Bloom celebrates a unique "outside the box" approach to music instruction and learning while incorporating a strong foundation of the essentials, giving each student the tools to make, create, play and interpret any style of music they wish.

Reverb Lessons

Independent

I have been teaching voice and piano for several years across New York City, Austin and Los Angeles. My students range widely in age and proficiency level, from 5 years old to 50 years old, from wee little beginners to professional musicians. I bring a relaxed and holistic yet disciplined approach to my lessons, incorporating warmups, exercises, song performance and interpretation into each lesson, and tailoring each lesson to each student’s goals and interests. In addition to vocal or piano technique, we often work on other areas such as ear training, sight-reading, music theory, music reading skills, self-accompaniment skills, etc. I strive to help my students work towards their own musical self-sufficiency, and I encourage them to explore and uncover their own style of playing and singing. I enjoy facilitating their process in myriad ways from helping them choose and transcribe a pop song, to fleshing out their own arrangement of the song in chord voicings, to improvising their own riffs and vocal runs. It never ceases to be a delight to see my students’ excitement as they discover their own voice and ability to understand and make their own music.
