Introduction
CONGRATULATIONS TO . . . My voice student, COLTON, for being cast in the lead role of Flounder in his middle school's Spring 2025 musical production of "The Little Mermaid." My voice student, JAZZ, for being cast as a Who in her high school's Spring 2025 production of "Seussical the Musical. My adult voice student, BRUNETTE JOSEPH, on the release of her first single, Pran Kè Mwen, on all streaming platforms. NOTE: It would by my pleasure to provide you with my music lessons so please read thru my profile below to ensure that my background and professional experience matches your musical goals. I mention this because thumbtack.com charges us a hefty fee to respond to quote requests and I want to make sure that you are confident that I could be the right teacher for you. Thanks very much! REMOTE LESSONS: Until further notice, unfortunately I am ONLY offering remote piano and voice lessons via Zoom from your computer or smartphone. Under normal circumstances (after COVID-19) students may resume traveling to me for their lessons at my home studio in NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ. I love teaching piano and voice, and over these many years I have had the privilege of working with students young and old alike, from 5-yrs-old to 65-yrs-old, helping them to achieve their musical goals: for budding pianists in teaching them how to play or for seasoned professionals helping them to improve their playing/reading skills. The same goes for voice/singing lessons: learning or reinforcing all the skills it takes to be a singer and applying them to song to create our version of “magic!” I take what I've learned and experienced for these past 45+ years and apply that to a fun and productive learning environment. Most importantly, I love seeing the looks on my student's faces when they realize the improvements that they've made through our time together and their hard work. Their accomplishments, either finally mastering a piano piece that we've been slaving over, or breaking through a vocal brick wall that's been in our way from achieving that goal. There are very few things in life more beautiful than witnessing this kind of success; it's just a great feeling that we share and celebrate. What you should know about me is that music has truly been the biggest and longest part of my life. I started playing piano at the age of 10ish, starting acting/singing on stage in school in 6th grade, and began working as a professional musician when I was about 13-yrs-old. As a pianist/keyboardist and singer, I worked every gig and venue possible: weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, Sweet 16's, proms, birthdays and anniversaries, dive bars, restaurants, high-end nite clubs like the Palladium NYC, concert venues including Lincoln Center and the Central Park Band Shell, street festivals . . . anything you could think of. I've been a Music Director/Accompanist for thirty-years for school, community and professional theater, and most recently with several current and past Broadway stars as well as the Tik Tok sensation, The Sharpe Family Singers, for over twelve years! It's all this combined experience that gives me a huge edge over many other teachers as I have put everything I teach into practice and then some. Additionally, I use professional recording equipment in my home studio for which to make demos, backing tracks CD’s for auditions and performances, and recordings that my student can use as a learning tool or to play for friends and family (maybe there’s another YouTube star in you?!) Some of my students even recorded holiday albums as gifts one year! Also, I have access to an enormous library of music using my studio computers that helps us to expand repertoires.

When I had my first singing lesson with Marty, it was immediately obvious why he has such stellar ratings on this site. First of all, he is EXTREMELY talented at singing and piano. That alone inspires a lot of confidence since you can tell he practices what he preaches. In a way, it is also motivational because you start thinking to yourself "wow, I want to sound like that one day." Marty really excels in how he explains techniques and concepts to you. He does it in a way that makes sense to you personally, and he will make sure you understand before moving on. I also love how honest and straightforward he is. He will give you great feedback on what you can work on, and you can tell there is no BS with anything that he tells you.  He is everything that I was looking for in a teacher, and my only regret is that I didn't reach out to him sooner. Looking back, I think I wasted far too much time trying to teach myself without the right foundation in vocal technique.. Better late than never though! If you are on the fence about getting a vocal coach, do yourself a favor and book a lesson with Marty! There is no commitment to do follow up lessons (unlike some other sites I tried for the same type of service), so it doesn't hurt to just try one and see how you feel about it. Knowing how great of a teacher Marty is, I can pretty confidently say you'll be back for more though!

Details: 26 - 44 years old • Yes, the student can read music • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Musical theater • Pop • Country • Rock • What the teacher recommends • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location

My daughter was taking voice and piano lessons for 2 yrs. We were very unhappy with her progress and looked for different instructors. I came across Marty's bio and he appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. We started voice with him in February of this year and I can't believe the difference not only in my daughter's voice but also in the confidence he has helped her gain. Her vocal strength and range has broaden in such a short amount of time it's unbelievable. Prior to Marty, she refused to sing for anyone and everyone and now in just 5 short months she has decided to sing in a talent competition where there will be hundreds of people. We now have both our kids working with Marty for voice and piano and we couldn't be more thrilled!!! When it's time for lessons my kids practically run out the door because they can't wait to work with Marty. He IS THE music instructor you're looking for!!!! My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner!

This guy knows what he's doing. Not just professional, but also courteous, Marty is the best by far. He has an acutely trained ear and takes your training seriously, but will joke around with you for five minutes to loosen you up when you're nervous. I've been taking piano and voice lessons on a whim and have learned more than I'd expected; after twenty-two years singing in the car, Marty helped me finally find my singing voice in two lessons. I can read music now. He teaches music theory with whatever you're learning to build a greater understanding of what you're doing and music in general.

My granddaughter Ali has been working with Marty weekly for the past 6 weeks and even after just the first lesson we have seen improvement. She continues to improve with each lesson, is excited, more confident, has increased her range and is soooo excited about holding a note for much longer than before. Thanks Marty
