Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have over 16 years of experience as a Jersey City/NYC based private voice and piano teacher, performer, and actor. I'm also on the voice faculty of Manhattan School of Music’s Precollege program and the lead singer for the Silver Starlite Orchestra. I moved back to the NYC area about 5 years ago after performing and teaching in London and all over Europe for over 3 years (as well as studying with Sheila Barnes at Cambridge University). Before I hopped across the pond to London, I held a studio in NJ/NYC for 8 years, was the sole music teacher at Professional Arts Academy and worked at Distinguished Concerts International NY - organizing large choirs as well as performing with them at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education (certified to teach K-12 music in NJ), as well as a Master of Music in Music Performance; with a vocal concentration in both degrees. I have been singing and performing all over the world for over a decade (including opera, musicals, pop and jazz) and playing piano since I was a child. Living right outside or inside New York City my entire life and performing around the US, all over Europe, and parts of Asia, I have studied and worked with some of the finest musicians, teachers, conductors, coaches and directors in the business. As musicians are never done learning; I still continue to study with Amy Shoremount-Obra (NYC Metropolitan Opera) and Dan Bar Hava (Manhattan School of Music) as well as monthly masterclasses and seminars. Some of the local halls I have soloed in include Carnegie Hall, David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center, The United Nations (NYC), Walt Whitman Theatre, Miller Outdoor Theatre and many more. I have also acted and sung in 2 independent feature films: Cardio with Ian Todary Productions, NYC (Amazon Prime 2021) and Balls with Parallaxe Films (London, UK; Zurich, SUI). Balls, a film loosely based on my experiences as a teacher/performer, uses the power of music to help a man struggling with Tourette’s. It was met with great acclaim at the Geneva International Film Festival in 2019 and won “best romance” from New York International Film Awards in 2020 and “best feature film” from London Rolling Film Festival in 2021. I have been teaching voice and piano for over 16 years to various levels of musicians. Whether you are looking to improve your singing (and/or speaking voice), learning to play piano for fun or are looking for very serious instruction to be considered for colleges, competitions or summer programs; I can help. I teach all ages: 4 - adult for piano and 7 - adult for singing. Both my voice and piano students have placed in competitions, been accepted into prestigious music programs such as LaGuardia High School of Music, Berklee School of Music, etc, elite choirs, and shows as well as taking exams with ABRSM, NYSSMA and Trinity. I have trained my voice students for auditions for roles on Broadway, the West End, agents, commercials, Master's programs in voice, etc... For singing in different languages I can coach English, German, French, Italian, and Latin. I have also studied with acting teachers and worked with acting directors for the stage, movies and commercials and can coach techniques for onscreen and stage acting. I have a very individualized approach that focuses on each student's strengths and areas for improvement in a highly supportive and encouraging environment at my studio in downtown Jersey City or on FaceTime or Zoom. At the conclusion of each lesson I give the student weekly assignments (that coincides to what their weekly schedule is like) and give the parents/guardians feedback about the lesson.

I haven't taken private lessons before and in just 2 weeks the things I've learned from her have made an impact on my voice. I'm already working on a new song, something I never thought I would be doing so early on. The best part though is the way I feel after the classes. Even if I've had a long day at work and it's raining outside, when I leave Corinn's lessons, I literally feel like everything is ok. I spent 10 years away from music and choosing to go back and take these lessons for myself has been one of the best decisions I've made. I'd recommend Corinn to anyone - adults and kids, beginners and professionals. ~Amita Rating: 5/5 Comments: I have had only two lessons so far and am really enjoying learning my music so that I can sing with confidence at my next concert. Corinn is a wonderful teacher both of technique and confidence boosting. I hope to be able to continue my lessons for the foreseeable future. I am very impressed by FirstTutors. ~Tim Rating: 5/5 Comments: My daughter couldn't be happier that we found Corinn - she says she wishes she could have a lesson everyday. In just 3 short weeks we have seen a major improvement in her piano playing. She has been positive, professional and helpful and we would recommend her to anyone. ~Staci Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is great, even if you're an absolute beginner like me you'll learn so much by taking lessons with Corinn (& you'll have fun too!) ~Ashton Rating: 5/5 Comments: Absolutely fabulous! ~Ekaterina Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is an excellent teacher.

Highly recommended. ~Davorin Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is absolutely wonderful and has been a great asset for me in learning piano! ~Joe Rating: 5/5 Comments: I have found Corinn to be timely, professional, enthusiastic and, as I am a beginner … patient !! ~Alistair Rating: 5/5 Comments: Looking for a vocal teacher? Stop thinking a lot and just opt for Corinn. Trust me, in the first 3 class you are definitely going to see a change in the way you approach singing. She is just awesome. ~Karuppiah Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is a fantastic singing teacher who has the experience and enthusiasm to help achieve targets you set yourself. In the few lessons Ive had I feel my voice has improved by using the correct technique and breathing. Really enjoying our lessons and I would highly recommend her to anyone. ~Marios Rating: 5/5 Comments: Wonderful teacher. Very flexible. She relates really well with young children. Couldn't be happier. ~Amy Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is a fantastic teacher, and I would highly recommend. Share is flexible with lessons and doesn't put pressure on to keep the lessons regular.

All round great teacher and lovely person too! ~Ed Rating: 5/5 Comments: Professional, friendly and flexible!!! Great experience and quick progress! ~Anastasia Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn has been wonderfully accommodating, explains what she is doing very well, is encouraging and so far I am very impressed ~Damian Rating: 5/5 Comments: Corinn is incredibly professional and talented; in addition, she is able to put her students at ease with her clear style of instruction and friendly demeanor. Before the end of the first session, I made significant improvements in my sound and technical abilities. I really enjoy my time with Corinn and can highly recommend her services. ~ James

Corinn has taught my two daughters (13 & 15) piano and voice for the past 3 years. She is the best teacher we have had and we are thrilled that she has moved with us, by sheer luck, from London to NJ! She is extremely reliable and conscientious and is a talented and patient teacher who challenges my girls as individuals and has helped improve their skills tremendously. They look forward to their lessons with Corinn and feel as very comfortable with her. She is a very talented singer and pianist and is passing on her love of music to our daughters. We feel very lucky to have her influence in their lives.

Corinn is a lot fun to work with. She is always full of energy and enthusiasm which shows how much she enjoys what she does. I have taken several singing lessons with her and always walked away having learned something new. If you are looking for someone who is not only good at what they teach, but can also do it very well themselves, Corinn is the person to go to. She's amazing!~Dio

At various times, Corinn has worked with all five of our children for both voice and piano lessons. Beyond her clear musical expertise (both theory and performance), Corinn is one of those rare individuals who works extremely well with both beginner young children (pre-Kindergarten onward) and high school/college students taking advanced ABRSM exams or trying out for Julliard programs. Most importantly, Corinn knows how to make the lessons fun so that the kids are happy to have them, whether the lessons are in person at our home or handled remotely via Facetime, etc. Our family has gotten excellent value from working with Corinn, and we would strongly recommend her to anyone thinking about voice or piano lessons for their family member(s).
