Music is fun. Music is soulful. Music is meaningful.
About Me
Hi! I’m Lucy.
I began music lessons before I could read, at age three. Throughout my childhood I sang, played piano, and composed music. I attended the University of Michigan and earned my BM in vocal performance, and then attended Bard College Conservatory for my MM, and moved to New York City to begin my professional career. I’ve received awards, been featured in the NYTimes, and have always shared my love of music with my students. I’ve been on faculty at Bard College Conservatory of Music in the Vocal Arts Program, as well as in their preparatory division, and taught for many years at Third Street Music School in private voice as well as music and movement.
My teaching philosophy is that music should be fun. But how often did I, as a child, dread my music lessons? It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right teacher, environment, and learning tools, music can be an incredible tool for creativity and expression, and always, always, a joyful activity.
My specialties of course are singing, song-writing, and music production (ie using a computer to record and/or create your own music), but I believe in a well-rounded musician who has a variety of skills: singing, piano/keyboards, improvisation, etc. I would be happy to consult with you about you or your child’s goals and interests, and develop a plan.
The student-teacher relationship is incredibly special. Music lessons and musical mentorships have been some of the most soulful relationships of my life, and I take my role as a teacher quite seriously. Music is a mysterious language—we only somewhat understand why we make music, why it touches us, and why we need it. Each one of us is drawn to music in a different way, and exploring how music speaks through us is a lifelong adventure.
