To augment the knowledge gleaned from years of her own personal experience, Ajda incorporates techniques from great voice teachers such as Elisabeth Howard, Dena Murray, and David Blair McClosky. In 2010, Ajda was a part of the first ever Girls Rock Camp Boston, where she served as a vocal instructor for girls ages 9-16. Also in 2010, she attended the McClosky Institute for Voice's summer seminar at Endicott College in Beverly, MA. In 2011, she instructed voice at the first ever Ladies Rock Camp Boston, and also served as a band coach for adult beginners.
"Knowledge is power, and together we will improve your existing vocal technique and increase your confidence. I will help you learn how to quickly warm-up your voice, physiology of the vocal instrument, phrasing, rhythm, enunciation/articulation, breathing techniques, basic musical concepts, songwriting, the art of creating lead sheets & much, much more. You will be able to move people when you sing songs you love, expressing yourself in front of friends and strangers."
All lessons are taught at Studio 44 of the
Steinert Building, in the
heart of Boston's Theatre District, and across from Boston
Common. It
is conveniently located near the
Boylston St stop on the Green Line, and has
lovely Mason & Hamlin piano.
Testimonials:
"I came to Ajda as a beginning voice student, and
I am
consistently impressed with her dedication to teaching and her teaching
style. Every week, she has typed a
specific, thoughtful lesson plan for my needs and interests, replete
with
information about the anatomy of the voice, the science of using the
voice as
an instrument, and exercises to improve my skill. She
also
focuses
on
the
artistic
aspect
during
lessons,
and
has
taught
me
a great deal about how one approaches a song.
Her experiences at the Berklee College
of Music and performing in her band have served me well, as she has
been able
to pass along the technical theory as well as knowledge about
performing. Ajda is personable,
professional, and
fun. Her genuine love and
appreciation for music have motivated me to practice and become a
better
singer." - Erin Walker
"Ajda! My singing is better than ever thanks to you!" - Kim Ackland
“To learn how to sing and to improve my voice was something on my
bucket list. I literally had no experience, and I turned to Ajda
to teach me the basics such as scales, runs, breathing techniques,
etc.. She has great ability to teach a beginner like myself. Her
patient demeanor and ability to inspire one are so valuable, she’s
simply an excellent teacher and I would recommend her to anyone.” -
