"The Formula for Success: Artistry + Craft Skills + Business Acumen"

Phyllis Hyman was in this class for over 10 years!

Other graduates include Wendy O'Williams of the Plasmatics, George Wurzbach, Robby Benson, Karla Divito and many more.

Quincy Jones was instrumental in convincing Ann to study with his teacher, the world renowned Nadia Boulanger. Combining Boulanger musicianship training system with her own craft skills method, Ann can help develop your natural genius while maximizing your potential for a full-time recording career.

Many of Ann's recording peers, like Grammy-winning Roberta Flack, Diane Schurr, and Eddie Palmieri, along with former students Phyllis Hyman, Karlo DiVito, Robbie Benson, Suzanna Vega, and Lala Cope— who wrote Whitney Houston's smash hit "You Give Good Love" during her Saturday class—stop by to share their expertise.

The class begins with Hatha Yoga, followed by vocalese, sight-singing, keyboard harmony, orchestration, and ends with discussions of presentation and the business of music.

"Saturday class is a wonderful place to focus yourself on your music goals, and it provides you with the continuity needed to achieve them. It teaches you how to sing through scales with consistency. It’s a great place for people with little musical training to find, in a loving and supportive environment, the skills they need to advance their musicianship. "
-Barrett Zinn, student
