Fay M. , Voice Teacher , Long Island

Instruments: Voice,Piano
About Me:
As a music professional, I specialize in Voice (Contemporary Commercial Music) and in Piano (Classical). As a Vocologist, I also work with singers to correct vocal fold injuries. I am certified by the New York Singer Teacher's Association and the Somatic Voicework/ The LoVetri Method. In addition, I am a City/State Teacher Certified in Music (K-12) and a member of NYSTA, NATS, and MEANYC.
I believe that progressive teaching must employ constructive pedagogical strategies to foster meaningful musical experiences for students to build and to exhibit competence. My pedagogical model is comprised of a student-centered approach to produce attainable challenges and to affect affirmative changes that will physically, technically, and emotionally enrich each student's performance.
During instruction, I exercise scaffolding methods to facilitate the students' zone of proximal development and innovative questioning to augment students' cognitive thinking and critical thinking skills. The process of musical learning is purposeful when it is facilitated within a nurturing environment to motivate the students' intrinsic interests and that is my goal!

About the Voice
A vocal warm-up is usually required before the vocal cords are expected to perform at their full potential. Proper breathing technique is also a key factor in singing correctly.
