I really enjoyed our lessons together. You are a very nice teacher and you helped me be able to sing more confidently without getting shy. You helped me improve my range in singing. I think any student will feel very comfortable being taught by you.” -Alba B.

Vanessa teaches each student on an individual basis based on their needs. Her vocal teaching technique starts with a strong foundation, focusing on breath, projection, pitch, musicality, and helping each student find their best vocal quality, all of which is then applied to singing any genre of their choosing. She uses this technique as a stable base for singing classical, musical theatre/Broadway, jazz/American standards, pop, rock, country, and any other kind of music. Vanessa’s piano lessons begin with learning to read music, playing correct pitches and rhythms, learning how to sight-read, and studying music theory.

“I have been taking lessons with Vanessa for a while and the results were outstanding. As someone who has been through many vocal teachers, Vanessa really sets herself apart from other teachers - she is extremely knowledgeable, provides autonomy in selecting music you love and continues to find new ways to encourage her students to learn music muscle memory. Most of all she is very patient! She helped me to achieve the opportunity of auditioning to perform at Kennedy Center. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wishes to do vocal lessons!” -Mila N.

“Vanessa stands out as a very kind, sincere and dedicated teacher. My daughter is shy. She helped her immediately with encouragement and pushed her to sing tough songs. She sings a lot. And I can see gets better each day and some songs she sings particularly well. It is a pleasure to hear her. I can see how well she sings now and loves it. Vanessa was the one who started her on this journey and will always be special.” -Lubina Q.
