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...

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...

Hi!

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in Music Education, I also hold a performance certificate from AMDA in New York City. I have several years teaching experience in beginning piano and voice. I taught elementary music as well as high school chorus in North Carolina.

As a professional performer, I also have the real-life experience of performing in New York City and across the country. Some of my performance credits include 'The Music Man' national tour, Christine in 'Phantom', Guenevere in 'Camelot', and Grace in 'Annie'.

I'd love to help you achieve your goals and make lessons FUN for you!

I encourage students to bring in music that they would love to learn to play/ sing! Or music they already know, but would like to improve on.

Whether you are seasoned performer or a an absolute beginner I want to help you reach your vocal potential.

I fell in love with teaching music while a student myself! I am an alumnus of the University of Michigan, where I received a Masters of Music in 2007, and a Bachelors of Music in 2006. While there, I began teaching at my private vocal studio and studying vocal pedagogy. Since graduation, I have continued teaching privately in New York. I love what I do. I find it so fulfilling to give my students the tools that they need to succeed and watch them achieve their goals.

I have performed in both the US and internationally on a professional level. As a performer I am comfortable in a range of repertoire: Musical Theater, Jazz, Opera, Pop, Folk and other genres. As a teacher, I find that my own experiences in performing contribute to and help guide my teaching style.

In addition to my more advanced and older students, I have a passion for teaching children. I...

Hi! I'm Heather, an operatic soprano and violinist. I'm in my final year of Juilliard's Master of Music program, and I completed my undergraduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
I started studying music at a very young age, so I know what it's like to be a young student: I really like to keep things fun, but I'm versatile and can be quite strict if (and only if) that's a student's preference. I like to cater my teaching-- in both method and presentation-- to the individual student.
I consider myself very lucky in that I am able to live a life in and about music, and I am very excited to share that joy!

Kristin has been teaching piano and voice for over ten years. Most recently she was on the faculty at the International Opera Center of America where she taught piano for singers. Kristin taught both group and private lessons at the MusicTime School in San Francisco, CA where she was best known for her innovative work combining fun activities with learning, creating an excitement for music in many young piano and voice students.

Kristin began her piano studies at the age of 3 and her vocal studies at 10. Kristin's most recent success as Florence Pike in the opera Albert Herring was produced by Maestro Lorin Maazel with the London Royal College of Music at Chateauville, VA. The company subsequently replicated some of the opera, in a concert version, with Marvin Hamlisch at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Last year, the mezzo-soprano was a Resident Artist with the International Opera Center of America where she dazzled the audience in the title role of Carmen and...

I have been singing and acting almost since I could walk. Born and

of New Jersey's best rock and roll cover bands. I have a wide variety

Music has been part of my life since the age of three. My first inspiration was my mother, who was a working singer in the 70's. My second inspiration and mentor was my High School Music Teacher, Mr. Wynn, and I am grateful for all he has taught me. I am passionate about teaching and would like to have the opportunity to be as inspirational to my students as Mr. Wynne was to me. As you can see from my resume below, I have been very active in performing and teaching. At the age of 37, I feel even stronger that the choice I made to make MUSIC my career was the absolute correct one. I believe in the Bible principle that it is better to give than to receive. Teaching is a major facet of music that allows me to do this.

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.
