About

I teach Professional and Semi-Professional Broadway and Cabaret Singers, as well as Professional and Semi-Professional Opera Singers. I prefer to teach in masterclass style, because ANY of my singers will attest to how much better and deeper they learn technique this way. My classes are either 2 or 3 hours long, depending on the class. Come audit a class for free and see for yourself!

I am in NYC on Mondays and Thursdays only because I have two other studios, in New Jersey.

I'm an international opera singer who has stood and sung on real world stages, not only with teachers in a studio. I teach because I love it and because I succeeded in one of the toughest businesses on earth, I want others to succeed! I have so much real life experience to impart. I started out singing in Musical Theater and worked as a Cabaret singer in NYC for many years when I when I was much younger.

    I’ve been a student with Alison for the past 9yrs. She has a truly unique way of teaching vocal technique by opening your body and letting go of your mind. Music has the power to heal and this is a true representation of it. She has gotten me through 2 horrible bouts of laryngitis and a vocal change, never giving up that my voice would come Back and stronger. She is a pusher with Flair and compassion.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Alisons teaching to everyone! It doesnt matter if you are a beginner or a professional, she works wonders with connecting your sound with your body and brings out your entire voice. As a music teacher, I take a lot of her techniques and apply them in my music classes with my middle school singers, proper technique is so important, especially with young singers.

    Frequently asked questions

    This technique will have you using your whole body to sing, like an athlete. Your emotions will be right in the sound because you're using your body and not your throat to produce and support the sound. I teach in masterclasses which gets every singer over their nerves quickly and easily. Singers will be taught a hands-on approach in order to either help the person singing, or to learn a skill from the person singing. Believe it or not, we don't learn to sing with our ears, we learn to sing with our eyes and by understanding how different muscles move to support the voice.
    I am a professional opera singer for 36 years and have performed on some of the greatest world stages, most recently at Carnegie Hall, three consecutive years, and The Dallas Opera.
    My classes are $90 and are 3 hours long. Masterclasses teach technique at lightning speed and the technique imprints on each singer's body beautifully this way. I also teach private lessons for $175 for 75 minutes. I save private lessons for my professional students.
    I never thought I would teach and at least thought I would wait until I retired from performing. However, I have so much information from the many teachers I've worked with, that I feel an obligation to share what I know. I absolutely love teaching - almost as much as performing!
    In my NJ studios I teach all genres of singing; however in NYC work only with Opera singers and established Broadway/Cabaret singers.
    I am fond of the day I recently heard that all three of my graduating high school seniors got into the colleges of their dreams, all with vocal performance scholarships!
    Look for a teacher whose work really resonates with you and for someone who is being of service to YOU, not someone you feel you have to please.
    What are my goals and how can I communicate them to a teacher?
