Instruments: Voice

About Me:
Music is about expression. I see vocal music as a kind of universal language which brings everyone together. Individually, we all express these emotions in our own unique way. Using the bel-canto technique and utilizing a students own sense of creativity, it brings me great joy to work with a student and watch him/her grow not only as a singer, but as an artist. We each have within us a tremendous capacity to feel, to emote, and to use our diverse backgrounds and life experiences through song.

Aside from the fact that Marissa is an amazing singer and is extremely knowledgeable in vocal technique and performance with a great sense of professionalism, Marissa is your devoted spectator and supporter. That's what made working with Marissa truly unforgettable for me personally. I came to Marissa just to get some coaching on my technique, and now I do musicals, VOs, commercials and film. None of this would happen if it weren't for Marissa's expertise, guidance and support. But make no mistake! If you're considering Marissa to be your vocal coach, PREPARE TO WORK AND GET BETTER!!!

Good luck to all
Alex

Marissa is a superb voice teacher. She not only has an excellent background for voice training, but more importantly she is also able to impart her deep knowledge of vocal techniques in a very clear and very supportive way. Marissa expertly identifies the best way for her students to achieve an optimal level of vocal performance and she is able to guide her students efficiently and personably. I have greatly enjoyed Marissa's lessons and I feel that I have learned a great deal from Marissa about effective voice training.

Fantastic coach - December 1, 2009
Reviewer: JOAN - FOREST HILLS, NY

When I started lessons with Marissa in March 09 I had never taken vocal lessons or even sung in the presence of another human being. I was nervous going to my first session not knowing what to expect; but I was immediately comforted by Marissa's warm personality. She's really helped me step out of my boundaries and explore vocal ranges I never thought that I could reach. The potential that I see in myself has skyrocketed since the beginning of the year. I know I have improved greatly with her help and there is still so much I want/need to learn and I will continue to take lessons with Marissa. She is always there if you have questions or need extra guidance. I would highly recommend Marissa.

I have learned so much from Marissa. Not only is she an amazing singer, but she has helped me to become the best singer I can be. I am singing songs now that I once only dreamed of singing. She has helped be to become a very well rounded performer and has increased my confidence by 100! I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking to improve their voice and enjoy doing it in the process!

Taking voice lessons from Marissa has been an amazing experience from day one. Not only is she exceptionally talented, she teaches in a way that's easily accessible to students. I hadn't realized how much hard work goes into singing - but that's where Marissa has a gift - she makes it a lot of fun, and I consider myself lucky to have her as my teacher!
