    About Celeste M.

    5.0
    (4)
    Hello! I am an Off-Broadway musical director/composer and between shows I conduct private voice lessons to students of all levels and ages in NYC. Many of my students are aspiring musical theatre actors or actresses, but many are simply passionate about singing. What I specialize in: - Creating personalized warm-up techniques that are healthy for each student to expand range (belt and head voice) - Strengthening breath and core, locating vocal power - Creating healthy vocal habits, identifying and breaking detrimental patterns - Learning new music - Finding music that fits within range, or music that is slightly challenging. - Prepping for musical theatre auditions (elementary school through professional) - incl. behavior, preparation, song selection, etc. - Vocal recording skills (with equipment - ask for more details) - Creating a demo reel (video & audio - ask for more details)

    Celeste is an amazing teacher. She's extremely knowledgeable in singing and in teaching singing as well. She makes me feel really comfortable (singing is not my strong suit) and knows exactly what to do to help me improv. Celeste listens to what it is I am hoping to achieve and pushes me to do so. Works at the pace you need!
