Kate G., Voice Teacher, Queens
(718) 608-6080
About Me:
I believe that singing is a form of storytelling first and foremost. Students who can tell a story can entertain by singing with or without great technique. Great technique leads to prolonged vocal life.
I enjoy teaching singing because it is a confidence building activity at any age, and something that can be done anywhere, by anyone.

Singing is considered by some to have positive effects on peoples' health. A preliminary study based on self-reported data from a survey of students participating in choral singing found perceived physical benefits including increased lung capacity, improved mood, stress reduction, as well as perceived social and spiritual benefits.
