RESULTS THAT LAST
WHAT I OFFER
BEGINNERS SINGING LESSONS
As a graduate from a conservatory of music with a degree in vocal performance (specializing in opera and musical theatre) I have performed in many different venues since the age of 7. I know I can help new students find the confidence to improve their performing and vocal skills through fun lessons that focus on vocal health and improving their vocal abilities. I have been taking voice lessons since the age of 5 and know how to create a fun and welcoming environment that nurtures their love of music while gradually reaching goals that we set together as student and teacher. Even students as young as 5 can start to foster their musical skills and be introduced to the arts. My mission? To teach the student to sing comfortably and enjoyably while utilizing healthy technique and learning to “tell the story” of a song.

BEGINNING PIANO FOR KIDS -PIANO WITH PAULA
I know how difficult it can be to find a reliable teacher that focuses on Piano for Kids. Teachers need to be able to motivate and guide students towards success. As an experienced and passionate Piano Instructor, I believe in an approach that gives students positive, constructive ways to learn. I design my lessons according to my students’ needs, with an emphasis on confidence-boosting activities. We will work on an introduction to music, sight reading notes, musicianship skills, and learning fun songs to play for friends and family.

BEGINNERS ACTING LESSONS
I specialize in Beginners Acting Lessons and know how to reach my students with the right balance of personalized attention, patience, practical training, and positive encouragement. I make learning fun through a variety of engaging and outside-the-box activities and can help them explore their character for that upcoming audition, school play, or just getting started in the performing arts with monologues and fun acting games. I have been performing in theatrical productions since a very young age and know that acting also helps a student gain confidence and learn more about themselves. I have personally experienced this and love to help new students discover and explore the joy of acting and performing.

"Paula is excellent. Her ability to analyze and assess a singer’s vocal ability, range, their strengths, their weaknesses and offer a plan for corrective action and improvement is remarkable. I was honestly caught off guard as I listened to her coaching my three girls this afternoon. She knows her stuff and is technically en pointe. She is also calm, collective, efficient, effective, productive and able to work with children in a gentle yet professional manner with a positive approach. Thrilled to be working with her."
