Voice and Piano Lessons

 

I’m very excited about your interest in furthering yourself a musician! For beginners or advanced students, it is a process that is not always easy, sometimes frustrating, but always rewarding.

 

In studying music, process is everything– the journey is just as important as the destination.  The private studio should be a safe-haven for students. A place for learning, experimentation, failures and successes.

 

I emphasize the importance of process over product and treat all of my students as professionals. Lessons move very quickly, but I will never leave you behind! I am very patient and understanding, but will push you and expand your comfort zone.

Online Lessons

A recent MIT study found that online learning is just as effective as in-person learning.The internet provides a fantastic opportunity to learn from the comfort of your own home!

 

With my setup, I am able to coach you just like we were in the same room together. We will be working one-on-one with sessions tailored to your specific needs.

Testimonials

  • Neal instructs with a perfect balance of leadership, fun, discipline, and empowerment. He is accommodating and empathetic, yet firm. It’s rare to see someone with as much talent as Neal demonstrate the capacity and eagerness to draw out talent in others. He has inspired and transformed both of my sons from shy and nervous with their singing, to confident and energized. Neal has ignited the musical potential in my sons!

  • I have been studying with Neal for six or seven months, and am more than pleased with the results I've gotten. With his help, my voice has improved significantly. He is excellent at finding ways to help improve vocal quality and can spot and fix any technique issues that one may have. He has helped me improve my range, strengthen my voice, learn proper breathing strategies, and so much more. I am definitely glad I chose to work with him, his friendliness and relaxed attitude helps to ease any anxieties I may have; because I'm not afraid of being "judged" for any weaknesses or mistakes, substantial improvement can be made to the weaknesses or issues I may have. I definitely recommend Neal.

    Christina A.

  • Neal has been great from the very first lesson. He is very knowledgeable and conveys his knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is wanting to start singing or to someone who has been singing for years and just wants to sharpen their skills. Neal does a great job no matter what your skill level.

What to Expect

Piano

If you’re interested in piano, I teach a classically-based curriculum. This is a great starting point for all instruments, especially piano! As you progress, we can easily work on other styles in which you’re interested. When it comes to the pieces we will work on, you may have input, but it is my job as an educator to broaden your horizons and prepare you to be a well-rounded performer. That being said, we will work on repertory from classical to musical theatre, jazz, or pop if you so desire. You are encouraged to bring in pieces that will compliment what we are covering in lessons. We will also learn music theory and work on music reading skills, as literacy is very important for your growth as an artist.

Voice

In voice, we will begin with the basics: posture, breathing, relaxation, and healthy use of your instrument. How you sing is just as important as what you sing. You will learn warm-ups and practice techniques, and about vocal placement and projection. For my advanced vocal students, we will work on diction, interpretation, character development, audition books and advanced music theory. We will work on audition materials and making strong 16 or 32-bar cuts that really sell you as a performer.

Tuition: $30/ weekly half-hour lesson (Billed Monthly)
