Hey! I’m Simona Daniele, an Italian jazz singer and vocal coach based in NYC. I'm Simona Daniele, an Italian professional jazz singer and vocal coach based in NYC. My goal is to help you discover your unique voice while having fun with music! I graduated with a Master’s in Jazz Voice at the Conservatory of Milan in 2022. The same year, I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and earned my second Master's in Jazz Performance at City College of New York. My lessons are about creating a NO JUDGMENT ZONE where you can explore your voice, connect with your breath, and allow yourself to make mistakes, grow, and have fun! The goal is to help you discover your unique voice and build confidence while enjoying the process. Whether you’re into jazz, pop, rock, or Italian music, we’ll work together to improve your technique in a supportive and relaxed environment. Here’s what you can expect from our lessons: 1. WARM-UP: We’ll start each session with targeted vocal exercises to prepare your voice and body for singing. This helps improve breath control, tone quality, and vocal range. 2. TECHNIQUE FOCUS Depending on your goals, we’ll explore key areas like breath support, pitch accuracy, expanding your vocal range, and improving vocal agility. We’ll work on finding your natural voice while enhancing your technical foundation. 3. REPERTOIRE WORK Together, we’ll choose songs you enjoy—whether jazz, pop, rock, or Italian songs—and apply the techniques we’ve been practicing. We’ll focus on interpretation, style, and making each song your own. 4. PERFORMANCE PRACTICE If you’re interested in performing, we can work on stage presence, emotional expression, and connecting with your audience. We can simulate a performance or audition environment to help you feel more comfortable on stage. 5. FEEDBACK & GOAL SETTING At the end of each lesson, we’ll review your progress, discuss what’s working, and set goals for the next session. My approach is always positive and constructive, so you’ll leave feeling motivated and excited to keep learning!
