"Hi there! My name is Moriah, and I have been teaching private voice and piano lessons for 6 years. I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelors of Arts in Music, emphasis in Music Industry Studies, including voice and performance training. I have studied with/been coached by Martin Green from Citrus College, Dr. Susan Ali and Kendra Vuk from Cal Poly Pomona, and Aretha Scruggs.

I specialize in singing commercial styles such as pop and rock, and growing your confidence in your unique vocal performance. My approach to all commercial vocal practice is derived from classical traditions, mainly from the Swedish-Italian school of vocal production. While that may sound daunting, I assure you I teach these concepts in a thoroughly accessible manner. No matter your skill level, age, or background, you will receive a solid foundation in theory and technical skill through our lessons. In addition to voice, I also teach all levels of piano! If you're interested in playing this incredibly versatile instrument, I will gladly help you develop your talent. My piano instruction style is based on how you learn as a student. I have taught by the book, by ear, and by example. Whichever your learning style, I have the skills to accommodate you.

My ultimate aim for every student is a deepened enjoyment and appreciation for musical expression. This means I am committed to helping you understand and skillfully apply music theory and ear training to the performance of your instrument. In addition to helping you strengthen your technique and prowess in voice and piano, I will teach you how to maintain your progress and prime yourself for continuous growth.

You will never feel judged or put down in your lessons with me. I make it my mission to foster an environment of encouragement, self-esteem, and fun. However, like a personal trainer, I will hold you accountable, because I want to see you excel and stand out in your musical endeavors. I want you to thrive as a musician. I look forward to our first session together!" less...
