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,...

I have been a voice teacher for over twenty- five years. My background includes ten years of classical training with Maestro Julio Berrocal as well as vocal technique through the Feldekrais approach with Marcy Lindhiemer. In acting I have studied with renowned Stanislavsky scholar Sonia Moore and with Master Theater of the Strasberg Method, Marcia Haufrecht. I believe we all have something distinctive that can be developed and expressed through the voice. I work to help the student discover their individual and unique sound. I give them the tools to gain ability and confidence in achieving their goals. I empathize deeply with the challenges the student faces both in studying voice and performing since I have been a professional singer for many years. Through my personal experience in the field I will coach the student through the obstacles they may come up against. My students have gone on to become recording artists,performing on Broadway, in National Tours, in cabarets and...

My life revolves around music in all of its forms. I have studied Piano since the age of 6 while singing ever since I knew how to make sound. Throughout my lifetime, I have been taught by some of the most influential teachers, and it is my goal to become one in your lifetime.

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.

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?

Roland R was born and raised in New York City. He started playing drums at the ripe age of 12. Throughout his schooling, Roland was a member of Concert Bands, Jazz Bands, and Drum Corps. He eventually started to explore playing music outside of school with friends and independent musicians around New York City. Roland's teaching "career" started about 7 years ago, when his baby cousins took an interest in banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons. His interest in helping others develop their ability to express themselves eventually evolved into in-studio lessons with children and adults of all skill levels. Roland has volunteered for non-profit organizations and college now programs in the past. Through his experiences, he's grown accustomed to speaking in front of large groups of students.
