Sara uses the latest vocal science information to help guide her students to develop healthy vocal technique.
The voice is a holistic instrument that harnesses the mind and body to create sounds that can be used to express emotions through music.
In order to for students to sound like themselves, I offer an encouraging space to explore and make mistakes in order to learn on how to make smart musical choices.
VOICE
A singer is more powerful with a working knowledge of music.
In lessons we will work to understand how to communicate with instrumentalists and navigate
This involves ear training, sight reading, and music theory. Depending on the students’ goals, we work together to develop musicianship in tandem with a confident singing voice!
KNOWLEDGE
what people are saying
I’ve been singing and vocal training for over 20 years now—Sara’s coaching style and vocal techniques are so far ahead anything I’ve experienced! Her wealth of knowledge and experience provide an invaluable container to strengthen and grow as a singer. And her unique abilities will help you grow confidence in your unique voice.
— Mercy, studentSara is a phenomenal voice coach. I came to her with ambitious goals for a couple of months of training and she has helped me train a stronger head voice, more agility, much stronger breath support, and better resonance. The reason she is so effective is because she has a bunch of different cues and exercises to help me find the right placement. If I don’t respond to one, she immediately has another, until we find one that works for me. So far, the most effective cues for me are imagining a unicorn horn growing out of my forehead and a specific exercise with a straw in water. I really like Sara’s focus on building a good solid foundation and healthy habits. I noticeably improve after every single lesson. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s also so fun to work with and has a very cute dog.
— Grace, student“Sara is a highly knowledgeable, encouraging, and positive teacher. Voice can be a very vulnerable instrument, but she creates a safe environment where you can make mistakes and improve from them. She thoughtfully builds each lesson around what will help me improve while also focusing on the areas I personally want to develop. With her guidance, I’ve started to unlock parts of my voice that I didn’t think were possible before.”

Do I need experience to take voice lessons?
1
Not at all. I teach singers ages 13 and up at every level, from first-time beginners to working professionals. We start where you are and build healthy technique from there.
Where are your lessons held?
2
In-person lessons take place at my private studio in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, [a short walk from Atlantic Terminal / near the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, Q, and R trains].
I also teach virtually, so you can study with me from anywhere in the world.
Do online voice lessons actually work?
3
Yes. With a good setup, we can work on breath, tone, range, and performance just as effectively as in person. Many of my students prefer the convenience, and it lets me teach singers outside Brooklyn and NYC.
Can you help me prepare for a gig, open mic, or audition?
4
Yes. We'll choose repertoire that suits your voice, shape your arrangements, talk through soundcheck, and work on communicating with the band and the audience.
