Since 2009, I've worked with hundreds of beginner/intermediate singers of all ages and from all walks of life with a focus on general development and exploration of the voice and contemporary styles such as rock/pop/r&b/jazz/blues/country/indie/electronic/folk/goth, etc. I am an encouraging, supportive teacher here to give you honest feedback in order to empower you to achieve your voice goals. And I am an active vocalist/multi-instrumentalist songwriter, performer, and recording artist with over 20 years of experience - not just an academic!

Developing your voice offers an excellent and fun opportunity for personal growth, which manifests itself through increased confidence and freedom of creative expression.

My real-world experience in music has been rooted in and augmented by a firm foundation in academic learning. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in 1999. Since then, I have independently pursued increased knowledge through attending numerous seminars and conferences in the field of voice, as well as earning the New York Singing Teachers' Association's "Distinguished Voice Professional" certificate in 2016. I am a past member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and the New York Singing Teachers' Association.

Detail oriented and passionate

Ajda showed me breathing and relaxation techniques, among other things, which I feel helped immensely. Ajda is very organized and a focused, patient teacher. I can't wait for my next lesson.

So Helpful!

Ajda is helping me overcome my extreme fear of singing. She’s so kind and patient and explains exactly why we do different exercises. I had no idea! With her help I think I can make some progress.

Structured to my needs and wants

Ajda is geared to details based on what I want to learn. I'm delighted with how much music is easier to understand. My love for music expands with each lesson. Thank you, Ajda.

Great first session

I enjoyed getting back to working on my voice with Ajda. She is very knowledgeable and has a clear methodology with helpful exercises. I hope to be able to continue my vocal journey with Ajda's assistance.

My son gave great feed back after just the first session

Ajda was attentive to my sons needs and made him feel confident in a short amount of time. She touched on various rips which could be used during and after lesson. We will be taking more lessons asap.

Great Warmups

I'm reviewing my first lesson with Ajda. We covered proper posture and breathing. We did a bunch of pre-singing stretches and massages to get everything loose. It was basically a yoga lesson. At the end, we covered two warm ups. Adja is very knowledgeable.

Tutor responded:

So glad you enjoyed learning about how to prepare the body/instrument for our sport of singing! Any teacher who does not acknowledge and address patterns of tension is doing you a disservice and neglecting one of the biggest and most obvious obstacles to singing well. Before we can open ourselves up for our listener, we singers must dispel physical tension, and usher in relaxation. Hope those handouts of our voice anatomy and physiology are helpful, too!
