About
Greetings to all my musical friends out there!

If you're on the hunt for personalized and efficient voice and songwriting lessons that are rooted in contemporary styles, then you've come to the right place. I'm a highly experienced teacher who places great emphasis on self-expression, goal achievement, and overall fun.

My name is Hila, and I've been a performing musician since I was 15, playing my own songs as well as jazz standards. I initially studied at the Tel Aviv Conservatory's Center for Jazz Studies before branching out into rock, pop, and R&B. I gave my very first voice lesson eight years ago and have since dedicated thousands of hours to teaching aspiring musicians.

In 2020, I decided to pursue a Voice Training Certification from NYVC to enhance my teaching skills even further. My approach to teaching has always been centered on the individual student's needs, regardless of their level of experience.

Whether you're a novice or a seasoned pro, we'll work together to improve your technique, explore different voice registers and chord progressions, delve into stylistic characteristics, and find ways to deliver your music with impact. But above all, I firmly believe in getting to know who you are as an individual so that we can unlock your full creative potential.

So, let's get to work and make some beautiful music together!

Hila, my music teacher, is undeniably the finest, most generous, and empathetic mentor I could hope for. With any tune I present to her, regardless of its genre, she accompanies me on the journey, providing the necessary guidance for me to deliver a stellar performance. The lessons are always enjoyable, with a fantastic ambiance that sets the tone. I am extremely content with my progress and am genuinely improving as a musician.

Being a pianist, I had always yearned for greater confidence and flexibility in employing my vocal abilities. Thanks to Hila, I was able to make significant strides in perfecting my singing technique and nurturing a deeply personal and musical voice. Her guidance proved invaluable, benefitting not just my singing but also my songwriting, as she had plenty of insightful advice to give in this area. Every lesson with Hila is a delight – they're invigorating, well-organized and most importantly, incredibly enjoyable. I absolutely recommend her!

For two years, I learned voice and songwriting from Hila. Although music is only a hobby for me and I am not a professional musician, our weekly lessons were incredibly enjoyable. Hila is patient, kind, and knowledgeable, and I have made significant progress with her guidance. I have improved my vocals and feel more connected to myself through my singing and songwriting. I highly recommend her services!

The experience was so enjoyable! I've always struggled with singing in tune and have never believed that I have a natural musical ability. However, after just a few lessons, I feel more confident in my ability to sing without causing my neighbors to close their windows. In addition, I never realized how important breathing is in singing and where to take breaths in a musical phrase. For just $45/hour, this is a fantastic deal. Not only is Hila incredibly funny and patient (especially with someone like me!), but I've also made progress in singing. I'm truly pleased with myself for investing in these few lessons and would like to give a huge thank you to Hila.
