About this Service

Hello! My name is Sara, and I am a fellow Listings Project member and artist.

I am offering high-quality music lessons for students who wish to study voice, piano, guitar, or songwriting.

In-person lessons are offered in Chelsea on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Evening hours available!

Online lessons are offered Sundays via FaceTime or Google Meet.

Students will enjoy lessons with a supportive and caring teacher and will be encouraged to reach their full musical potential.

During lessons, students will learn theory, technique, sight reading, ear training, rhythm recognition, and other concepts that will form the foundation of excellent musicianship. Singers will additionally learn breathing techniques, postural support, and stage work.

For students who are taking lessons to improve their job performance in a related field, I offer an official receipt from my music education company which can be submitted for reimbursements.

Students who are getting ready to audition for the NYC performing arts high schools and middle schools are encouraged to reach out early regarding audition prep. It is important to start training in vocal technique and musicianship well ahead of the audition and take the time to find the right repertoire for your voice!

About this Lister

I am an award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. My performances have ranged from bluegrass venues in Montreal to New York’s Lincoln Center and the Library of Congress.

Performing solo and with bands and off-Broadway productions are some of my favorite ways of expressing myself musically. I have also been enjoying my foray into the world of YouTube music videos!

Background and Expertise

My studies include both classical and jazz training from schools as varied as Juilliard and the NYC Drummer’s Collective. I have over 15 years of experience teaching students to play and sing. I don’t discriminate against genres, and my students have played a wide a variety of music, from Bach to Romanian folk music to Rihanna, Jim Croce, Mozart, Steely Dan, and more.

Students of mine have gone on to professional performance careers, and have successfully passed auditions to enter the high school or college of their choice. Most importantly, my students have fun and get to work on their creativity and musicianship, and explore their artistic potential.

Please reach out for references and recommendations from current and past students!
