With the help of her degree in Studio Music and Jazz from the University of Miami and over eighteen years of vocal experience, Beth Cohen is able to teach or coach any student at any level who is in need of training. Beth has been teaching for over fifteen years both privately and in large classes. Her private lessons can include everything from teaching style and technique, to music theory. She has held open workshops for groups such as Warner/Chappell Music.  She also regularly coaches in-studio sessions, helping to save a recording artist both time and the health of his or her voice.

She is able to help a vocalist at any level, from beginner to advanced. Some of her students have included successful recording artists such as Scott Stapp (Creed), Danny Wood (“New Kids on the Block”), Desmond Child, (writer of “La Vida Loca”), Alejandra Gusman, Jada Pinkett Smith and Lindsay Lohan.  Beth also spent three years as a faculty member at University of Miami. Beth is patient and positive with her clients.  Her hope is always to make the student comfortable and create a healthy learning environment.  The goal is to help the student improve upon what they already have, so they may go forward with their own personal musical goals.

In the studio, she is also in demand for her vocal back grounds and vocal production abilities.  This is because she is not only a teacher but a full time vocalist as well. She has recorded background vocals on albums with such artists as Barbara Streisand, Pink, Alejandro Sanz and toured with various artists including Chayanne, the Bee Gee's, Jon Secada, Julio Iglesias and Debbie Gibson.

Sometimes wearing two, (actually three) hats, Beth is coaching full time.  But she is also actively working as a singer.  Right now she has two shows coming up with Barry Gibb. She will be singing backgrounds as well as a duet with him for the show.  And she is always writing and placing songs for other singers.  A young Russian artist just used three of her songs for her forthcoming EP.

Some of Beth's best experiences in the business were probably early on when she was touring with Jon Secada and doing the promotional circuit of  T.V. shows such as Leno, Rosie and Live with Regis.  It was a real thrill, however she goes on to say one of the worst experiences in the business was the first time she took some of her songs into a publisher and they totally shot her down.  "I left the office and cried in the elevator. I always knew there would be rejection, but really feeling it for that first time was so painful."

Whether it be teaching or singing Beth feels like she is so lucky to earn money doing something she loves so much.  "With singing it’s just the love of making music come out of my mouth.  With teaching, it’s the satisfaction of seeing someone get better, and in turn get one step closer to their dream." Sometimes she hates when people don’t understand the value of the work." People try to offer less for my services.  No one would walk into the dentist and say, You charge $100? Well, I’ll give ya $20.” It’s a constant battle. It would be great to see the industry more focused on the quality of the music and not the image."
