Singing with Chrissy S.

Originally born in Germany, I developed a strong interest for music and languages early on. Already in Grammar School I got all my friends together and we would put up little plays that we then performed in front of other classes. Right out of High School my mom and I, an educator at the time, wrote a children's Musical together which found great response with the audience, parents and other teachers. During my Music studies in the Netherlands, I was offered an internship at the local Music School where I enjoyed my first coaching experiences. I wanted to become fluent in Dutch, so I asked my friends to talk to me in the native language in order for me to learn it. After graduating I was chosen as one of the finalists of the local Singer/songwriter Festival that year and got nominated. Over the years I built my own clientele of private students in voice as well as piano which was very exciting. During my stay in New York City, I had the opportunity to work as a musical director with the Broadway cast of the 2005 "Dreamgirls" production as well as to perform with them. That gave me the opportunity to supervise a large group of very talented young people. I also worked with opera singer Kenneth Scott and television director Richard Scanlon on musical pieces and monologues. At some point, I'm hoping to finish my Master's degree in Acting in San Francisco so I can be even more proficient in teaching. Besides writing music and performing in plays, I love to bring out the best in my students! I can only offer what I've learned from my own teachers who were above exceptional! Having said that, I can't wait to bring out the best in YOU, no matter which subject you choose... So, let's do it! Looking forward to working with you soon... Cheers! Chrissy;-)
