Sunnyside, NY Singing Lessons

I have been singing since I was old enough to sing and it's something I do professionally almost every day. I will teach you some basic techniques such as breathing, posture, singing exercises and how to select a repertoire that best fits you. From there, we will go on to develop your goals as a vocalist and make you feel great about taking the floor, whether it be at karaoke, a party, the stage or your living room. I'm excited to meet you and sing with you!

I believe that having control over your sound is essential to being a successful singer! I go through a series of exercises that help students to develop strong vocal technique, and acquire their best sound!

I encourage students to explore repertoire from Pop and Rock to Jazz and R&B. Finding songs that are meaningful to you can have a strong impact on an audience, and can be life changing for a student as an artist!

Our ultimate goal as a singer is communication, and developing a healthy technique enables us to express freely! Whether you're singing on the stage professionally, or in front of friends and family, the goal is still the same- to sing your very best- and the tools we will build together will last a lifetime!

Technique is number 1! And before you even get to the vocal work, Breathing technique is key! So we will begin with that, and work forward. The Ultimate goal is to get your Technique working so well for you that you don't have to think about it, it begins to happen automatically. Ive been teaching voice privately over the last 5 years, and doing vocal workshops as well.

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

Do you want to learn how to sing Broadway (belt), Pop, Jazz, Gospel or R&B? I teach a cross between Belle Canto and the Riggs Technique which gives the voice a full rich sound. I also teach Performance, vocal anatomy, coaching for local competitions, and upcoming auditions, as well as vocal technique.

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.

Former Elphaba in Broadway's "Wicked", Carla knows her way around the singing voice. Whether you are working towards a career in performing or just want to sing for fun, Carla works with all levels of singers as young as 9. She'll help you find your mix, belt, falsetto, twang and everything in between!

My students will learn the keys to a healthy, vibrant sound! I teach my students important and personalized vocal techniques and nuances that fit their range, style and skill set. My students will be able to produce a healthy, resonant and unique sound that fits their musical interests and personal strengths as a singer. I will guide them in choosing music and vocal literature that compliments them while appeasing their musical tastes and preferred genres. I will encourage them not only in the physical act of singing, but also the act of performing- as portraying the character or expressing an emotion is just as important as a beautiful voice! We will also dive into the important basics, such as breathing technique and exploring the vocal anatomy, as well as approaching more advanced topics about the singing voice, in order to make them a more well-rounded and knowledgable vocalist.
