Singing is one of the most joyful activities you can do! Anyone can learn to sing.
I love teaching others to sing and perform, and I've been doing so for over 20 years - through private lessons, music theater workshops, music schools and choruses. I work with students where they are at and help them to build a solid technique that works for them.

(The percentage of people who are actually tone deaf is very, very small.)

I have studied classical voice from the age of 13 with instructors from The Metropolitan Opera. I have sung classical arias in Italian, German, French and Latin.

In our lesson, we will focus on the three pillars of singing: Alignment, breathing, and relaxation. We will work on classical vocal technique through simple exercises. I have exercises for people of all vocal ranges and types. I will adapt my lessons to your specific needs.

We will select the perfect music for you to work on, and I will accompany you on piano. If the music is in a foreign language, I can work on pronunciation with you. If needed, I will record piano tracks for you to practice in between lessons.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to get started!

Voice Performance students such as myself were expected to be able to sing a wide variety of art songs, sacred music literature and arias in English, Italian, German and Latin among other languages. We performed in various venues such as the Kimmel Center and Carnegie Hall and took numerous classes in proper classical diction and performance.

Proper technique along with breathing & mouth space

I accept students of all musical backgrounds beginner to professional.
All styles of repertoire are encouraged (classical, musical theatre, pop)
My teaching methods use posture and breathing techniques, influenced in part by Yoga and the Alexander Technique. I strive to help with better body awareness, tension free singing and exciting exploration of musicality.
I also work with my students on stage presence, phrasing and style to help them deliver their best performance, connect to the joy of singing and the fun of making music!
I can help you start from the very beginning, refresh your skills, gain confidence, and fine tune old and new material.
It's time to get to work!
