Teaching

Voice teacher, vocal/style coach

Former faculty member of the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division and graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and the North Carolina School of the Arts, Ms. Goldstein is proud to open her Westchester, NY vocal studio and is currently accepting new students of varying levels and background. Ms. Goldstein’s twelve-year apprenticeship with one of the opera world’s greatest sopranos, Adele Addison, provided her with every necessary tool, exercise, image and insight that both she and her students have ever come to need in order to build, maintain and exceed the highest standard of vocal and technical excellence, musical exactness, truth and style, and perfection in foreign language including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian and Czech. Having taught privately for 15 years, Ms. Goldstein brings to the teaching field her professional stage and recording experience and knowledge of performance skills and emotional content that will serve the singer for their entire lives. Ms. Goldstein has also spent many years under the tutelage of Metropolitan opera baritone Mark Oswald, and has studied and coached with some of the greatest singers of our time including Anna Moffo, Birgit Nilson, Mignon Dunn, Hermann Prey, Charles Bressler, and Betty Allen. Please see Ms. Goldstein’s bio page for her list of orchestral, concert and operatic credits.

Cantorial, Yiddish Theater and Jewish repertoire coaching

Ms. Goldstein’s illustrious Jewish and cantorial family background (www.cantoramygoldstein.com) also prepared her not only for her many years as a cantor, Yiddish theater performer and Jewish song stylist, but also as a coach and technical teacher for those students wishing to learn exactly how to exactly sing and perfect true cantorial “moves”, runs, inflection, coloratura and performance style in all aspects of Jewish music. Ms. Goldstein’s husband, Jonathan Faiman (www.jonathanfaiman.com) is also the long-time arranger, orchestrator and editor for many of today’s greatest cantors including Hazzanim Alberto Mizraho, Ben-Zion Miller, Rebecca Garfein, Eric Moses, and Meredith Stone.

Testimonials from Amy’s Students

“4 years after Amy left New York City [!!!], I’m still using vocal exercises she gave me. Amy also made me realize the vocal importance of *general* relaxation and strength exercises, which I’d been ignoring at the time.” - Baritone and Cantorial Soloist, Larry Kay

“Amy Goldstein is a superb artist of the highest calibre who is genuinely able to combine her passion and knowledge in music with teaching a solid and artistic vocal technique with a caring and supportive attitude. I had the pleasure and honor to perform with her on different stages and see her students shine throughout her wonderful teaching approach.” - Soprano and Cantorial Soloist Shiree Kidron (www.Shireekidron.com):
