Jeremiah M., Voice Teacher, Westchester County
(914) 380-3116
About Me:
I believe that studying voice or piano begins a lifetime filled with music and an appreciation of the arts that shape our lives and culture. Music transcends personal, political, and social boundaries and connects people who perform, hear and experience its effects. Studying music should be one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences in someone's life. It should be both fun and academic, challenging and freeing. Music and those who study it should know joy beyond all measure.

Major Influences:
I believe good singing is healthy and natural, free for the body and the voice. I teach music of all styles, genres and periods. I believe that a well-rounded singer is best suited for singing the rest of their life. Having a background that ranges from opera to gospel, pop to folk and everything in between influences me as a professional singer and gives me the background to be an effective teacher for a variety of students. Being a professional singer in both many settings, I understand that performance is paramount and a singer of any type of genre needs a solid performance technique.

Vibrato adds richness to the tone. Faster vibratos are possible without perceived "damage" to the note as the frequency of the note increases; slow vibrato is necessary for low frequencies in order to allow the full waveform to propagate before altering its frequency.
