Piano Lessons: Come learn concepts of fingering, keys, scales, chord structures, sightreading and theory, and how to play by ear! Lessons aren't always taught in a book, I tend to step out the box with songs and activities to make piano fun and easy to learn. Music Theory, Sight-singing, & Ear Training: Music is a beautiful language - not only is it wonderful to communicate through artistic expression, being able to read, write, and speak musical concepts with other musicians will make you a stronger musician. Students will learn how to sightread music and develop a musical ear, apply basic to immediate principles in music theory, and will receive coaching through music repertoire (i.e. harmony, intonation, style, diction, expression). Online Lessons on OOVOO: If you are not able to commute to the studio, I offer lessons in voice, piano, and music theory to clients anywhere in the world-on OOVOO...All you need is a free OOVOO account, a Computer, a Webcam (compatible for OOVOO) with built-in Microphone, OR a Headset (compatible for OOVOO), a Strong Internet Connection and Music, of course! Tutoring in Beginning French for Children - I also teach Basic French and am available for Individual tutoring for children, ages 4-10 years. My goal as Voice Instructor, Vocal Coach and Piano Instructor is to push talent to go a step further in each lesson, because I see and hear what they could be capable of if challenged. I motivate and embrace each student’s originality as musicians and performers while helping them improve and have fun! A little about me, I received a Master's in Vocal Performance with a primary focus on vocal technique, breath coordination, crossover vocal style, coaching, and dramatic interpretation. As an experienced voice instructor for developing technique and restoring voices of all genres, and a vocal coach specializing in crossover and and contemporary talent (pop, alternative rock, R&B/urban, gospel,etc.). I have also had the opportunity to coach rap lyricists and spoken word artists into developing vocal stamina with proper vocal technique and exercises to help reduce strain and fatigue while doing shows. My music curriculum includes honing technique, projection and stamina, breath and body coordination, dramatization and stage presence, as well as learning and applying concepts in music theory, and music appreciation. I also advise and provide holistic resources on nutrition and diet, maintaining vocal and physical health, ways to relieve vocal strain, muscle tension and anxiety, artist development, and lyrical analysis of songs. I teach my students to not focus on the length of their practice, but work productively so that they become better musicians, and aid in setting goals and discipline for them. After 3 or 6 months students would have learned a foundation of vocal technique and/or beginning piano, basic concepts of music theory, and how to approach a new song with a new mindset of study and performance. In my sessions, I enjoy empowering students to develop self-esteem, confidence, and discipline as they set goals for themselves. Overall I help students help themselves instill a positive work ethic, and encourage students to discover who they are through their innate abilities to perform and make music. For more advanced vocalists, it is rewarding to see and hear them perform at their peak as we troubleshoot technical areas together and how to emote honestly through our music.
