Nicki
Certified Tutor
I have been both a voice teacher and music therapist since 1980, and believe that singing is healthy for us emotionally, physically, and spiritually! I have a PhD in Music Education/Therapy, an MA in Vocal Performance, and have taught students at all levels, from beginners to graduate university vocal majors. My teaching credo is that anyone can benefit from singing. People may think they cannot sing because others have told them that. In most cases, by working on students' listening, musical, or motor skills, they can find their natural voice! I can also teach music theory, music history, music fundamentals, world music, and music and wellness.
Although my academic achievements are in music, my Jewish faith and studies are equally as essential to me, and I am glad to share my knowledge of Judaism and Biblical Hebrew with you.

I love to sing, and I play the piano, guitar, accordion and ukulele for accompaniment. Around the house, I enjoy drinking tea, cuddling with my cats, and listening to my pet finches hop and beep. I grow African violets because they are so very unique, just like my students!
