New York City & Surrounding Areas
Gwen Conley received a coveted, "Emmy Award" as guest soloist
with the OSU Symphony Orchestra,
and hosted a TV variety show, "Feelings with Gwen Conley," featuring Billy Dee Williams.
She was opening act for major stars such as Redd Foxx, James Brown, Frankie Avalon
and Moms
Mabley. Her album features a combination of jazz, pop
and gospel
songs, entitled, "The Many Faces of Gwen Conley",
and continues to attract successful international
sales.
Her vast experience
as a vocalist, pianist, recording artist, TV talk/variety show host, and successful jingle singer
makes her one of the most sought after and effect
R&B, Pop, Jazz & Gospel vocal coaches in New York.
She cogently takes her students from beginner and intermediate
levels to professional,
pushing them to practice
hard with total focus to find one "sweet spot" at a time.
The sweet spot is -
some small item that needs perfecting.
"Break things down in sections in order to
focus on one sweet spot at a time...
and nail it by working
on it for hours," she insists.
She reminds them that they'll get the benefits of their labor when they hear
how "fabulous" they sound
after those long hours of practice... hard work, sweat & tears = success!
This year, 2012, will feature workshops
where her students will work together on riffing
skills,
harmonizing
skills, and "performance skills."
The
atmosphere in her workshops is very supportive, lending growth and total freedom of expression where her students are eager
to grow.
It also makes them work harder in their private practice sessions to be prepared to present their
"best" stuff before their peers.
She will also be giving Performance Parties in May, August, and
December 2012 - "Ms. G's Performance Parties."
They will occur every 4 months
for as long as the student is working with her.
As in her workshops, her Performance Parties have a "built-in"
supportive audience,
which they love because they can safely prepare for the real world while doing their choice of R&B, Pop, Gospel, or Jazz! The Performance
Parties are also lots of fun; they get to know one another
while developing as performers singing in front of an
audience with confidence. She will keep it that way!
You can also expect their R&B voice lessons to also incorporate
a few minutes of theory
topics such as sight-reading, key signatures, and piano scales and chords
if the student is not already
equipped with these skills.
She insists that they must be able to communicate "as professionals"
with other professional musicians.
