok here we go!

I grew up just south of Nashville, TN and have been singing for most of my life. I began as a boy soprano in the choirs at church, then youth choir, middle school choirs and shows. Then during high school, where I was really bit with the singing bug, I was in every musical I could audition for, and I sang in the select choir for all four years. Around age 16 I began taking voice lessons myself, which prepared me for college auditions. After high school I moved to Memphis, TN where I earned my bachelors degree in music and vocal performance from the University of...

Hi! My name is Elisabeth, aka Libby to my friends. I teach piano and voice lessons both in my apt in Park Slope and at your house. 

I'm primarily trained as an opera singer, but I also love working on musical theater (it was my gateway drug into opera!). My little sister is a wonderful singer- songwriter, and she got me interested in helping people sing well while playing their guitars.

I also love teaching piano lessons. I try to keep them fun and give you a good base technique at the same time. At your first lesson, we'll be talking about kitten villages and bouncing around the keyboard with balloons. It's a little zany, but it works, and we always have fun!
