What a gift, to have ears such as theirs! For those with “perfect pitch” it truly is a blessing which they were, quite literally, born with. But for most of us, playing by ear is simply a skill, and, like all skills, it can be learned. And it should. Your caliber and utility as a player increase dramatically when you can pick up tunes on the spot. And you will save a fortune on all the sheet music that you’ll no longer need to buy!

Experienced voice teacher of over 20 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of technique including breathing and exercises designed to improve strength, power, and range while decreasing tension in the jaw, face, and throat. I specialize in teaching students to relax and to not sing from the throat and chest. For non-singers I can focus solely on ear training and pitch matching which is often necessary for auditions and performing on other instruments as well as voice.
