About your music teacher
Hi, I'm Ani! I'm a three-time college graduate in music with over 35 years of experience teaching students from beginners to intermediate levels. My approach is holistic and personalized—covering everything from music theory and ear training to sight-singing, a bit of songwriting, performance skills, and what the industry is looking for. I teach a variety of instruments and voice, always tailoring each lesson to the individual goals and learning style of my students. My philosophy is simple: your dream becomes my dream. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow your musical skills, I’m here not just as your teacher, but as your cheerleader and support system. I believe in building confidence, nurturing creativity, and making music a joyful, rewarding journey. Let’s turn your musical goals into reality—one note at a time!

I specialize in working with high school students through adult learners, helping them discover and develop their unique musical voices—whether through voice, an instrument, or both. My strength lies in being able to tune into each student’s individual goals and vision, and then tailoring my teaching to match their specific needs, pace, and learning style. Every student is different, and I honor that. Some learn visually, others by ear, and some through hands-on experience—and I adapt accordingly. I bring a full toolbox of proven warm-ups, exercises, and structured lesson plans, but I also know when to improvise and create something fresh, on the spot, that resonates deeply with a student in the moment they need it most. My goal is to help students peel back the layers to reveal the "diamond" within—their natural talent, creativity, and potential. I guide them in accessing their abilities with greater ease and confidence, showing them that the brilliance they’re searching for is already inside them—just waiting to shine. Whether it’s developing solid technique, interpreting a piece, or unlocking emotional expression, I work as both mentor and cheerleader—always focused on helping each student reach their next level in a way that’s meaningful and achievable for them.
Music concept taught by Ani
The Tutor and Student worked on vocal range and diction, focusing on the song "Blazing Saddles." They practiced techniques to relax the vocal cords, open the throat, and improve breath control. The importance of proper spinal alignment was discussed for singing. The Student will continue practicing the song and the Tutor will check in on the Student's progress before the next lesson.
Open Throat Technique
Larynx Position and Pitch
Vocal Alignment: Head and Neck Posture
Internal Pipe Visualization for Vocal Vibration
Vocal Agility Runs (Melismas)
Addressing Sliding and Onset Issues
Arpeggios and Chordal Harmony
The session centered on vocal exercises to improve range, resonance, and breath control. The student worked on ascending scales, exploring different vocal placements and resonance techniques. The student also began working on song interpretation, and exercises for agility were introduced. The student reached a new high note of D and then E flat.

Agility and Vocal Runs
Animation and Interpretation
Pitch Matching and Intonation
Lightness and Air Pressure Control
Diaphragmatic Breathing and Support
Vocal Registers and Passages
The session focused on music theory, including scales, intervals, chord construction (major, minor, and seventh chords), and chord progressions. The Student learned about the relationships between notes and chords within a key and how to construct chords based on these relationships. The Tutor shared charts to aid visual understanding and suggested further practice with these concepts.

Low Center of Gravity for High Notes
The session focused on vocal techniques, including resonance, vocal register transitions, and operatic singing. The student practiced exercises to improve head voice placement and resonance, then applied these techniques to song performances. The tutor provided feedback on pronunciation, pitch accuracy, and breath control, with a future session planned for the following week.
