About Desiree

Private voice instruction and music/theory tutoring for singers and instrumentalists! In addition to my private studio, The Song-Heart Connection, I have held faculty positions at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Rider University, University of New Mexico, University of the Arts and more. I adore working with children, teens and young adults of any level. I also have a certification in grief counseling, which makes me a patient, attuned, present instructor, offering safety and a lesson plan catered to the individuality of each person. I'd describe my personality as playful, patient and attuned. I started teaching and tutoring when I was in high school, 2002. In my spare time, I like to hike, explore, kayak, go to concerts and shows, markets, travel, bake, read, walk and enjoy the beach. I also LOVE Italy and the Italian language. My skills include inviting curiosity, instilling confidence and creating a peaceful and playful environment.
