I am a mezzo-soprano and have been introduced to Nana by Mrs. Virginia Zeani. I have been taking voice lessons with Nana for more than a year and was able to benefit from her very solid vocal technique teaching method. Nana is a great pianist and a wonderful voice teacher. As a teacher, Nana is dedicated, patient, and meticulous. She helped me overcome many difficulties and achieve progress in each one of my voice lessons. I owe a lot of my success at my recent Carnegie Hall debut to her help and efforts. Since I live in NYC, my lessons with Nana are conducted on Skype when in-person coaching is impossible. Nana is also a great mentor and is always ready to advise and help her students whenever and however she can. On a personal level, she is kind, generous and honest. I would strongly recommend Nana with great enthusiasm!

I have been Nana’s student for the past two years and can confidently say that she has transformed my voice. Before I took lessons with Nana, I had no volume or projection to my voice. Because of consistent emphasis on: tone quality and technique, diction and articulation, vocal artistry, breath support, projection and rubato, phrasing, and interpretation of foreign languages, Nana has helped me become a better musician and even achieve high jury scores at my school. As an 11th grade vocal major Dreyfoos School of the Arts, my vocal teachers have said that Nana is doing great work with me. Looking back at 2016, Nana helped me learn a tremendous amount of repertoire, which is why after each lesson I feel so accomplished. She goes above and beyond at each lesson, paying attention to every detail in a piece. She always has the future in mind and cares about moving forward with her students. It is evident she wants the best for her students because she is always encouraging me to participate in competitions and perform as much as possible. She is also an excellent pianist, so having a voice teacher AND accompaniment is a huge blessing for any singer. Again, she is extremely qualified. Just recently, Nana helped me become part of Palm Beach Opera’s Studio, a seven-month training program that fosters the skills high school students will need to pursue a successful music career in college and beyond. To summarize, having Nana as a teacher is such a valuable investment in anyone's musical future. She has truly impacted my life. Alexandra Slusarenko

I began working with Nana approximately 3 years ago as an adult 1) intermediate level piano student restarting after a 30 year hiatus and 2) vocal student with no former solo vocal instruction but great interest in assessing my own vocal skills. I am pleased to share that my experience with Nana as a piano and vocal instructor has been extremely beneficial and rewarding. I feel very fortunate to have located such a fine teacher and coach. Nana’s musicianship, teaching experience and professionalism is outstanding. PIANO: At the start, Nana observed and assessed my piano performance level and discussed my personal goal to continue studying classical piano. We set preliminary goals and began my preference for weekly sessions which I felt would help keep me on track. We continue to work on the development of technical skills and musical aspects with levels of music that are interesting and challenging and continue to build my classical repertoire. VOCAL: As a novice vocal student we started from the beginning. Nana has taught me the basics of breathing, breath control, musical accuracy (also for piano) and articulation. She uses the Bel canto method and with scale training, warmups and vocal selections I have been able to develop and expand my soprano range. She has made very appropriate short solo selections which are always challenging and enjoyable to learn. As a performance artist herself, Nana is knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. She is able to demonstrate and/or explain new techniques and concepts. I have observed her at recitals with children, teens and young adults at various levels of musical competency and she always is able to bring out the very best in each student. It is clear that Nana’s training with well known, celebrated musicians/teachers and her own professional career in piano performance and opera have been beneficial and of great value to me. I have also observed how she works with and successfully prepares students for auditions to BAK and Dreyfoos School's of The Arts. Although I have a long way to go to in my musical journey Nana is best coach and guide for me. I highly recommend Nana Morimoto for piano and vocal instruction for interested students of all ages.
