Singing

I have been professionally singing and taking voice lessons since the age of 9!  I went through various styles in my love and performance of music, starting with the Beatles, Aretha Franklin and all of Motown, Jazz (Ella Fitzgerald), R&B, and Classical/Opera (starting when I was in high school and attending Interlochen Arts Camp)...

Having received a Bachelor's of Music in Voice (Music Theatre Performance) from NYU, I stayed in NYC after graduation performing in musical theatre and theatre.

In 2009, I decided to apply to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, with the intent to broaden my range of skill and opportunity as a performer, but also with the intention to teach, with the higher degree strengthening this possibility. I began to teach voice lessons to fellow students while at LAMDA. When I returned to NYC, I began to build my own voice studio in of post-graduate students and adults looking to further develop their vocal practice or begin a vocal practice. I found that in my vocal lessons, I was using physical exercises as for the actor, to incorporate in my private teaching method. I believe in doing, not only watching and observing.  This, in conjunction with movement and full-body execution, opens the student vocally and emotionally. I chose to go to LAMDA because the classical training and approach to theatre training in England is extremely physical. They work from the outside in, and I find that the language of the body is universal to students of any intellectual capacity, and I strive to bring this into my approach in any type of teaching format!


*** Lesson Details ***
I teach voice lessons to adults and young students who are beginning their vocal training practice, as well as those who are accomplished singers and performers and want to take their singing and performance to the next level!  I use my skills as an accomplished vocalist and teacher to empower my students  to find their own voice and learn to express a story through song. I enable my students to hone their craft and find their own style of expression through the exploration of music in a multitude of genres and cultures.

*** Studio Equipment ***
I have a Stuyvesant style piano in my home studio.  I also have a vast collection of repertoire.

Voice Lessons:  We'll hone your technique and have you singing your best in any style in which you focus - musical theatre, pop, jazz, r&b, rock, folk, or your own original music!

Liza is amazing! I am an adult who had never taken a singing lesson before so I was nervous to get started, but Liza totally made me feel at ease throughout. She is very warm and encouraging, and will also give direction to improve with every lesson. I’ve seen a drastic improvement since I’ve been working with her, and my friends and family have commented on my improvement as well. Definitely go with her if you can - she is the best.

Liza is very good at explaining techniques to help improve tone and sound quality.

Liza tuned in perfectly to what my daughter needed to work on and her instruction made an immediate difference. The lessons where fun and engaging. We have had many different types of teachers and I can honestly say that Liza is an all around excellent teacher and we will continue with her for sure.

I really like the class but in person  it would be better

its been easy for covid but need in person its been good I can take it if I need to

Liza was a great teacher for singing lessons. She was great about getting to know me and what my goals and focus were prior to starting. She was patient and explained things well. I highly recommend her if you are wanting to take singing lessons.

Great interaction, patience and feedback. Liza is very good.at being positive while still trying t o push her student out of comfort zone and to self evaluate.

Liza is totally great, got right into the lesson and was very easy for my 5 year old to communicate with.

VERY VERY nice and always smiles.  she was soooo welcoming I loved it soo much.

I am having a great time and really see good progress
