Lessons Offered:

“Classical” Voice:  The first aim of these lessons is the uncovering and freeing of your natural voice. The secondary goal is the training of your natural voice in the Bel Canto style through body alignment, breath, and vocalises. While rooted in a classical framework, students can bring any style/genre of music to work on: Musical Theater, Pop, Singer-Songwriter, Country, Art Songs or Arias. Generally, the first half of a lesson is spent on technique, second half on applying technique to repertoire.

Piano Accompanying/Coaching: For singers who need a functional pianist to accompany their songs for an audition/performance prep. The focus here is more on teaching notes/diction from the piano, or on character and performance work. I can also record piano accompaniments to serve as practice or audition tracks.

Music Theory Tutorials: For music students who need help on Theory homework, Sight-Singing, Ear Training/Aural Skills, or for those interested in musical analysis of form and harmony. From basic music literacy to college-level analysis and composition.
