My Specialties
As a vocal coach I specialize in contemporary styles including but not limited to jazz, R&B, pop, rock and country. I also work with Broadway singers. I utilize a wide variety of methods including the Vaccai, Master Vocal Exercises, Bel Canto, Nadia Boulanger Interval Training, Melodia, Wedge and Alexander Technique for physicality. For coaching songwriters I defer to methods taught at Berklee College of Music's professional songwriting department. These include a variety of creative writing exercises including but not limited to, stream of consciousness, dream log, word association, rhyme scheme, levels of dialogue and lyric interpretation.

Mr.
Michael has been a very attentive instructor. He will help the student attack whatever performance issue is requested, while at the same time providing his expertise in the technical groundings of breath control, color, and tone.
