About
Hi, I’m Liz! I would love to work with you. **In person lessons- Philadelphia only** Virtual: anywhere Lesson rates: 1h-$120 45min-$90 30min-$60 I am a professional opera singer and teaching artist with Opera Philadelphia and have been teaching voice and piano for over 15 years. I teach both classical voice and piano lessons, as well as many other styles and genres. My in-person studio is located in Fish Town, in the heart of Philadelphia, PA. I also work with students remotely all over the world. Previously, I worked for many years with the Los Angeles Opera and the Houston Grand Opera. I have taught as a Voice Professor and have 2 degrees in voice performance from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and Rice University, with an additional 15 years of competitive piano experience. Voice students learn classic technique, musical theater technique and pop styling. We work finding each student’s authentic sound, connecting to the breath, performance techniques, connecting deeper with their emotions while singing, and how prepare for auditions and competitions for advanced students. We spend and equal amount of time developing proper technique and applying it to songs. Singers will learn to sing songs in Italian/German/French/English, as well as musical theater standards and pop songs. Piano students learn all of their major/minor scales, music theory, proper finger technique, classical songs, pop songs, memorization and performance techniques. Consistent practice habits are discussed every lesson in a safe and encouraging way to keep students progressing every week. All ages and levels are welcome, as I believe music should be apart of everyone's lives. Piano students must be at least 5yrs old. Adults at all levels are welcome! I love watching students figure out how to sing/play the piano with more ease. Both singing and playing piano are such enjoyable and invigorating activities that challenge the mind body and heart. I encourage authenticity in each of my students and help them tap into their innate creative resources. Rates: $120/1 hour $90/45min $60/30min.

Elizabeth has been working with my high school daughter for about a year and a half and we are delighted with the progress she has made. She provides challenges, gently pressing my student forward with positive critiques and suggestions. Each lesson focuses on classical techniques and she emphasizes proper diction for Italian and German songs. Her schedule usually has some flexibility which is very helpful. My daughter loves Elizabeth and as a parent, I love the example she sets!

Liz is a WONDERFUL teacher: organized, patient, kind, and thoughtful! My daughters have been taking virtual piano lessons with Liz, and the growth and learning has been exponential. Liz makes the lessons fun, and she engages with them on a developmentally appropriate level all the way through (they are both in elementary school). Liz is very communicative and available to us, as well. She has a clear curriculum, and she communicates her expectations directly with the kids and with us. She has great suggestions for music learning resources, too. Our daughters are reading music and playing the piano!! Liz is awesome! We highly recommend!!

Liz is my 14 yr. old daughter's vocal coach and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it has been! She has helped my daughter improve her vocal strength and quality and taught her breath control. She's teaching her how to mix her head voice and chest voice for smoother transitions. She has helped her find more power behind her voice and a new level of control and ease. She has challenged her and brought her voice to a beautiful new level! Liz helps my daughter with music for her H.S. mixed chorus and jury tests, for which she has received high recognitions. She also helps her prepare for musical theatre auditions and other school performances. She encourages her to bring in music that is special to her or just fun pieces she wants to attempt. She helps her find her strengths and weaknesses and really pushes her to go further than she thinks possible. Liz has a warm and wonderful personality which has really made my daughter feel comfortable, especially when singing songs that require her to be vulnerable and connect to her emotions. She runs an extremely professional studio and the payment, scheduling, and communication process is easy and efficient. Liz is an EXCELLENT teacher and I highly recommend her !

Doing lessons with Ms. Liz is so much fun and very enjoyable. She made starting lessons very comfortable for someone that had never done voice lessons before. Not only did she help improve my singing, but we also talked about more fundamentals, such as vocal health. Her flexibility with in person and online lessons make things very flexible when scheduling. She is very easy going and always positive in our lesson time. I enjoy taking lessons with Liz so much, and I would recommend anyone (beginner or advanced singer) to take lessons with her!
