    About Leslie Z.

    My name is Leslie and I believe each person has a story to tell and a unique voice to tell it with. Whatever your experience level, I am happy to work with you in identifying and pursuing your goals in music. Whether you're interested in making a career out of music, taking up a new hobby, or rekindling an old skill, I am here to help! I've been trained in classical methods for voice and have been able to translate those healthy techniques to other styles of music. I have most recently performed in operas and musicals and have enjoyed my time singing in choirs and jazz combos. Participating in both performance and education has always been important in my life, and I hope to continue this trend. Not only do I find both settings incredibly enjoyable, but I am a firm believer that teachers should be able to practice what they preach as far as skill acquisition and work ethic! While voice is my primary instrument, I also offer piano for beginning and intermediate students as well as ear training lessons. While we have fun in our lessons and with music, a certain amount of discipline and practice time is necessary for improvement. You'll find that I'm very organized in my approach for all subjects, as I take the time that you are paying for seriously. I work hard to offer comprehensive lessons that will help you with whatever genre you're learning or skills you're working to hone. If you have any questions at all- about lessons, your teacher search, or scheduling, feel free to send me a note, and I'll be happy to get back to you as quickly as possible!

    It's been difficult to schedule the first lesson with Leslie but finally locked down a day/time after about two weeks of trying. An hour before the first lesson today, she called to cancel and let me know that she “accepted a job yesterday so will no longer be giving lessons".

    Leslie is an incredible teacher who makes sure you feel comfortable in the class and makes the class fun. While keeping it fun she help you improve so much, and I can 100% say that my vocal abilities have significantly improved since I started taking classes with her!

    Leslie is really down to Earth and my first lesson with her was great. She makes it clear that the lessons are a safe space. She works with you to figure out a game plan to reach your goals with singing. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with her!
