Keren Gaiser isn't just a music teacher. She is a friend of mine now that when I first joined her classes worked with me in an approachable and kind way to impart impeccably useful wisdom. There is so much that this person can teach you that never stops being useful to a singer, and if singing is something important in your life, then she can unlock a whole new world to you. She encouraged me to take the reigns in my pursuit of music, and I can't thank her enough as I enter my senior year of college after her lessons! If you can't decide on a teacher, know that you've found a SHINING gem of a teacher right here that will work with you at any level in your journey!
I have worked with Keren for 5 years and her skill at vocal instruction is unmatched. The amount of encouragement and positive energy that she brings to her lessons is wonderful. She makes the work fun and enjoyable. I am very shy about singing. Yet, Keren brings the right amount of encouragement with balanced patience to get even the shyest out doing the exercises.
Be prepared to work though as Keren is approaching vocal lessons the right way by training the student the right way so that students are developing their vocal instrument for long term sustainable use. She focuses on difficult but important core exercises, warm-ups, and ear training. It is important for her that her students don't develop bad habits and understand that the voice is a muscle that needs to be worked the right way.
Overall, I cannot recommend Keren enough. It really is her passion for vocals that makes this a fun way to train. The work is challenging, as it should be, but Keren's passion and positive energy make the training enjoyable and fun. I have to say that I am so thankful for the instruction and I am so much more confident of my voice after the time I've spent with Keren.
Keren worked with my daughter over a year starting at the age of 6. Keren's ability to understand my daughter's motivations and learning style proved unprecedented. My daughter always looked forward to her lessons. Keren does a great deal of warm up exercises which not only protects the voice, but channels a lot of energy, as well as, provides focus.
As a parent Keren communicated enough so that I understood some of the technical aspects, areas of future focus and homework for my daughter. When the time came for the recitals she was able to have the children keep it a surprise for the parents. Recitals were pleasantly casual enough to quell nerves. However, it was also professional. It was apparent a lot of time and thought went into the skillful performances which included drama, costumes and small storylines.
Keren is a highly charismatic and motivating teacher. I strongly recommend Keren. I would have started taking lessons, as well as, my daughter had we not moved out of the area.
Keren is a wonderful instructor. Her energy, passion, and enthusiasm for singing, music, and performing are infectious. I have enjoyed working with Keren for about a year now, and feel that I have improved my vocal range, strengthened my voice, and learned about performance technique. Working with Keren will not only improve your singing and performing technique through vocal and floor exercises, it will encourage you to grow in ways you may not even have thought possible, such as in auditioning for musicals or writing/performing your own music. Keren will push you to step out of your comfort zone while always encouraging you to stay true to yourself. I can't recommend her highly enough!
