All Ages/Levels

No one is ever too young or old to learn an instrument. I love teaching all ages and levels from beginners to advanced.  Children, teenagers, kids, pre-schoolers, adults, elderly, are all welcome.  My teaching experience at Prospect Hill Academy and at Day Care Centers have given me great experience with infants and toddlers as young as one year old!  I also have students in their 80's or 90's.   I believe I can improve a person’s life by teaching them a musical instrument.  I hope you will let me help to improve yours.

​

All Styles

One of the most important things in life is to be yourself!  The greatest thing about my method is you will develop your own style and not sound like anyone else; unless you want to!  The student brings in songs they want to work on:  pop, rock, hip-hop, alternative, country, progressive, blues, bluegrass, jazz, swing, broadway, folk, rap, r+b, gospel, hardcore, screaming at the top of your lungs (if you want to).

​

No End To How You Can Improve

As long as you practice using my method, there is no limit as to how you can improve your voice's range, tone, strength, and flexibility or any instrument.  Let me help you transcend fear, anxiety, and stage fright and replace it with technical ability and self-confidence.

​

Coaching and Stage Presence

We work on songs that the student loves. Using developed techniques I help them understand the true meaning of the song and how to convey it to an audience.

​

Vocal Therapist

My method is guaranteed to cure any and all vocal problems or damage you may have from singing or talking:  nodules, pitch, range, tone, endurance, etc..

​

Breathing

Proper breathing is the most important aspect to becoming a great singer.  Let me help you develop and build your instrument through solid breathing and correct posture; all which is necessary to increase your range, strength, resonance and stamina.  There is no end to how good you can get with my approach.

​

Sing With No Break

Have a smooth, multi-octave range.  Sing any note the way you like: high or low, hard or soft.

​

Guitar Lessons

Learn the basics of rhythm, notes and chords and learn to play the songs that you love. Incorporate learning to sing and play guitar on your favorite tunes.  As the student becomes more confident the lessons move into learning advanced voicings, improvisational techniques and chord solos.  

​

Piano Lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced professional, any age is welcomed. Learning to play the piano can be lots of fun and very rewarding with practice, persistence and the proper instruction.  Learn the basics of rhythm, notes and chords.  In the first lesson you will be able to play with both hands.  As you continue lessons it will be fun and exciting to learn to play popular piano pieces.  The more advanced student will have fun learning to improvise and play chord solos.

​

Drum Lessons

Learning to play the drums is really easy and fun with my method!  Start by learning how to hold the sticks and position yourself at a full drum set.  At the end of the first lesson you will be able to play beats.  With each lesson new beats, styles and exercises will be added.  As you get more advanced the student can bring in songs they want to learn.  This method is perfect and easy for any beginner or more advanced student.

​

Bass Lessons 

The bass is what holds the rhythm of the band together and provides the foundation and bottom for the chord structure.  The student is taken in a step by step method that is easy to understand starting with learning basic notes, rhythms and finger exercises.  As the student becomes more advanced they can bring in songs that they would like to learn.  

​

Ear Training

Developing your ear is essential for any serious musician.  We start by learning to sing simple melodies and rhythms and as the student progresses we move to more challenging ones.  Also incorporated will be learning notation and chord and pitch recognition.

​

Song Writing

Learn to write songs like the pros.  Karen DeBiasse has written hundreds of songs, won awards and had many placed in movies.  Let her expertise help you learn the secrets she has developed over time.  We will work on song structure, theory and lyric writing.

​

Theory and Arranging

Karen DeBiasse recieved a degree in Jazz Composition and Arranging from Berklee School Of Music.   She will teach you about notes, intervals, scales, chord structures and how chords work together.  Also, you will learn how to arrange a song by adding drums, bass, guitar, horns, strings and whatever your heart desires.

​

Not only does Karen teach voice, guitar, piano, drums, and bass, but she can also teach you any instrument you want to learn! Please see list below.
