Brooklyn, NY Singing Lessons

I teach Beginner, intermediate and advanced students - all levels of singing. I teach how how the entire voice with the entire body.as well as how to prepare for auditions and performances.

I have been involved with singing longer than any other art form. My mama sang constantly as she worked. I sang along from my crib. First came the Arias, Later in life, Musical Theatre and later still, singer/songwriting. I have had the benefit of many teachers and eclectic tastes and love passing on the knowledge. There is nothing more fun than watching someone discover their own voice.

Voice Lessons for singers of all ages and levels of ability.

I have many years of experience as a vocal coach. I have worked with all voice types and all ages as well.

I teach all styles of voice, including musical theater, pop, classical, and opera. I believe that breathing is the most integral part of singing, and I bring to each lesson the understanding that the voice is a muscle that needs to be patiently trained, much like you would do a physical workout in a gym. Typically, I begin lessons with warm-ups tailored to each student’s skill level and goals. Then, we work on pieces related to the student’s interest, generally including one classical piece and one contemporary piece, analyzing the similarities between these styles and applying the same skills to both. Students can expect to see improvement in their projection, style, diction, musicality, and performance practice. My students enjoy our lessons together because they leave each lesson with a clearer direction that they can apply to the songs they desire to sing.

From a very young age, I have had extensive training in Operatic, Classical, and Broadway style voice. I have performed with Symphony Orchestras as well as Broadway Shows. I will help work with my students to not only find their voice, but also build an Appropriate repertoire and cuts of music suitable for any audition.

I am a professional operatic soprano who has performed leading roles with the San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Pacific Opera Project and so many more. I recently relocated to NYC from LA, so my rates are on the low side as I build a new studio. I specialize in helping students relieve vocal tension and pressure, as well as teaching proper breath support and Bel Canto technique. During my training as an Adler Fellow at the San Francisco Opera, I performed everything from Sondheim to Wagner, and I firmly believe that with good technique, you can easily sing in any style, as I often do. I can work with any age of student, and I am excellent at balancing professionalism with accessibility. My lessons are a completely judgement free zone, your comfort and freedom to relate to me on your level are of the utmost importance. Most importantly, you WILL make progress in each lesson and you will leave feeling better and more confident after each lesson. Let's get to work!

I take the time to get to know each student, their favorite genres of music, their experience singing, and assess their ability at the beginning of the first lesson. I incorporate breathing techniques and anatomical understanding from the start, ensuring that my students will be better prepared to sing comfortably and correctly. I keep the atmosphere light, allowing for personalities to shine, and most importantly, I give them tons of encouragement reassuring them that they are among family. One of the most important aspects of a voice class, is to make your student(s) feel comfortable, cheer each other on, and respect one another as individuals with individual gifts.

My students learn VERY quickly and build a solid singing technique. I taught my 19 year old daughter to sing as a youngster and she is now one of the best young opera singers in New York. She studies with Marlena Malas, who is the most famous teacher in New York City, but constantly calls me to help her work through various technical issues. And I can help you the same way.

I teach all voice types, male and femaleand genres from begiiner to professional levels.
