If you want to learn to LOVE performing, get in touch with me! I'm a graduate of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (Vocal Major), as well as the Hartt School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, where I got my BFA in Musical Theatre, and performing is truly in my blood!
I believe that more than anything, performing should be about having fun and making your soul happy. And I believe lessons should be fun as well! Of course we'll get into music theory, healthy & sustainable singing technique, and performance & audition prep, but it's more about finding joy in expressing yourself and giving the student ownership over their art. 
I can also help with college auditions for musical theatre programs, seeing as I auditioned for 25 college myself before deciding on Hartt.
If any of the above interests you, send me a quick question and we'll work out a time that works for both of us! Have a great day!!

Have you always been interested in Tap, but didn't know where to start? We'll go in depth on the essential steps, combinations, and technique to get you feeling like a good old fashioned "hoofer"!

For this class, it is recommended that you wear tap shoes, or if you do not own tap shoes, hard-soled shoes. Find a space with a solid, flat floor that can take a couple scuffs. If you're worried about damaging your floor, a good solve is a piece of wood, as seen in the picture!

In this class we will:

• Learn basic tap steps
• Practice good form and technique
• Put together short routines to show off your new skills!

All 3 of my lessons have been so good and I feel like I walk away just a little better each time

Monica did a nice job of making my shy daughter feel at ease. She is friendly and easy going.

I just had the best session. I would recommend her to anyone. Going to schedule future sessions with her. She was a great listener to find out what I need and what my goals are going forward.

Monica was great with my daughter and tailored lessons around her interest and ability level.

Monica is a treasure! My 10 year old son and I think she is fun and she helps him understand how to execute his lines. I love her upbeat attitude and her knowledge of the acting industry. She puts her all in her time with my kiddo and cares about making sure he succeeds. I am so glad we found her.

She was very nice and encouraging. She made me feel more confident in my voice and helped me project my voice better. I will definitely take more lessons with her!

My 11 yr old daughter has absolutely loved working with Monica and has shown tremendous improvement over the last few months.  If you aren't sure what teacher to choose,  give her a try.  I think you'll like her too!

Monica has been a wonderful teacher. I appreciate that the experience has been very collaborative.  She  will teach a technique and ask if it feels right or sounds right to you and to test it out for a week and if that's not working for you well try a different approach, So it's more trial and error than there is one way to sing.  And I think having some control and agency over your vocal journey leads to a more confident and positive experience. Lessons with Monica have been very open and fun. I feel like I have progressed at a faster rate in the past 3 months working with her than the past 5 years I have been trying to improve my voice. And I am very curious and excited about how much further I'll grow in the future with Monica's assistance.

Wow! I was impressed by Monica's recap from her class about reading music. She made things so clear- it helped me a lot, now I can explain them to my own student more easily!  I also love her positive attitude!

It doesn’t get much better than hearing from my child “Monica is so awesome. At the beginning of the song it goes super low and I couldn’t hit the notes. She helped me with my technique and by the end of the lesson it was easier to hit them! And even though I know I did awful trying to hit them at the beginning she didn’t make me feel like she thought it was bad!”

My kids love their lessons with Monica, she is always positive and supportive with them and I can tell they are improving vocally. Very happy we chose her!

Monica has been great!  Very energetic and positive.  She easily adapts sessions to the student.  She is always on time online and provides additional materials as needed to assist in the learning experience.  I'm having a blast!

Your voice is your instrument, and just like any other instrument, it needs so love and care! If you are trying to become a serious singer, watch this video to find out some of the secrets to keeping your voice in tip top shape for years to come.
