We proudly welcome two new artist-teachers to the faculty of Hunterdon Academy of the Arts--Nicole Guberman (Voice) and Kaitlin Alusik (Flute).

Nicole Guberman, a professional Soprano, enjoys performing and teaching a variety of musical styles, with a special affinity for baroque, classical, and contemporary

 repertoires. An accomplished artist, Nicole won Second Prize at the 2007 competition of the National Association of Teachers of Singing at SUNY Potsdam. She received her Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance from Ithaca College, where she graduated, magna cum laude, in 2009. While at Ithaca College, she also studied Meisner Technique at the Actor's Workshop, and was a member of the faculty, teaching a Vocal Pedagogy course.  Moreover, Nicole attened master classes and workshops with Enza Ferrari and Brad Hougham at the Spoleto Arts Symposium in Spoleto, Italy (2008); with Mary Dibbern at the Rising Star Singers Institute in Rising Sun, IN (2007); and with Julian Rodescu at the Florence Voice Seminar in Florence, Italy (2006). Furthermore, Nicole has participated in the Aquarius Workshop of the Crittenden Opera Studio in NYC (2010); and in the Emerging Artist Program in Los Angeles (2008). Later this summer, she is scheduled to participate in the Neil Semer Summer Vocal Institute in Coesfeld, Germany.

A strong addition to our woodwind faculty, Kaitlin Alusik is a recent graduate of The College of New Jersey, where she received her Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education in 2009. Following her undergraduate studies, she entered the Master of Music program in flute performance at The Boston Conservatory, studying with flutist Linda Toote, a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Previous teachers include David DiGiacobbe of the Lancaster and Harrisburg Symphonies, Renee Siebert of the New York Philharmonic and Keith Underwood of New York University. Kate has been teaching flute privately for the past several years. She is also employed at The Children's Corner of the Bridgewater United Methodist Church, where she serves as substitute teacher. As a flutist, she has performed in church services, pit orchestras and various chamber groups since high school, and enjoys sharing her love for music.

We're thrilled to have Nicole and Kate join our outstanding music faculty.  They are available to teach, respectively, voice lessons and flute lessons.
