About Venice School of Music

Venice School of Music (formerly Los Angeles Vocal Studio) is an intimate music studio that began out of my home twenty years ago. In 2021, I was able to move into a brick and mortar studio location (across from the Venice Whole Foods -nestled between the border of Santa Monica and Mar Vista ). Current musical offerings include piano, voice and songwriting lessons for all ages & styles.

Vocal Coach

As a vocal coach and voice teacher, I work with such issues as:

Improved technique such as agility, dexterity and your ability to project (sing louder)
Musicianship including pitch improvement, sight reading & riffs
Performance anxiety in shows, fear of singing in front of others
Audition Techniques such as performing with accompanist, Arranging your set, Repertoire and Preparation
Range and discovery of your full vocal instruments, including selecting the best key signature
Methods for tension release in order to sing with ease and freedom of tone
Storytelling and musical Expression

Piano Teacher

Learn to play songs on piano quickly -rather than spend months on music you don't want to learn
Analyze music in a method that makes it easy to remember
Recognize notes and their relationship to the piano with the goal of playing by ear
For those interested in reading music and classic techniques, secure the foundation and necessary practice routines

Songwriting Classes

Explore methods for writing melodies without musical instrument ability
Strengthen visual imagery and storytelling in lyrics
Understand ways to come up with chord progressions
Analyze styles of song that you enjoy and create songs in your desired styles
Write songs that fit the range of your voice and emphasize your strengths

Teaching Mission Statement

My studio goal is to provide lessons for all walks of life with an openness to all styles of music, voice types and genres. I especially emphasize recreational music study for adults who may have lost touch with their musical spirit. I also believe you don't have to be a singer to take voice lessons. Our voices are our main tool of expression & singing lessons will teach you to open up your voice and enhance your ability to communicate.
