I'm an opera singer with several years of teaching experience and I want to help you reach your goals! I hold a Master of Music degree in Classical Vocal Performance and a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education. I love teaching and sharing the joy that music has brought to my life!

The majority of my students are complete beginners and have learned to read music, learned to produce consistent and healthy sounds, and have found confidence that has transferred to their everyday life. If you're not a beginner and have some relevant musical experience that you would like to build on, I am happy to help you assess you abilities and build on your previous knowledge to reach the next level.

Are you preparing for an audition? Enjoy singing for fun and interested in improving your vocal technique? No matter what style you enjoy singing - classical/opera to musical theater to pop and beyond - all voice lessons are focused on helping you reach your singing goals with a healthy vocal technique. Voice students have access to a free Student Portal where they can access resources for practicing and learning music at home, including practice tracks and vocal exercises.

Piano is the quintessential beginner instrument. Do you want to help your child refine their fine motor skills and learn the discipline that comes with musical training while building self-esteem? Or are you are an adult who has always wanted to learn how to play the piano but never found the time? Weekly piano lessons are a fantastic first step towards mastering this wonderful instrument!

I'm always happy to answer any questions. Don't hesitate to reach out or schedule a lesson!

I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education and have 5 years of experience teaching beginner lessons. I regularly accompany my voice students at the piano.

Sight Singing

Are you a new singer learning to read music for the first time, or a seasoned choral musician ready to upgrade your confidence and accuracy? I can help! My method emphasizes learning to read music notation, and sight singing with the help of solfege syllables, Curwen hand signs and audiation techniques. I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education.

I hold a Master of Music degree in Classical Vocal Performance and have taken classes in vocal pedagogy. I have 3 years of experience teaching private voice lessons. My own performance experiences include singing in professional choral ensembles, operas, and recitals.

The Greatest Experience, the most Knowledgeable & Fun

Elizabeth saved me in my intro to music theory college level course. She’s easily accessible, extremely kind, and very passionate about what she teaches. Quite literally the best instructor ever, always had a great time and enjoyed learning.

Faye, 11 lessons with Elizabeth

Best voice teacher

She was so helpful in showing me im not Tone deaf. She helped me so much in my first lesson and actually listened to me instead of just telling me what I did wrong!

Aj, 2 lessons with Elizabeth

Fantastic Tutor

Elizabeth was an excellent tutor! She was kind, patient, and improved my ability of rhythm and sight singing very fast. I would definitely recommend her for anyone and am very thankful for her help. Overall, Elizabeth kept the lessons timely and was very reasonable with timing. She also was very friendly and fun to get along with. Would absolutely recommend as a tutor.

Thorough, Kind, Patient, Wonderful

Elizabeth has been a huge asset to my performance skillset. I am learning so much with her about my voice and how to create the best, easiest, most pleasant sound. I am also getting a wonderful education in sight singing. She is great and kind and cares a lot about her students. Lucky to be one of them.

Very supportive tutor

Elizabeth is a very supportive tutor, which is important for me because I have stage anxiety. She gave me specific recommendations on how to be a more confident singer. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Larisa, 27 lessons with Elizabeth

Friendly and knowledgeable

I needed a tutor for music theory and she was able to break down the basics of part writing, theory and analysis at my own pace which is something I really appreciate in a mentor.

Kangsan, 25 lessons with Elizabeth

Very Suprising

Elizabeth is truly amazing. She is very enthusiastic and encouraging. She's great at measuring out the time needed for the lessons and gives helpful tips and practice materials for the following week. She also is very quick to respond! This is going to be my 3rd lesson with her and my sightseeing has already improved drastically. I'm excited to keep working with her and would recommend others to do the same.
