Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Centreville, VA

I have been a professional singer since 1983 and have taught since 1986. I studied voice and trained classically from 1972 - 1982. Several of my students have been professional singers, from rock to opera. I teach the individual to understand the technicalities of the vocal instrument; how to breathe correctly, understand the internal acoustics and how to access them, how to project healthily, how to relax and get out of the way of using your instrument, and so much more. This is not your typical voice curriculum, but even more essential if you want to keep your voice in top form all your life. At 67, I can sing with or without amplification for several hours a day indefinitely because I have mastered the techniques I will teach you.

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I have been teaching professionally for 17 years
It is important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson.
I try to find out what student is interested in, and guide my instruction according to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

I specialize in teaching voice with concentrations in proper technique, proper breath control, placement, musicality and knowledge of repertoire in various genres. (In Studio Only)

You would like to combine fun with your favorite songs and improvement of your voice from your first lesson on?

Hi! My name is Nicholas and I would love to teach your voice. I’ve been teaching private lessons for a little under a year but I have 6 years of experience singing both choral and solo repertoire. I completed 2 years of music courses at Alvin Community College and I’m moving on to my second year at Texas A&M University Commerce where I will soon be finishing my Bachelors of Arts in Music. I can help you with breathing, diction, dynamics, placement, musicality, and so much more! We will learn good technique and put that into practice in your repertoire. Message me if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing you sing :)
