Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Clifton, NJ

Breath control, interpretation & audience connection is incorporated with this lessons

There are a number of reasons someone may wish to take music lessons. Whatever the specific reason, striving to achieve one’s “artistic truth” is the goal. My holistic view of education is to help a student find his/her own individual “voice” as a singer and a creative artist. I believe the role of an educator is not to relay information in a detached context, what I call teaching “at” a student, but to lead that student in a discussion of the music, pulling information from the student in a collaborative effort between two or more individuals. It is my goal to facilitate an emotionally safe environment for students to take risks, make mistakes, listen critically, and articulate his/her thoughts. We work towards freedom of expression and letting go of fear. Fear is the single greatest enemy of any artist: If you're afraid of how your music will go, you won't be making art.
A healthy mind, body, and spirit all work together to make a strong, whole individual. The development of ...

I have been a professional singer for most of my adult life. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge with students as they discover ways towards self-expression through the voice.

I am available to coach singers of all levels and ages. Hour sessions are available but count as two 30 minute sessions back to back.

Hi, there!

My name is Sarah-Kate, and I have been teaching vocal lessons for many years. My goal is to make learning fun and productive. I know that singing in front of someone can cause anxiety, so I aim to make my lessons as laid-back and stress-free as possible (while still learning!). I tell my students that their lessons are a "judgement-free zone."

I teach proper singing technique (including breathing, posture, tonality, etc.) and how to read music if the student doesn't already know. The styles I teach run the gamut from pop to musical theater to classical. Especially for younger/beginning students, I like to let them choose what they'd like to sing (while offering guidance if necessary).

I have taught people from age five up through adults. Whether you want to be the next American Idol or just sound better in the shower, I'm your teacher!

I have a degree in music (voice and cello) with additional certification in music therapy. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are very well and keeping healthy during this difficult time.

My Philosophy: To find students passionate to learn the "Bel Canto Opera Technique". Everyone is welcome, all types of voices! My focus is to find the right balance in your voice, through vocal exercise, range, intonation, breathing, appropriate repertoire and of course learning the style of each aria or role. Another goal is to maintain a healthy voice. This may seem easy, however these days we see short careers that don't last long. This is because many singers start singing heavy repertoire before their voices are ready. One must learn to make correct, pure sounds when beginning training. Some young singers try to fabricate a heavy sound to sound more mature. When not ready for the bigger roles, one can destroy the fragile vocal chords of the voice and destroy hopes of a long career in opera.

This and much more you will discover through these lessons.

Hope to see you soon and Happy High ...
