During my time with students, I strive to assist them in taking risks, discovering the joy of music, and making progress with their singing. No matter what their goals are- All-State Choir, opera, musical theatre, or just having fun, I love helping them reach them. By looking at different genres of vocal music, we will focus on many different aspects of singing, from music theory, to expressive performance, to the foundation of healthy singing.

I believe that every student is unique and learns in his or her own way. Therefore, I tailor the pace and focus of lessons on each student’s interests and abilities. I believe it is integral for all students to have an understanding of music theory and therefore, work on theory and sight-reading. In addition, I think a well-rounded musical education is key, and work on an array of genres with my students including folk songs, art songs, and musical theatre. Students will work on 2-5 songs at once, and will consider a song "learned" once ...

Have had over 12 years experience teaching singing. Proficient in opera, pop, jazz and broadway show tunes.

Having sung leads on Broadway in shows including "1776" and "Annie" and studied with two very prominent voice teachers, I place a lot of emphasis on support and placement and being each lesson with a series of exercises designed to teach vocal technique. When coaching a song , as I am an acting as well as voice teacher, I work on dramatic interpretation as well. The song is not just the music, but the words and the emotions as well. I want my students to leave their lessons feeling they have accomplished something and loving singing as much as I do.

Every lesson I teach is tailored to the individual needs of the singer, both vocally and artistically. Students will receive a vocal workout specific to their voice type and vocal issues. Additionally, I offer students training for auditions, songwriting, recording technique, and performances. Past students h ave gone on to perform on broadway, national tours and American Idol.

I've been singing since I was 4 years of age and I have realized over the years that it all starts with breathing. If you can breathe properly, then you'll be able to sing notes you didn't think you'd be able to

My name is Shavit. I am a musician, composer and singer, graduated from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in NY with honors.

I started teaching music- voice, solfage, ear-training, piano for beginners and the connection between a song and the singer, when I was 16. I was working in a conservatory and every year I had a group of musicians that I use to teach. They came to class together or alone and we worked on what they needed at the time. A few needed help of how to reach a song and how to connect to it, some of them didn't know how to read music and needed me to work with them on the music background, some of them wanted to work on a song they learned in school. I worked with students in all levels.

My students always told me that I have a lot of patience, that I am very clear with my explanations and that they could tell that I love to teach and share music information.

My technique is for the contemporary pop or musical theater singer. I can get new students on the path to singing quickly. Ie can also help with auditions and any problems that experienced singers may have in general or with specific songs.

I use clearly defined directions that all students can use to help produce a more balanced and resonant sound. You may have had lessons in the past where you received vague and often confusing directions from the teacher such as "sing through the top of your head", "think down as you go up", or "bring the sound forward". I utilize current scientific understanding of vocal acoustics and harmonics. Changes are created immediately through a combination of breath control, vocal cord/fold closure, and the use of vowels to affect the resonators (throat and mouth). This is why I can get students singing right away and also how I can fix most issues that arise with experienced singers.

I am a professional vocal coach with 15 years of experience. I've studied vocal music at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and earned a Bachelor of Science in Music & business from Nyack College. I will create a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals and gain the confidence essential for all singers to possess. We will work on vocal techniques including, posture, breathing/air support, vocal resonation/voice projection vocal placement, range extension, tone quality, vibrato, stage presence and more. I teach all genres of music and audition preparation is also available. I look forward to creating beautiful music together.
