Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras

Baseball... Yankees are my favorite team.
5. What's your favorite food?
Pizza

Teacher of the Month!
NESM Voice Teacher
Abi Zieger
1. What is the one thing you like most about teaching?
I really love seeing students working hard on something, no matter how fast or slow
progress comes. I rejoice in the process of learning... maybe even more than in the product.
2. How do you inspire your students to practice more?
Consistency is key. I tell my students that doing short amounts of practice (even 15-20
minutes a day) consistently is much better than cramming 2 hours the day before your
lesson. It's easier that way too!
3. What part do you feel the recitals play in the development of our student musicians?
Recitals are a great opportunity to practice performing in front of a group in a low key and fun
setting. You can show what you've been learning without feeling a ton of pressure.
4. What is your favorite type of music?
Folk, Indie, Classical, and Opera. Basically anything but mainstream radio! :)
5. If you could give a quick tip for vocalists, what would it be?
Practice slowly and purposefully, phrase by phrase.
A great big THANK YOU to Abi for all of her hard work at Northeast School of Music!
