The techniques that I employ will allow the singer more ease of vocal production and therefore an enhanced quality of sound. This leads to an Improvement in both tone and pitch.

I have been teaching and performing professionally for over 30 years at all levels, from beginners to undergraduate music majors of flute at major universities. I am a retired professor of music and my students have won various competitions at all levels. We will focus on developing proper technique, building good practice habits, and long term improvement.

Teach basic theory; note values, note names, intervals, sight-reading

I have experience teaching music theory and aural skills classes in both private and group settings. I have taught theory and aural skills at the Eastman School of Music, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Ithaca College, and the NYSSSA School of Orchestral Studies. I am also a published author in the Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy. I have experience teaching all levels of theory, from fundamentals to post-tonal, and am familiar with all of the major solmization systems (moveable-do, fixed-do, scale degrees, la-based minor, letter names, Takadimi). Music theory pedagogy is one of my greatest passions!

Vocal, classical training through breath-control and specific vocalizes, designed to contour, strengthen, and extend the voice. Exercises in articulation, phrasing, breathing, and dynamics will complete a well-rounded classical technique.
