Valley Stream, NY Singing Lessons

My name is L'Marco Smith. I work as a photographer and voice teacher for Opus Music Education and taught at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, specializing in Classical/Pop/R&B/ Country/Rock. I'm also a recording artist, having sung with/for names such as Kim Burrell, Robin Thicke, and Brandy, so I am equipped to coach you in recording techniques and vocal production. I have taught many successful students and would love to officially add you to my roster of amazing potential! I teach everyone from kids to adults the proper techniques of singing, and stage presence/ movements; even incorporating some of what I learned while in college; hailing from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, CSULB. I would love to be of assistance!

I am available to coach singers of all levels and ages.

I have been teaching voice for about 5 years now, and am an active performer myself in music theatre and opera. In lessons I work with my students on singing without counterproductive tension and learning to use their breath to support the sound in a way that’s healthy and will keep them singing their whole lives. I create a safe, supportive atmosphere where the student is comfortable to experiment, because I know from experience that is how real learning and expression happens. My performing experience and education allow me to also coach my students in musicality, style, and diction as well so they have all the tools to be elegant, communicative singers. I not only help the students understand what’s going on physically with their body and their instrument, but also give them ideas for ways to practice what they’re learning so they can be their own best teacher in between lessons. I am able to record lessons for my students so they can listen back and hear how the exercises we do in

Whether you are interested to sing in a belt, mix, head, chest voice or all of the above, I can help you! By using well-thought scaffolding methods, based on research, experience, and clinical training my students are given the opportunity to project their voice in a healthy manner and with an extensive vocal range up to five octaves. I train students and professionals for all types of auditions and performances.

I can help singers prepare and learn songs to build their repertoire. Also I can help those wanting to learn to play and sing at the same time. I also teach harmony singing.

Fun, open, and honest!! I have the tools and experience to help achieve your goals.

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 ...

For five years now, I have dedicated time to students of all ages and beginner/intermediate levels. I primarily center my lessons around student goals and personalities, helping them to shine through their own, original manner of speaking through music. In addition, I focus on helping students master a powerful, flexible breath control, unobstructed by any tensions, be it the jaw, the neck, the hips, the knees or even the feet (yes, even the feet, since everything in the body is connected and affects each other)! I work and specialize in interpretation and vocal technique in all styles. I also work in ear training, music theory, and beginner piano. See improvement within two weeks of lessons, and experience new changes in your sound that you didn’t know you could improve!
