Music Lesson Instructors in Poughkeepsie, New York (Dutchess County)

I attended the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and I have over 10 years of teaching piano at private schools and as a private piano teacher offering home lessons. My teaching methodology is comprehensive, effective, unique and dynamic. I can teach all the tools to read and sight read music, and I encourage structured musical improvisation and original compositions. Moreover, attention to self expression and individualized, tailored practice goals are important to meet the needs and abilities of every student. I am accepting new students for private lessons in your home and I am happy to provide any other information at your request. All piano inquiries are appreciated, thank you.... See More

I am a very experienced voice teacher of tweens, teens and adults. I had a full career singing opera and operetta, oratorio, lieder recitals, as well as musical theater. I have degrees in vocal performance from the University of Cape Town, South Africa and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, UK. I have been teaching voice and coaching singers for over 11 years in Westchester County, NY. My students have done very well in NYSSMA, ACD and local musical theater programs, as well as entering good colleges to study musical theater. They have won awards and one student has toured with the National Company in Sister Act. My students learn a very strong classical technique, that will stand them in good stead with many styles of singing and assure them of a healthy and long-lived vocal life. I am patient and kind, as well as being a very engaged and lively teacher. I take a personal interest in each of my students, making sure that I find his/her unique voice, so that he/she can be fully expressed as a musician and a performer, whether it be singing classical music or musical theater with a little pop and church music thrown in for good measure. I work with beginning students as well as those who are more advanced. I teach in my studio in Hartsdale, as well as offering online lessons on Zoom, Skype or Facetime for students who need Distance Learning I offer a 30 minute free assessment lesson so that my prospective students can get to know me, and I them. I would love to teach you so do be in touch.... See More
