About

[4.99 rating over 110 reviews from another lesson platform] "It’s not just about creativity; it’s about who you become in the process." This quote captures my teaching philosophy. My mission is to build students’ artistic confidence, develop their skills, and foster a love for art that nurtures integrity and character.

With a background in voice and acting from The Newark School of the Arts and The Children’s Theater Workshop, I began performing at four and directing choirs as a teen. My career has taken me across the U.S. and abroad, including leading roles in China and with Carnival Cruise Lines. Now, as the CEO of 2-4-1 Entertainment and the Contemporary School of the Arts, I continue to perform and teach, blending my experience with a passion for nurturing well-rounded, independent artists.

Lesson Details:

  • Fun, challenging, and enriching sessions for voice and beginner piano
  • Vocal techniques including breathing, pitch, and posture
  • Piano fundamentals like music theory, hand coordination, and simple pieces
  • Personalized music selection and lyrical interpretation
  • Professional backing tracks and performance practice
  • Emphasis on vocal and piano health and building confidence

My goal is to guide students beyond the classroom, helping them shine as polished performers ready to take the stage.

I reviewed many teachers over days before I chose Christine as my piano teacher. After watching many videos and reading testimonials, she was the obvious choice. Playing piano had been a lifelong dream since I was a child and I thought playing at this point in my life would be very difficult. Christine is not only patient and a very good teacher, she is a great person. We enjoyed many lessons together and I learned a lot (more than I thought I would). She remains my first choice. When I am able to return to my lessons, she will be the only choice. Thank you Christine. I miss you already.

Ms Christine really is called to teach. I can say this, based on my experience with her. She has several unique teaching qualities. For example, she is an expert at breaking singing concepts down so that they are easliy understood and more importantly, easily applicable in practical terms. I have experienced a lot of 'a ha moments' with her. She has helped me understand the technicality of my voice better. I know how to use my voice better, how to control my breath, how to apply my breath in singing to get the sound I want, and so many other things.

I brought my child who is currently 10 years old to strengthen her singing voice about a year ago. Within a very short span of time, my daughter developed a stronger singing voice and vocal range. She has good diction and more importantly she has CONFIDENCE. This may sound odd, but lessons with Ms. Christine has helped my child deal with bullying at school. She now believes in herself and not afraid to sing and let her voice be heard. I'm so proud of my child and can't thank Ms. Christine enough for believing in my daughter. Thanks a million :)

This was my first vocal training ever, and I am so glad I had Christine for an instructor! As soon as I signed up, Christine called me, introduced herself, asked me questions regarding my experience in singing, goals, and discussed other areas concerning the training. I lacked confidence in singing, especially singing in front of others. I was also experiencing vocal fatigue and hoarseness due to incorrect singing and inadequate breath support. Christine educated me on my vocal anatomy (which is very important for signers) and went out of her way to give me additional diagrams and aids to assist my developing strong, correct, vocal techniques. She has an incredible, can do, personality that I needed and made me so comfortable. She is passionate about training students. She has a great ear for tone and pitch, and her style of teaching is built around being patient, positive, and other attributes that make learning fun. Christine is determined to help you meet or exceed your goals. I am so grateful that I met Christine!

I have had not less than 10 voice coaches over a period of 15 years and not one single one of them is as thorough as Christine. I had my first lesson today and what impressed me the most is that she's started me how to apply vocal exercises to an actual song. She is also a fantastic communicator who is very good at breaking down complex concepts. She is very humble ....a trait thats hard to find these days. I enjoyed the lesson and she made me feel at ease. She really does know her stuff . I learned a lot today ... She really is a gifted teacher.

From the first day I signed up with Ms. Christine, she called me and started asking me questions about my musical goals. All the music classes/lessons I've taken, no one has ever asked me what was important to me musically speaking. I knew from the initial conversation, there was some "special" about this teacher. It wasn't just the subject of music but Ms. Christine's passion to give and share the gift of music. She explained her music course and her expectations of me as a student. I was given my 1st assignment before we even got started working together face to face. This woman takes her craft very serious and I highly recommend Ms. Christine to any serious singer.

I love my lessons with Ms. Christine! I always wanted to be a "better karaoke singer," but I never thought voice lessons were for people like myself. I was under the impression that only "serious singers" could take voice lessons. Until I faced my fears, sent Christine an email and asked if she would be willing to show me a few things about singing. She was so warm, and welcoming I just had to meet such a nice woman. I realized, this was all in my head....my lessons not only taught me about music but it taught me how to love "all" of me including my voice.

Christine is so patient and understanding. She really made me feel comfortable and gave me a lot of vocal techniques as I pursue my singing career. I really wish I had met her sooner in my career. She is truly blessed with a talent!

Christine is a wonderful Instructor who went above and beyond expectations to ensure that i was grasping the information as it was explained to me. Her manner and drive is very engaging and i found it helped me build my confidence and develop a greater appreciation for music performance. She knows her stuff and so much more. Try her. You will be glad you did. She is the best. And by the way, she sings like a bird.

She listens to your goals, gets to know exactly what you need and devises an approach that gets you in your way. I really enjoy that she is in touch with popular music and understands the business. DidnInmention she can SING??!!! Omg...My only complaint is that I didn’t study with her years ago!!!!

Teaching Style

My teaching style is supportive, personalized, and hands-on. I create a fun and challenging environment for both vocal and beginner piano students, where they feel comfortable exploring their artistic potential. Lessons are tailored to each student’s unique needs and goals, blending technical instruction with creative expression. I encourage curiosity, questions, and making mistakes as part of the learning process. My approach builds confidence, fosters independence, and inspires a lifelong love for music and performance.

Curriculum

My teaching method blends practical techniques with creative exploration for both voice and beginner piano. I emphasize:

  • Voice: Breathing, pitch, posture, and vocal health
  • Piano: Music theory, hand coordination, and foundational pieces
  • Performance Practice: Using professional backing tracks and engaging in live performances
  • Personalization: Tailoring lessons to each student's unique needs and goals

My approach aims to build technical skills, foster artistic growth, and boost confidence, ensuring a well-rounded and enjoyable learning experience.
