Hello! My name is Alyssa Becker. I completed my degree in music performance at Keene State College in 2022. I have been teaching for three years, and I strive to bring a young, fresh perspective to those who would like to learn how to play the guitar or learn how to sing.

Voice: During my college years, I studied under many prominent vocal pedagogues such as Dr. Matthew Leese, Dr. Evangelina Leontis, and Dr. Daniel Carberg; I also had the great privilege of completing an extensive vocal pedagogy course at KSC. I recorded my first album of soprano and piano art songs, “Love and Thought,” in October of 2021. As a classically trained soprano, I prioritize learning and teaching foundational vocal techniques, including breath support, phonation, resonance, diction, and the release of tension. Your voice is unique and organic. I can’t wait to help you unlock this special instrument!

Guitar: I have studied classical guitar with Dr. Jose Lezcano and Professor Ted Mann for over six years. In the 2020-2021 academic year, the KSC music faculty selected me for the “Instrumentalist of the Year” award, and I was honored to be the recipient of the Redfern Music Department Scholarship and the Talent Scholarship. I have studied the works of classical composers such as Brouwer, Narvaez, Milan, Sor, Tarrega, Barrios, Piazzolla, Albeniz, Villla-Lobos, and others. I primarily enjoy teaching classical guitar, but I am also available to teach acoustic guitar as well.

Method Books Used:

• Acoustic Guitar: Hal Leonard Guitar Method
• Classical Guitar: Christopher Parkening Method, interspersed with other technique books and exercises
• Voice: I use my own curriculum that I specialize for each unique student, including breathing exercises, vocal techniques, vocal exercises, and stretching. This of course is combined with pieces that the student and I will choose together.

Recommended Accessories:

• for Acoustic Guitar: Guitar Pick
• for Classical Guitar: Foot Stool or Egroplay (to support guitar)
• for Voice: Water Bottle

Lillian holds a Master of Music in Voice performance and pedagogy from the University of Kentucky. She loves to work with students on whatever their musical and signing goals might be: applying to college voice programs, preparing for All-state auditions, learning a role for a school musical, rehabilitating your voice after illness, managing performance anxiety, or singing with more confidence in a chorus!

In addition to traditional voice lessons, Lillian helps students improve their "ear training" skills ( learning basic-advanced Solfege, preparing for sight singing elements of auditions, etc.)

As a performer, Lillian's focus is in opera and classical music, but she believes that singers of all styles of music benefit from healthy vocal technique.
