About Mary P.

About Mary
Mary is a Tony nominated writer, actress, and teacher whose Broadway credits include Martha Jefferson in "1776" and Grace Farrell in "Annie". She was a starring soloist In Leonard Bernstein's "Mass" at the Kennedy Center and the Metropolitan Opera and toured as featured vocal with Michel LeGand in concerts including Carnegie Hall. Off Broadway credits include her own musical, "Cradle Song". She studied voice with the great Sue Seton and later with opera star and tenor coach at the Metropolitan Opera, Felix Knight. She teaches a combination of both their legendary techniques. As an actor, she studied acting with Sanford Meisner in NYC, the Rheinhardt Seminar in Vienna, Austria and has been teaching and directing beginning, intermediate and professionsl singers and actors for over fifteen years. Former students have appeared on "Thirt
y Rock", Gilmore Girls", "Law and Order" and others. Her goal in working with her students is not only to teach healthy vocal technique, but in keeping with her theatre background, her strong belief that "Every song is a scene or monoglogue" leads her to make sure the student know what they are singing or speaking about, and can do so with a clarity of emotion and dramatic intent.
She has a BA in theatre/voice from the University of Kansas where she serves on the Advisory Board For the Department of Theatre and Film and has an MFA from the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at NYU Tisch School of the Arts where she is a guest lecturer. She is a member of AEA, SAG/AFTRA, AGMA and The Dramatists Guild.
"Mary is able to reach not only those students who are already excited about theater but inspire those who have no previous knowledge of it. To watch these young men and women become more and more accomplished is a marvelous thing. She inspired them all."...Mark St. Germain, Obie winning playwright.
*** Lesson Details ***
In a one hour lesson, we will spend twenty five minutes on vocal exercises designed to teach support and placement. Having performed leads on and Off Broadway, I know that without good technique you can't do eight shows a week, do back to back sets in a nightclub or cabaret or tour as a pop or rock singer. The second half of the lesson is spent on songs. As an acting as well as vocal coach, I focus on dramatics as well as musical interpretation. A singer must be connected to the words as well as the music. I hope to teach you to love singing as much as I do.
*** Studio Equipment ***
casio keyboard, speakers, desk, extensive library of scripts and sheet music, internet
*** Specialties ***
pop and musical theatre singing
college and theatre auditions/monologues and song performance

About Alec
Hello! I have been teaching the fundamentals of classical singing for many years now and I have received both a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music in vocal and opera performance. I promote a fun and healthy learning environment and make sure that my students learn the technical fundamentals in breathing, relaxation, production, and projection while also enjoying the lessons! I teach all styles of singing and enjoy doing it very much. My classical and operatic training has given me a wealth of vocal knowledge and allows me to make sure all other styles of singing are done as easily and healthfully as possible allowing my students to express their talents as much as they can for the least amount of effort.

I have loved playing the violin since I started playing at age 5! I continue to learn and grow on the violin every day and love to share what I have learned. I studied at Juilliard and love to teach as well as play.
Whether starting a beginner, erasing technical "black holes"in a continuing players journey or rebuilding a returning adult player, it's always fun!

About Vitalis
My name is Vitalis Im and I'm a tenor and violinist residing in the greater Hudson Valley area.
I believe that music can help students from all walks of life in a number of extraordinary ways: music can help to instill a sense of discipline through practice, help to conquer social anxieties through the act of performing, promote awareness of the body and self through the process of learning to play an instrument, cultivate a sense of belonging and sociality through the practice of group and ensemble work, and help to better one's emotional and mental wellbeing.
As a singer, I frequently work with students interested in developing a technique suitable for pop music and musical theater (techniques like belting), as well as students looking to begin or further their training as classically trained singers.

As a violinist, I specialize in teaching beginners and intermediate level students of all ages. I also offer Suzuki-style group classes for children under the age of twelve.
I received bachelor's degrees in music and anthropology from Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, where I studied violin with Marka Gustavsson of the Colorado Quartet and voice with Ilka LoMonaco. I currently teach at the New Windsor Music Academy in New Windsor, NY and the Music Institute of Sullivan and Ulster Counties in Ellenville, NY.
I teach privately through studios in Ellenville, NY and Red Hook, NY.

About Jaclyn
I am a Professional Violinist and I graduated with a Bachelor of Music from New York University. I have spent the last four years performing in and around New York City. I have loved working in a wide variety of settings as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra member, studio performer and as a member of several rock and alternative bands. I also enjoy learning about music theory and history and feel they enrich the learning and performing experience.
My musical training began at the age of 5 and loved making music immediately. As a middle school and high school student I participated in school and community youth orchestras as well as several chamber ensembles. During my summers I participated in summer music festivals throughout the United States. As a student I also participated in all-county and all-state orchestras.

I love performing, I also enjoy teaching and working in a collaborative setting. I challenge my students not only to perform at their best and practice diligently but to also think critically about what they are performing. This is done through score studies and research into the history of the piece and the composer. I also like to spend time with students making creative informed decisions about style and performance.
For a great many years I have struggled with performance anxiety and work well with students to develop mental and physical techniques to overcoming performance anxiety challenges to perform at their best.
I look forward to getting to work with you and helping you grow as a musician.
