Music From the Heart
About Me
I have been singing and playing piano professionally for six years. I have directed several musicals through Sprindrift School of the Performing Arts as well as through ChampionsUSA. I love performing and love sharing the tools I've learned with others.
Lesson Details
Here's an idea of what a singing lesson would be like:
First, I would show you how to breathe from your belly. Then we would work on singing high and low notes. (I will accompany you on the piano). Which notes are easy or difficult to sing? After I hear you sing I will create some exercises for you to practice that will allow you sing more comfortably and more confidently! Then, we will look at a song of your choosing ...

My daughter says she likes her instructor and is learning the proper techniques to carry out her notes properly. My daughter is feeling more confident about singing and performing for others. She was a shy and timid 14 year girl who has come out of her shell and taken on new things, the lessons has helped her tremendously.

Helped me reach my potential
Working with Maya has been a fantastic experience for me. I've been singing for years but have never taken lessons and she's really helped me expand my range and polish my rough edges. As a teacher, she does a great job of choosing exercises that work for me as a student and if one thing doesn't, she always has something different to try that will get the right result. She's done a great job building my confidence as well and I always look forward to lessons.

My son Cameron has had fun learning how to sing better. Maya has helped him with his breathing and also given him more confidence in his singing ability. Maya is patience and explains things really well. She is a great teacher.
