I grew up in a small town in Idaho and always had a dream of being able to sing. Because of excellent teachers who loved and cared about me I have been able to accomplish that dream, and now I am excited to help you reach your dream! After receiving a masters degree from The Eastman School of Music in Vocal Performance and Literature, I moved back to Idaho to teach at a local University and I was hooked on teaching! I loved seeing students progress and accomplish their goals. I worked mostly with female classical singers, but also taught some musical theater students ranging in age from 10 to 40 years old. All of my students were able to improve, especially those who practiced. All were able to extend their range and agility and smooth out the rough spots in their voices! I am so excited to start teaching in a new area of the country and look forward to the new voices I get to work with.

I graduated Manga Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music and I have been teaching for over 8 years. What drives me is the power of music to lift peoples spirits, allowing them to grow, and have fun.

In my own life, it wasn’t long before I felt the tug of music. I first became involved with piano when I would tag along with my mother to her piano lessons. The teacher gave me a beginners book and a few pointers and that started me on my path.

The real epiphany came at 12 when I met local singer and instructor Sandi Bedrosian-Hyde, who became not only my voice teacher but my friend and mentor. I was fortunate enough to become her personal assistant and was able to teach under her guidance for several years. Sandi was able to show me that with the right teacher a student can go on to accomplish anything.

Hey There,

My name is Kristen F., and I've been playing acoustic and electric guitar for 11 years, singing as long as I can remember and performing over 100 shows a year for the past 5 years. My passion is music and for me that doesn't lock me into playing and loving only one genre- I can dig everything from Country to Metal to Funk to Pop to Jazz.

Almost immediately after picking up a guitar I began writing my own songs, and in additional to technical specifics and music theory, I enjoy teaching elements of songwriting, improvisation and re-imagining cover songs along the way.
I've studied Guitar privately under some great teachers, Mitch Chakour from the Funk and Pop background of the 70s, the Rocker June Millington voted one of Guitar Mag's top 100 guitarists of all time, and Stan Pyrzanoyski from a Theory and Jazz background. I also attended Columbia College in Chicago to study Music Business and Music Performance.
Since College I've been busy writing, recording,...

Hello all! My name is Mary and I am a 24-year-old graduate of the School of Music at Boston University with a concentration in Vocal Performance as well as 15 years of independent piano study under my belt. My training spans many genres, including opera, popular styles, jazz, and Broadway. I have a fairly extensive performance career, having had the privilege to share music with audiences everywhere from New York to California and have had 6+ years of experience teaching music to students from ages 5 to adult. My experiences with students of various ages and skill levels have equipped me with the skills to tailor the appropriate curriculum and teaching style for any kind of student.

Music is my passion. I love film and acting but music is where my heart truly lies. I am a new graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston, but my love of music started long before my college education.

I began piano lessons very young but gave that up to pursue guitar. I've also been writing from an early age, anything from lyrics to poems to short stories to screenplays. My poetry was published many times in a US wide book featuring the art of children between 6 and 12 years of age. My father, an artist (mainly painter), encouraged me to pursue my artistic passions and by the age of 12 I was writing some of my first songs on guitar. I took voice lessons over the years as well as guitar lessons and even played clarinet in my high school band. I spent a year in Puerto Rico in my junior year of high school where I attended an arts school and was a student at the Conservatorio de Musica de Puerto Rico. There I studied music theory, voice, and international songwriting. I...

I began taking both voice and piano lessons at the age of 11, after years of sitting outside my older sisters’ clarinet lessons and wishing to study music, myself. I fell in love with music at my very first lesson, and knew that it was what I would do with my life. While still in high school, I began teaching, spending my summers teaching music at a children's arts camp. I went on to attend New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where I received my Bachelor of Music in vocal performance. I have experience teaching piano to students ranging from 4-year-old beginners to experienced adults, and my voice students have ranged from novices to conservatory-bound high-school seniors. I currently live in Roslindale, MA, and am available to teach both in my home studio and in students' homes in the Roslindale/Jamaica Plain/West Roxbury area.

I started my musical training playing classical piano when I was six years old. From there I studied Classical/Romantic Piano until I was seventeen. Since I was brought up listening to my Dad's Beatles albums and I became more and more interested in rock music as I grew up. In high school, I began learning guitar so that I could become a more versatile musician and to be able to play anywhere. Before I graduated high school, I completed a course on Music Technology and AP Music Theory and I knew that I wanted to continue my music studies in College. I acquired my Bachelor of Science degree in Music Technology at Northeastern University, with a minor in Music Industry. During my time in College I had worked in a professional recording studio, studied piano/ guitar/voice, and composed numerous instrumental and acousmatic works.

Hello! My name is Maya and I love music! Music has been a very special part of my life since I was young. I would love the opportunity to share my passion and skills with you.

I have been teaching voice privately for six years. I have trained with many talented vocal coaches across the country and have had the pleasure of performing a range of genres, from opera to pop!

I have directed several musicals through organizations such as Sprindrift School of the Performing Arts and Champions USA. I have worked with people of all ages and assisted them in mastering songs, preparing for shows and auditions and have guided them through the process of repairing their voice.

Currently I am training to be a certified Speech Level Singing teacher. I'm very excited to have the opportunity to train with teachers who have trained some of the most legendary pop stars.

I have been interested in music for as long as I can remember. I began taking piano lessons when I was six and started auditioning for musicals at eight. I fell in love with performing, and my passion has grown into a career path. I began studying voice privately when I was in thirteen. Music and performing have brought so much joy to my life, and I love to help others develop and cultivate their own passion for music.

I recently received my Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Vocal Performance from DePauw University. During undergrad, I was able to study abroad for a semester in Vienna, Austria where I performed in an opera workshop. I have spent two summers on Cape Cod singing with the College Light Opera Company. I have experience singing both opera and musical theater roles as well as an extensive choral background. I have sung with NEC Opera, Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, North End Music and...

I eat/breathe/sleep music. From writing and conducting my first a cappella piece in high school to playing in bands that have toured around the world (The Fates, Ben Levin Group), I am a music machine! I value nothing more than finding that passion in others and working together to turn musical fantasies into realities.

From grade school to high school I took rigorous classical piano lessons. In 2006-07 attended two summer programs at Berklee College of Music where I studied jazz/rock performance, and continued to study jazz piano at Washington University.

At Boston University, I studied classical music composition/theory, and was accepted to for a dual degree in Music Composition & Psychology, but decided to pursue music as a minor in order to allow more time for gigging. Since relocating to Boston, I have performed 250+ shows in various ensembles around the greater Boston area.
