Vocals Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Simi Valley, CA

Lessons will center around developing a rich, flexible, and even vocal apparatus through the utilization of Western European classical singing techniques. I am a passionate, optimistic, and empowering teacher (okay, maybe a little goofy too). I hope to rid students of self defeating thought processes and unproductive/unfounded personal critique. Students will learn to listen to music and themselves with sharp ears and an open mind, skills that will transfer over into their own professional work environment. My teaching style is custom made for each individual student. There are many ways for a student to wrap their mind around the more challenging and obscure facets of optimal singing, and it is my job to find the clearest path. The study of singing is full of challenging paradoxes: "lower the larynx, but don't depress it", "keep on the voice, but don't push it", "cover the sound, bu

I am a visual learner who is aware of my space; I transfer this style in my teaching methods to create a specific pattern of learning designed to both stimulate thinking patterns and generate results. With students on the spectrum or learning disorders I employ visual aids and the PECS system which helps focus and strengthen specific skill-sets. In tandem with challenging, I believe learning should be fun. Counting games and math exercises have proven informative while maximizing learning potential and outcome measures. Concurrent with my course of study at California State University, Northridge, I worked as a teacher's aid and behavioralist at The Los Angeles Unified School District (Roscomare Road Elementary, Kennedy High School, Nobel Middle School and Colfax Elementary). During my tenure in these institutions, I experienced hands-on training both in the classroom and privately a

I enjoy teaching children and helping them to reach their academic goals because all young people have the capacity to learn. My style is patient and steadfast, with an encouraging yet focused pace. The idea is to help the student discover and come to the answer on their own. I like to help them illuminate their own ideas, and then help to guide and shape them. I don't believe that any child is limited by their background or socio-economic status; every child can live up to their full potential if they're intellectually stimulated, supported and given the proper environment. I love seeing the light in a student's eyes when they "get it." I'm dedicated to the educational excellence of every student I work with. I come from a family that values education, and I've always used that to fuel my thirst for learning. An avid writer and reader, I earned my Bachelor's in Journalism, which I've a

Science is the quantitative and qualitative analysis of all things in the universe. Therefore, I teach utilizing practical activity based methods. Students will ultimately be able to parallel and apply their lessons to everyday life experiences. Upon completion of my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from CSU Dominguez Hills I spent 10 years working for TRW and then Northrop Grumman Space and Technology sector. As a result of this experience I approach science and mathmatics from a very practical application driven perspective.
