What is it?
Daily (2 to 7 sessions a week) 15 minute 1-on-1 sessions that complement your weekly sessions on either piano or vocal.
Please note that these sessions are not with Peter Teodorescu.
Why do we have these?
- To solve the challenges we are finding that most vocal and/or piano students are having with their own daily practice
- It’s difficult to practice yourself without guidance without being trained on how to practice and what to look for
- To increase the effectiveness of your weekly 1-on-1 session
How do I enrol?
- Choose either Piano Nanny or Vocal Foundations
- Choose how many 15 min sessions you would like in a week for the month (From 2 to 7)
- Choose your preferred days and times
- Choose your second choice in case those slots are not available
- Please email me your preferrences (I will have a fancy form in the future to use)
- We schedule it in, send through the Zoom recurring meeting request, and it’s set up!
- On your selected date and times, click on the Zoom link you received in the email (or enter the Meeting ID and Password) – and we start!
These sessions are to supplement your weekly sessions, not instead of.

Vocal Foundations
The challenges we are solving include:
✔ |
The difficulty to pinpoint your small errors and to know what to fix while you are singing them |
✔ |
The inability to listen to yourself during a vocal warmup so you can correct yourself |
✔ |
Difficulties in matching pitch |
✔ |
Unconscious bad posture during daily practice |
✔ |
Incorrect breathing |
✔ |
Tension when warming up which carries over to singing |
✔ |
Weak transition between head and chest voice |
✔ |
Poor confidence – it is critical that your daily practice sessions are with confidence |
✔ |
Not opening your mouth wide enough |
✔ |
Needing additional support/practice for your upcoming exam, audition, performance |
Piano Nanny
The challenges we are solving include:
✔ |
Children often or mostly don’t have discipline to practice the passages at a slower speed and efficiently (don’t worry – adults often do the same thing) |
✔ |
Children practicing for 5 minutes and saying that they have practiced |
✔ |
Only practicing the parts that they enjoy or are already proficient at |
✔ |
Skipping over the technical work |
✔ |
Avoiding the Scales and Arpeggios like the plague |
✔ |
Not feeling confident when it comes to daily practice. It takes more than a schedule to feel confident in practicing. |
✔ |
Needing additional support/practice for your upcoming exam, audition, performance |
Don’t worry, it is natural to feel this way.. I felt the same way when I was a child. The happiness it gave me to play the passage that I knew far surpassed any joy I felt of the new things I had to learn or get better at.
