By Marjorie K. - New York City Singing Teacher
As a singing teacher based in New York City, I have always felt that there is no such thing as a bad student, only bad teachers, and vice versa. If you have a good teacher then you will in turn become a good student.
When a new student comes to me, I begin the lesson by telling the student right away that my motto is “If you can talk you can sing, and I guarantee it” - therefore the responsibility to get this student to sing well is mine, not theirs since they are paying me to help them find their best voice.
Once this is understood, the new student then completely relaxes and begins the process of trusting me and feeling safe to open up for the experience of learning to sing. I also make sure the student thinks of the lesson as a mini vacation from everything that has happened before the lesson and anything that will happen after the lesson. This allows for complete concentration during the student’s lesson.
In addition to teaching private singing lessons in New York City, I give performance classes once a month to supplement the voice lessons. These classes address the elements of stage fright and performance anxiety which can’t be addressed in a voice lesson. Only in a class with other singing students will the student be able to learn skills to combat the nervousness that comes from the fear of singing in front of others.
I also present my students in recitals twice a year to give them a performing goal to work towards. There is no better way to jump start the improvement of the voice than to have a performance you are preparing for. I teach all styles of singing and work from a classically trained throat, which is the basis of all correct singing. The only thing that changes is the style of music that one is singing.
In closing, the most important thing is that my students have fun in their lessons. After all, singing is a joyous experience and that is the reason we do it. One always has to remember that we sing because of the pleasure it brings to ourselves and others. Take singing lessons in New York City with me and experience this joy for yourself!
