Singing Lessons in The Museum District. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching this subject for over 16 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. It is not necessary to know how to read music at the first lesson for beginners. However, learning to read is required for subsequent lessons and will be a large focus for all non-readers. Music is not learned "by ear." A certain amount of theory will be a part of every lesson just as technique and repertoire. Concerning repertoire, it may be selected from the western classical, musical theatre, and popular rep based on the student's goals and learning needs with their input. The main emphasis on performance lessons, however, will be technique and reading. Students should come to the first lesson prepared to discuss their background & goals and the plan of their course of study.

With 3 degrees in vocal performance, appearing in regional houses across the United States, and performing Internationally, not only do I have the experience to guide my students to success in singing, but I bring a fun, light attitude to to my lessons. Students always leave my lessons happy and eager to learn more!

A comprehensive education in voice and general music, accommodating the specific needs of each individual student.

Having been on off-Broadway twice and been invited to perform as soloist at 2017 & 2018 OSCAR CHINA NIGHT, I'm here to teach you to sing in both English and Mandarin (your choice)! I started to play the piano since 5 and was trained classically in voice in China. After I came to the US in 2013 and went to New York Film Academy, I dived into contemporary styles like Broadway, Pop Rock, Disney, Jazz. I'm experienced in switching between classical and modern styles, plus my background in Film/TV as well as on stage taught me to use acting to your full advantage and add on to your singing technique. I found my passion in coaching in March, 2019 when I was thrilled to work as the casting director and vocal coach for Mandarin production of MAN OF LA MANCHA premiered at Symphony Space, NY. I believe that every person is special and is meant to shine in his/her own way, and it is important to be patient, loving and kind toward oneself during the journey of self-growth :)

The technique I practice and teach is all about connection to one's speaking voice, that is, one's truly natural voice. The voice is as unique as a fingerprint, and our goal as singers should always be to sound like the best version of ourselves, not like someone else -- even those that we admire. The most successful singers and performers have voices we recognize and distinguish from others, and that is because they are connected to their own unique and natural sound. As your voice teacher, I will not be teaching you songs. I will teach you how to uncover your own unique voice and produce healthy sound, and we will move forward together from there.
