Why voice lessons?
It's hard to pick the favorite part of my musical life, but helping singers become even better has to be high on the list. It is so much fun to watch the development of my students each week and when one of them must miss a lesson, I really feel as if my week is less satisfying. Read on, please, to learn more about this very special part of my life.
Do you like to sing? Maybe you're already a singer or maybe you're one of those people who sings in the shower or sings along with the car radio as you drive along. No matter what your current singing level or ability, if you like to sing and if you want to improve your vocal abilities, I can help. Even if you've been told you "can't" or "shouldn't" sing, don't believe it! I've only met a handful of "tone deaf" people in my life. Most people classified as "tone deaf" are really what I call "tone ignorant;" they just don't know how to reproduce what they hear. I offer a comprehensive approach to understanding the connection between the ears, the brain, and the voice. I won't guarantee to make you a star, but I can help you "Discover The Singer Within You" and give you the satisfaction of enjoying your singing experiences.

I started studying voice in Akron, Ohio in my early teens, both privately and at university. I began teaching voice over 30 years ago, while working with the singers in choirs I conducted and coached. Most recently, I worked as a professional choir coach through SingIsrael and offered private voice lessons at my home studio in Ra'anana. Now I am now back teaching in Ohio, and have online students in New York, Florida, San Francisco, Israel, Abu Dhabi, and Australia. Please see my phone number and email adress, on my Home page, and contact me to set up a time for your free evaluation lesson.
As noted above, when I was living in Israel I had a number of students from abroad who studied with me when they were also visiting, working, and living in Israel. I am honored that many of them have continued working with me, even though we are, in some cases, oceans apart. To facilitate this, I offer voice lessons over the internet using Zoom or Whatsapp video calling. So, no matter where you live, you can now study with me.
