Farmingdale, NY Singing Lessons

I've been teaching voice lessons for over ten years. I begin with a Berklee College of Music book as a foundation and then I flourish the student with techniques, theory, and inspiration from many sources. Past students have been nominated for Grammys and excepted to prestigious schools.

Hi, I'm Edelweiss, an experienced and passionate voice teacher who had helped young and adult people reaching their vocal goals through proper techniques and love for singing. My classes are tailored according to everyone talents and goals. My commitment with you is to help you get the best of your voice, sing with ease, and enjoy what you do.

All levels, styles, interests, genres and passions! All are welcome!

As a voice instructor, I focus on basic Alexander technique, selecting songs for practice according to each student's voice category and personality. I also coach them in acting, various musical styles, and stage presence based on my experience as a music producer.

I teach all levels. Lessons can include:
Proper breath control
Proper vocal exercises
Building support
Increasing chest and head voice skills
Confidence building
etc

I have been teaching voice lessons for 3 years, I have a degree in Vocal Performance from New York University.

I have experience in teaching and performing a wide variety of musical genres including Broadway/Musical Theater, Pop, Jazz, Rock, and R&B/Soul. I also teach various vocal techniques, including "legit" singing for opera/theater, belt technique, and jazz technique.

The structure of my singing lesson typically consists of warm-ups and technical development for the first half, then working on song repertoire for the second half. I like to discuss the acting and emotion of a song too, because I think it's important to know what you're singing about and to be able to give a compelling performance.

I use my background in yoga to help my students find relaxation in their bodies and connect to their breath. Body-awareness is very important for singing and I also incorporate this into my lessons.

I have been teaching people how to sing for the past 13 years, and in that time I have seen my students grown and flourish. My background is in classical voice, however my singing career taken me from the opera stage, to musical theater and even to rock and world music.

I work hard to give my students a solid and real understanding of how their voice works, and what they need to do to make it better.

Many students who started with me while in High School have gone on to attend of some of the most prestigious schools in the country including The Julliard School, Indiana School of Music, Carnegie Mellon, New England Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music and Peabody. They also have done very well, many attending All-State, All-Eastern, All-National Choruses, and placing in singing competitions.

Most students see an big changes in their sound and often their range as well by the end of their first lesson. Learning to sing better is something we can all do with the right ...

I graduated magna cum laude with my BFA in Vocal Performance from Carnegie Mellon University and am currently working in the industry in New York City performing in musicals and operas. I am classically trained and well versed in many musical styles having sung in different venues from St. Peter's Basilica to the Fuse Fangoria Chainsaw Awards. I have been taking private voice lessons for 10 years and have had 4 years of private voice coachings.

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.
