A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
As a professional singer and graduate of The Juilliard Sch
ool and working Opera singer, I have had the great fortune of training and performing with some of the best in the business.
With performances at Carnegie Hall and with major orchestras such as the Toronto, Vancouver and Seattle Symphonies and around the world, I feel this gives me a unique perspective on the challenges and successes that are possible with a fun, yet focused and healthy technique based approach. Whether a beginners, intermediate or advanced singers looking to hone your skills in musical theatre classical, jazz and even pop voice.
My goal is a well rounded, relaxed yet supported vocal tone with a focus on breath, and feeling rather than by ear. This ensures that no matter what the repertoire, the situation, or the acoustics of the room, you are always focused on healthy, articulate and projected singing.

About Joseph
Hi! In 2006 I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Fashion Design. I immediately began a 10-year career as a menswear designer at Macy's. Since college, I have loved using the Adobe programs for a myriad of projects.
I have always wanted to be a teacher and in 2015 I made a career change and became a College Professor. I currently teach digital design at LIM College, I am an instructor at New York School of Design and I do private lessons. I am also a freelance illustrator.
While my background is in fashion, I have used and taught the programs for other topics such as painting, creating logos, interior design, etc. I love teaching and helping people accomplish their goals.
I would love to work with you!
