CONGRATULATIONS TO . . . My adult voice student, EMILY, for being cast in the lead role of MARY POPPINS in the current Villagers Theater production. My voice student, ARIANA, for being cast in the NJRT production of "Beetlejuice Jr." My adult voice students, DANIELLE and RICHARD, for being cast in the workshop of the world premier of the brand, new musical, "Pop's Diner." 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 I want you to make sure that you are confident that I could be the right teacher for you. Thanks very much! REMOTE LESSONS: Please take notice that at this time I am only offering lessons remotely via Zoom. 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.
