About Laura K.

4.8

(17)

Music is the universal language, and there isn't a genre I don't love; it's important to me that that aspect be brought to lessons, as well! From humble New Jersey beginnings to an opera career, I've seen the power of what music can do! Whether it's opera, musical theater, folk, rock, or just public speaking, anything YOU love to do, I would love to teach you! Having taught all ages and levels, from first graders to adults, from someone who's never sung a note in his or her life to semi-professionals, I cater my lessons to what YOU as a student need and are interested in. Lessons shouldn't be a chore - I like to foster an environment you look forward to being a part of! I also think that music, like any sport, is hard work, and takes seriously practice; even hobbies take concentration and application! Through fun and hard work, I look forward to helping you reach your musical goals!

Private Studio

As a voice teacher in my own studio, I've striven to make every student comfortable in a challenging environment! I've taught everyone from professional opera singers preparing roles to pop recording artists preparing their albums, from children learning to sing for the first time to adults with vocal health issues. I've also taught in rented studio space, in students' homes, and in my own home teaching studio.
