Singing

Music degree from Lawrence University and Conservatory in Appleton, WI. Graduate work in conducting, piano, and vocal pedagogy at Westminster Choir College in Princeton. I teach at two locations but mainly in my home studio, since 199, and
 in a family friendly location.  There is a plethora of piano and vocal educational materials that I utilize. No two lessons are alike, I am into variety big time. Anyone can learn an instrument(that includes singing. Anyone. I repeat, Anyone.The greatest virtues of a music teacher are passion, patience, understanding, and communicating. You will experience this in the studio. Give yourself a treat of two months of lessons and I promise you will be playing and/or singing better than you expected.



*** Lesson Details ***
Laid back and stress free environment, always.
We will work together with  specific goals such as a piece you would really like to learn. Many singers are in Broadway, Disney, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and so much more. With singing you will have basic knowledge of proper posture, breathing, and increasing range.  And with piano and voice  I can guarantee after three months you will be playing/singing music you like, and you will be reading music, and able to perform if you wish.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Studio: Kawaii Upright Piano. Yamaha Keyboard, and couches and a chair if parent wishes to sit in on lesson. Also have computer programs and great apps for learning.

*** Specialties ***
I've also had graduate study in teaching the Adult Beginner.  I was also a Church Music Director 1993 till 2016 so am very familiar with traditional and contemporary sacred music, . Now this is my full-time career If you also wish to combine singing and accompanying yourself by learning piano or guitar lessons, we can tailor specific lessons for that purpose

This class usually starts with  warm-ups but even better is you spend 5 minutes warming up prior to class.
Class will be conducted as  a Master Class; a student will perform a learned song for the other participants, have one ready to sing that you have practiced prior to this class I  will work through it  as a vocal coach  to improve the performance.  This is also geared to the intermediate students, those with some vocal training and some experience performing in front of others.  The number of performers is limited to the time scheduled.   We will start in order of signing in and go in order via chat sign in.     I so, so know that learning musically involves observation of others performing,  and it is an extra when you are observing a coaching of another student’s performance.  So looking forward to helping you on your musical journey.  enjoy that journey, and go with the feel over the sound. :)

Voice Performance 

Mary is very creative with exercises to strengthen my voice. She is patient and complementary, and very clear in her teachings, and it makes me want to practice even more. Her hearing of where my voice is is on the spot, and she catches me each time when it goes into my head. Great teacher. Thanks Mary.

I take both piano and voice with Mary. She is a great teacher and makes learning fun, we have some great laughing/smiling moments while learning.  She is perceptive and encouraging. Mary definitely has corrected some vocal glitches I had when I first started with her that previous teachers were not able to help with.

I enjoyed learning guitar for the first time with Mary.  She is funny and very encouraging.  I highly recommend her as a teacher specially for those who think they cannot do it.  She is a great teacher overall.

Love love love Mary! Had my first lesson and her energy is awesome! We could talk for hours. She makes you feel no judgement. Can't wait for more lessons!

Mary is great.  I look forward to future lessons with her.

Mary was very nice, informative and very accommodating!  
We had to use Face Time for our first lesson!

She is energetic, warm, kind, and great with my kids (2 have lessons).  They are eager to practice (to my surprise) and happy to go to their lessons.  She makes learning the piano fun.

Mary is a very kind, cheerful, and enthusiastic teacher.The girls enjoyed it and are excited for their next class.

Always delightful and fun, good learning experience

Even with blizzard weather interrupting the signal, my dropping my iPad, and my not being prepared, Mary had the patience of Job! She was able to give me really useful advice, and hints on how best to prepare for my next session. I am very grateful I chose her for my teacher!

Mary was great! She made me feel very comfortable and is very knowledgeable about all types of music and techniques, but she also made it fun. Great personality!

Mary is awesome & very knowledgeable.  I enjoyed our time immensely.  She makes you feel at ease and has a wonderful sweet personality. I knew I had made the right choice the minute I heard her voice.  I am looking forward to future lessons. Thank you Ms. Mary!

Mary has been teaching me voice for a number of years.  She is highly professional and talented.  I have been able to sing things I never thought possible before.
