I have been singing and acting almost since I could walk. Born and
raised in San Angelo, Texas, I grew up singing in choirs and performing
and musicals. I continued this love for singing through college when I
earned a bachelor's degree in Musical Theater with a minor in Acting
from The University of Northern Colorado. I now live in Bayonne, New
Jersey with my wife of nearly seven years, where I continue to work as
a professional actor and singer. In my professional career as a
performer, I have performed in such projects as the Broadway production
of "Brooklyn the Musical", several Off-Broadway projects including
"Sessions" (original cast), and several productions of musicals around
the country. I have performed with such broadway names as Eden
Espinosa, Ann Crumb, Robert Cuccioli, John McDaniel and Hugh Panaro. I
also continue my work as the lead singer and keys for "Rock Road", one
of New Jersey's best rock and roll cover bands. I have a wide variety

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...

I am a versatile singer and a passionate teacher who has been performing since the age of six. This year, I performed at Radio City Music Hall and at Carnegie Hall, and in past years I toured the country in a national production of The Wizard of Oz.

As the leading role in the Wizard of Oz (Dorothy), I had so much fun that I wanted to share the joy of music with others. I believe that teaching is the best way to pass along that gift---- and since then, I have continued to teach as many students as the styles I perform.

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...

Greetings!

I received my Bachelor of Music degree from New York University, and I am working on my Master of Music degree at Manhattan School of Music.

I have performed at many well-known venues including The Blue Note, The Jazz Gallery, The Bitter End, Sullivan Hall, The Garage, Caffe Vivaldi, Miles Cafe, and The Local 269 in New York City; Twins Jazz Club in Washington DC; Trumpets Jazz Club in Montclair NJ; and Chris' Jazz Cafe in Philadelphia.

I am an enthusiastic accompanist, performer, and teacher, engaged in projects ranging from Early Baroque figured bass, to 20th-century classical chamber music, to Broadway and Folk. I currently teach Dalcroze Eurhythmics classes in Manhattan, an innovative approach to classroom music education that uses movement and the body to connect what the ears hears and the mind knows. As a pianist I have performed in Switzerland, England, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.

I was born into a musical family in New York City in 1987. I began to study piano at age 6. While in high school, I began devoting more time to the piano, under the guidance a teacher who really helped shape my playing and inspired my teaching methods. I decided during college to pursue a career as a musician. I attended Skidmore College, majoring in music, where I was awarded the Louis Edgar Johns Outstanding Pianist Award. I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Arts in music, studying piano with Pola Baytelman and Richard Hihn. During the spring of 2008, I had the fortunate experience of studying abroad in Paris. In addition to the intensive study of French language and culture, I studied piano and composition at the École Normale de Musique. I’m currently pursuing my Masters degree in Classical Piano Performance at the Manhattan School of Music, studying piano with Daniel Epstein.
I began teaching piano in 2005. I’ve maintained a part-time piano and guitar studio since...

Hi, my name is Patrick. I've studied piano since age 10 (classical, and more recently jazz) and even at that age I would write my own songs and compositions. I started studying music theory in high school 6 years ago. This has informed my study of composition, as well as every instrumental practice undertaken since that time. 5 years ago I took my banjo to Sarah Lawrence College and started learning to play. I quickly joined the school's Bluegrass Ensemble, which fast-tracked my practice and enhanced my understanding of the idiom. My compositions, arrangements, and performances have appeared in theatre productions (Hartford Stage, Manhattan Theatre Source), several student films and dance pieces, and at music venues in New York (Carnegie Hall, Goodbye Blue Monday). For the past year I've been working with children at the Sarah Lawrence Early Childhood Center, and most recently at MoonSoup, an early childhood center in midtown Manhattan.

In non-professional pursuits, I...

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

I've made my career as a performing musician and teacher for many years. I've enjoyed touring the Northeast U.S. and also the U.K. What fun it's been meeting different people and experiencing their love of music! My band specializes in rock, blues, and originals, too. There's even a little jazz influence, coming from my years of private study, most recently with Ms. Leni Stern, an extraordinary professor of music at NYU. I love to keep an open mind with my students regarding playing styles and approaches to learning, and I'll encourage you to do the same! Individuality is your number one asset, I want to help you become the best you can be.
