Broadway Singing with Natasha V.

Merry Melody Music Academy

I provide individualized lesson plans for students in voice and piano by establishing the fundamental steps towards healthy and sustainable techniques. Students learn the importance of theory, sight-reading, and musicianship skills to further their advancement as musicians. Lessons are designed to support diverse learning styles and the metacognition of each student. Voice students are actively performing roles within their community theatre programs.

Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Boston, MA — SPRING 2021 Graduate Assistant Course: Teaching Practicum in Applied Voice (Virtual Teaching) I taught voice lessons as a diagnostician through the subsystems of the voice. Students learned healthy vocal habits and development through anatomical body mapping and self-awareness practices along with the physiology of the voice. Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Boston, MA — FALL 2020 Co-lecturer/Graduate Assistant Course: Voice for Non- Majors (Virtual Teaching) I developed a syllabus for a fourteen-week course on voice for non-majors. I created and delivered lectures on vocal pedagogy, vocal health, performance, diction, intro to classical singing, the history of musical theater, and CCM improvisation. Classes had a variety of group instruction, masterclasses, and private lessons. Students performed a piece from each vocal genre, and maintained a journal to further their learning beyond the semester. Students also presented music from their identifying culture to educate and bring awareness to music diversity. All assignments were managed through Google Classroom. Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Boston, MA — SPRING 2020 Graduate Assistant Course: Repertoire for the Teaching Studio (In-person & Virtual Teaching) I assisted in organizing repertoire for various genres in the voice studio. The repertoire was determined by analyzing different voice types and the pedagogical benefits of that repertoire for the student.

I lead youth ensembles through warm-ups and assisted in teaching music. I was responsible for teaching theory and musicianship classes weekly using the Kodály method. During my time at the program, the students were recognized for their fundamental music skills by Pinkalicious and Peterrific on PBS. The students were invited that same year to sing for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Massachusetts State House for the governor.
