LESSON DETAILS

Real music for real people! You get to choose your repertoire. We suggest exercises and technical training, but we tailor the session to suit your needs.

 

Audition/performance preparation (American Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, school productions, community theater, etc.) We can work on acting, movement and choreography for your audition as well as sound.

 

Record a CD of your music!

 

Celeste is an accomplished pianist at the academy who can accompany a singer in any key. We can also record your piano accompaniment for auditions or performances.

 

We can show you how to accompany yourself on piano and guitar!

 

Pianists! Guitarists! We would like to show you how to play popular music by ear or lead sheets. It's quick and easy! And you get to play exactly what you want. Play with other musicians, guitarists, singers, saxophonists etc. Sound like a pro, not stiff like a beginner!

 

Learn to read music. Learn important technical skills. But don't be chained to the notation! Sound better than what's written! We can play a lot more notes than we can read or write -- a lot faster!

 

At the Academy we produce music, teach voice lessons, music theory, song writing, piano, and more, all through private, one-on-one lessons. We can help you with all of these things. Music theory; arranging for piano and voice, small combos or recording sessions; songwriting and music composition are topics we can work on if you choose.

 

We love working with children. They are so cute! They benefit from working with a real pro musician who is accomplished, yet loves working with kids!

 

We enjoy working with adults, too. We are able to help them with their music careers or just play/sing music they love for their own enjoyment.

 

We work with beginners up to very advanced. It would be our privilege to work with you through all stages of your artistic development!
