TEACHER

For over twenty-five years I have been teaching voice for singers and speakers in New York City. I am available to teach private voice lessons, group lessons, vocal coaching, workshops and master classes. I have received certification in Somatic Voicework™ The LoVetri Method in Levels I, II, and III while attending the Shenandoah Conservatory in Virginia. I combine my Somatic Voicework™ training with the influences of my dynamic mentors along with my professional singing and acting experience.

 

Here is a list of my degrees and certificates: Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Performance, Interactive, Media Arts CUNY-Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY; Bachelor of Science (BS) in Music and Performance Art Studies with Honors CUNY-Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies, New York, NY; Including certificates in Acting from the American Conservatory Theatre (A.C.T.), in San Francisco, CA and the British American Drama Academy (BADA), in Oxford, England UK.

STUDIO DESCRIPTION

In my studio I concentrate on healthful singing. My goal is to help the student to find joy, freedom and personal expression in singing and speaking - and to keep the student's unique

individuality as a singer and storyteller.

I work with students to build a healthy technique for singing jazz, blues, folk, musical theater, and professional speaking. Teaching is about listening, patience, understanding and two-way communication with the student. It is exhilarating to be a part of the student’s growing awareness of their voice and

body, and to see them achieve their vocal goals!

MUSIC IS THE ELIXER OF LIFE

SING 

Together we will work on body awareness, breath management and vocal and physical exercises specifically for your needs. Focusing vocal exercises on what your voice is doing, how it functions.

 

Functional technique is the key to achieving the ability to sing with ease, to seamlessly move through the chest and head registers. The tools and concepts of Somatic VoiceworkTM provide a clear understanding of the body, the physiology of what is happening in the larynx, as well as a coherent language to communicate

healthy singing and care of the voice.

BE PREPARED

EXPRESS

Whether you are preparing for an upcoming gig, recording, musical theater performance, choir

solo, speaking engagement, or would like to further explore your expression through singing, we can work together to help you achieve your goals! I work with students of all levels. Beginning at age 9, teens, adults, and elders!
