Singing lessons in English for all levels by professional voice teacher, vocal coach and singer

A partir de 80.53 $ /h

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

Acerca de mí

Music has been a major part of my life since childhood. I majored in voice and performed opera for many years, then veered more into musical theatre. I also write musicals, operas, choral music, and songs, many of which get performed with some regularity and have won awards. After moving to New York, I started teaching voice and music and have been teaching now for over 20 years, both with youth theatre programs and privately. I'm learning new things every day and I incorporate them into my teaching as I help students overcome their fears, roadblocks, and anything else that gets in the way of singing beautifully. I continue to sing professionally as well. I am excited to start this new chapter of my life in Berlin!
