“Vanessa just makes sense. She gently delivers every correction with such clarity that it is easy to grasp. Her lessons are well-balanced with useful and effective vocalizes, incorporated acting exercises, as well as song-coaching. Vanessa is a very safe person to be with and I always leave each session feeling uplifted and challenged.”

Teaching A member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS), Vanessa began giving voice lessons to fellow performers in 1998. In 2000, she expanded to include piano lessons and opened The June Studio in her Long Beach, CA home, later relocating to South Orange, NJ. Hundreds of students, children and adults, have worked in the studio since then, some going on to earn music degrees from distinguished performing schools like UC Irvine, Eastman and Manhattan School Of Music. Vanessa has coached Broadway veterans and successful recording artists, as well as younger singers who have proceeded to land roles in both student and professional productions. Piano students have worked their way through the method books, many using the musicianship skills acquired in their piano studies to expand to other instruments like upright bass, percussion, and violin. Training Piano: Vanessa began her piano training at the age of ten in San Francisco. By eleven, she was singled out to accompany her middle school choir on piano. Vanessa has been involved in piano work for children’s programs as an accompanist and musical director ever since.   Voice: Vanessa began formal voice training as a teenager, and earned a BA in Music (Vocal Performance) from UCLA. During more than 20 years of private voice lessons, Vanessa has studied classical technique and theater/pop/jazz styles with a host of wonderful teachers, most recently Dr. Bruce Kolb and Aaron Hagan, with whom she currently studies in Manhattan.   Acting: With the intent of marrying technical singing with the technique of acting, Vanessa completed a MFA in Acting at Brooklyn College in 2005. Vanessa has also studied acting at South Coast Repertory, and in workshops with Olympia Dukakis, Jimmy Smits, and Carole D’Andrea (original Broadway casts of West Side Story and Gypsy).  http://www.marqueefive.comhttp://tinyurl.com/8TrackiTuneshttp://www.midtowndirectrep.org/Home.htmlshapeimage_6_link_0shapeimage_6_link_1shapeimage_6_link_2
