About

Lessons with me are student-centric, emphasizing classical foundation in all fields and placing strong emphasis on accommodating individual students' specific ambitions. Strong stage presence, deeper understanding of blending & breath support, and a sharper ear for intuitive learning are all skills you can expect to develop with me. Song motivated lesson plans, finding a way of having a good time, and making music in every lesson are tenets I hold near and dear.

Teaching is the most inspiring part of my daily life, and writing and creating is a cherished fulfillment and reflection of that joy. Nothing makes me happier than helping someone else realize their abilities to find the same connection within and with others.

    I absolutely love lessons with Marie. I have seen many coaches in my life and Marie is The Best The very Best! Marie teaches you in a way that you learn so much and progress a lot with her help and guidance. Marie helps you to become the singer you’ve always dreamed of becoming. Her knowledge is Absolutely Amazing and I can’t wait till my next lesson with her so that I can continue to learn more and more. Marie has and continues to help me so much. I highly one million percent recommend private lessons with Marie. Ty Marie for being So Awesome!!!!!!

    As a new student, I was nervous about taking lessons and singing in front of a stranger. But after the first few minutes of my first lesson with Marie, I felt completely at ease. She is super patient, understanding, and really helps you unlock your voice in ways you didnt think yourself capable of. If I could I would give Black Phantom Records 7 out of 5 stars.

    Frequently asked questions

    In a first lesson I like to spend a little time learning more about your musical background and what your short and long term goals are with music in general. From there we can decide what the best use of our time together will be.

    I was asked by a fellow student to tutor them in ear training and music theory.  It really helped her, and inspired me so...here we are (:

    I have taught and teach students of all ages, skill levels nad musical backgrounds!  My demographic tends to be song-focused, and typically interested in multiple instruments (i.e. voice & guitar, voice & piano, music production, songwriting, etc.)

    I recently had a 1.5h songwriting session with a client who was looking for help to work through a traumatic past event.  Together, we were able to finish lyrics in one setting and he immediately set up his next sesion for melody and harmony.

    Committment to long term growth cannot be overvalued.  I think people often give up sooner than they should and would be surprised at what can be accomplished with a little time and dedication!

    Think about what it is you love most about music as a listener, who you like to listen to and what genres - and what then, that might tell you about what you want to learn.  What inspires you is also a key in to what will bring you the most fulfillment.
