Introduction: I prepare my students to succeed as performers and human beings, guiding them to find their true potential, going beyond their self-limitations. I work ONLY with women of any age, and children, no matter what is their previous experience with music and ONLINE ONLY. As Alumna of one of the best music school in the world, Berklee College of Music, majored in Songwriting as a Vocalist, I teach my students Berklee's method combined with my personal experience and international background, since I'm originally from Milan, Italy. I prepare students for auditions, (I saw some of them winning music competitions), I teach them breathe management, healthy vocal technique, how to efficiently practice and learn songs, stage presence, performance skills, and anything the students want to work on. I teach also Piano for Beginners, and for the ones who aspire in pursuing a professional career in the music field, I teach contemporary harmony, ear training, songwriting and music business, since I also completed a Master in Music Business at the Catholic University of Milan, and worked at major label EMI Music Italy. I love to see my students growing their skills and witness their joy in singing, and as a teacher, I learn from them too! I love to give my best to all of them, and I love the challenge of knowing that is also my responsibility to grow their motivation and engagement as coach! I never understood the true importance of a mentor, till the moment I became one, and I witnessed the incredible empowerment for students who started to believe in themselves only because a mentor was believing in them first. Through a partnership with my husband, artist, music producer and filmmaker, Jandro Cisneros, we develop my best students who are really interested in pursuing a music career, and we offer them Recording Master Classes, real experience in recording studios, while producing their songs and music videos. If you are interested in this option, please contact me. Thank you!

I’ve studied voice for close to a decade (both privately and as part of my college major) and Cristina’s teaching has made singing easier than it’s ever been. Even though I’ve only been working with her for a couple of months, I no longer fear if I’ll hit a note because I know how to support it and have confidence in that. On top of that, Cristina puts so much effort into our lessons, and wants you to grow not only as a singer but as a well-rounded musician with a good ear and knowledge of music theory. She’s really a wonderful instructor and such a pleasure to work with!

Cristina is the best vocal coach I've ever had. From elementary school to the last day of high school, I worked with five vocal coaches, worked in award-winning choirs, sung in European cathedrals, and attended many choral workshops. Even with all of this, Cristina has no match. She is special and exceptional. Cristina is beyond dedicated to her students. She is with you on every note, every warm up, every phrasing, and has a unique ability to call her students to the next level. Each lesson is filled with laughter and ambition, and I am able to meet our shared standard because she explains complex concepts at my particular level of understanding. I always had an underlying issue of vocal self-acceptance, and she has obliterated that fear while working with me. In the past several months my voice has drastically unlocked, with close friends and bandmates hearing a massive change for the better. Beyond the wonderful lessons themselves, Cristina hears you as a person. She hears the technique you're building along with your personal identity. She expands that part of yourself that IS the artist within you, and reminds you that there is no impossibility. There is no line on the horizon, and I'm grateful to say I found a trusted coach who will travel to the edges with me. Cristina is the teacher you always wanted to find. Book with her.

Cristina is a talented artist with an undeniable natural gift for singing and performing, but also a very well-trained voice. If you have heard Cristina’s Live Cover of Rise Up (in YouTube) you have probably found that you needed to remind yourself to start breathing every so often. My two daughters, eight and seven-years old, have always been attracted to music and love singing! Yet, because of their age they are very playful and active and so it is a challenge to keep them focused on any subject. Cristina started as their singing instructor around 6 months ago. Because they saw many of her YouTube videos, they were instantly more interested in learning from her. In addition, Cristina allowed them to practice by singing their favorite songs which makes their classes fun for them. She uses very practical examples for conveying some complex concepts and gives them with very detailed feedback on their singing. Because of Cristina’s professionalism and enthusiasm my daughters are making gradual but significant progress in singing techniques, performance as well as some music theory. I think we are lucky to have found her, and I would not hesitate to recommend Cristina to anyone interested in bringing their singing and performance skills to the next level.

Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate your beautiful words, they touched my heart! As you can see, I really love to teach and inspire young girls like your two wonderful daughters, who are also so diligent, discipline, hard workers, and such great students to work with! Also, your unconditional support during classes and beyond, it's making a huge difference in their growth, and I'm really grateful for that partnership! Your daughters have a strong passion, plenty talent, and a very musical predisposition, although they are very young they can do exceptional things, and they teach me too about resilience, motivation and hard work! It's a true pleasure being their singing teacher, witnessing their musical growth, boosting their self-confidence and esteem through performing weekly, and helping them achieving their musical goals!

I completed a Bachelor in Music at Berklee College of Music, Boston, MA, specializing in Songwriting and Voice Performance. I also completed a Master Degree in Music Business, and I also took additional classes on Vocal Jazz Ensemble at the New England Conservatory, Boston, MA.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started to teach first in a music school in Milan, Italy, while I was also developing a career as a performer, winning multiple singing and songwriting contests in my country, included being featured at the renown talent show X-Factor.
