About Monica
I’m Mónica López Garzón, a passionate musician, singer, and educator with extensive experience teaching violin, voice, and music theory to students of all ages. My goal is to help each student develop confidence, musicality, and a lifelong love of music.
With a master’s degree in Vocal Performance from Longy School of Music of Bard College and years of teaching experience in schools and music programs, I combine structured learning with creative, personalized approaches. Whether you’re starting out or advancing your skills, I provide clear guidance, supportive feedback, and a fun, inspiring learning environment.
Let’s explore music together and unlock your full potential!

My Teaching Method and Techniques
I offer a comprehensive musical education rooted in my Master of Music in Vocal Performance. My approach is defined by precision, patience, and passion. (Also, the lesson can be in Spanish, if you wish!)
- Vocal Coaching:
I specialize in 'Freeing the Natural Voice.' We focus on the Italian school of breathing (Appoggio), resonance, and diction to ensure you can sing with power and health across any genre, be it Classical, Opera, or Pop.
- Piano (Beginners):
I am an expert in the Piano Adventures (Faber) method. For my youngest students (ages 4+), I use a 'Multi-Key' approach that makes reading music as natural as reading a book.
- Violin:
I focus on 'The Golden Posture', building a tension-free relationship with the instrument from day one to ensure a beautiful tone and technical agility.
A Typical Lesson Plan (60 Minutes)
I tailor every lesson to the student's age and goals:
- 00-15 min: Technical Foundation. (Vocalizes/scales/bowing exercises). For 4-year-olds, I use musical games to build ear-training and motor skills.
- 15-40 min: Core Repertoire. We work through your Piano Adventures books, Violin pieces, or Vocal scores, focusing on phrasing and accuracy.
- 40-55 min: Artistry & Interpretation. As a vocal coach, I teach you how to 'tell the story' of the music, focusing on expression and performance psychology.
- 55-60 min: The Weekly Map. We clarify exactly how to practice at home to see results by next week.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What makes my studio unique is the Master’s level expertise combined with a deep understanding of Early Childhood Education.
I have the high-level training to coach advanced singers, yet I possess the specific patience and pedagogical tools needed to engage a 4-year-old beginner.
I don't just teach you how to play or sing; I teach you how to be a musician, incorporating theory, history, and stage presence into every lesson.
Who the Lessons are For Aspiring Singers:
- Students preparing for auditions, conservatory entries, or those who simply want to find their voice.
- Young Beginners (Ages 4-7): Specialized 'My First Piano Adventure' sessions.
- Violin Students: Beginners to intermediate players of all ages.
- Adult Learners: I offer a relaxed yet structured environment for adults returning to music or starting a new hobby in NYC.

Super easy to work with, very talented. Understanding and dedicated, Mónica takes the time and effort needed to make a real connection with the students and elevates the music through understanding and care. Great vocal range, knows all the rep, and wonderful violin player as well. Highly recommended.
I know Monica from the music degree we attended together. Although it was a very demanding program, she always showed responsibility and a great attitude towards learning. I had the chance to know her as a teacher in different academies and I always saw a very kind and optimist way to make sure her students learned and achieved their goals. I've also attended her concerts and I could feel her spirit and connection with both music and the audience. She is a great teacher and musician. I can recommend her with eyes closed.
The best piano teacher I ever met.
She is kind, patient and very knowledgeable - not just in piano, but singing, violin.
If you are looking to a teacher that will be flexible but push your boundaries to learn more, she is the one!View more recommendations
