Voice Lessons in La Mirada, CA

I’m a professional singer and voice teacher with a Master’s degree in Voice and Opera. I offer singing lessons for a wide arrangement of students in a wide variety of styles. Beginner, intermediate, or experts all welcome. While classical is my specialty, and I believe a classical base is helpful for all types of singing, I also teach pop, jazz, and musical theatre as well. Recommended for students age 13 and up, adults and teenagers welcome. I also provide music tutoring services in subjects such as Music Theory, Music History, Sightsinging, and Foreign Language Diction. Lesson rates range from $50-$100, depending on length of lesson and location.

I teach internationally by Zoom. I have students in Singapore, Armenia, England, the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast. We come together biannually for Masterclasses where the students, singing and piano, all ages, levels, and genres, perform for each other. It's a real community of art and friendship. My education (BM, MM and DMA in Piano Performance from USC, plus years of vocal study), performance experience (international tours as an accompanist) and teaching experience (both university and private) give me a unique perspective. Being involved in theatre, I also emphasize the dramatic aspects of interpretation (facial expression and gestures) in vocal coaching. I use technology to work on both the audio and visual aspects of performance. Lessons are structured to include both technique and repertoire. For singing lessons, I combine the functions of three separate professionals: voice teacher, accompanist, and coach. It costs a lot less to hire one professional instead of three! My fees are: 60 minutes=$120, 45 minutes=$90 and 30 minutes=$60 (only recommended for young students who can't concentrate for longer periods). I look forward to working with you!

I have been a professional singer for 20 years, including 18 years teaching vocal techniques and everything related to the process to becoming an artist. I teach all levels, from children to seniors, beginners to professionals, from classical to pop music. I use a contemporary singing method that has scientifically tested every sound, vocal scheme, and ornament I teach. Sing like your idols! I have the tools and the experience to guide you along the way.
