Marymount Manhattan College is a coeducational, independent, private college located in Manhattan, New York City. The mission of the College is to educate a socially and economically diverse student body by fostering intellectual achievement and personal growth and by providing opportunities for career development. Enrollment consists of 1640 undergraduates, with women making up 76.1% and men 23.9%.HistoryDirectly from the college's website:Since 1961, Marymount Manhattan has been an independent, private college open to all creeds, while noting its foundation by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. While the college no longer described itself as Catholic, the Catholic Church continued to list it in the Catholic Directory until 2005. Unaware that the college did not claim to be a Catholic school, the Cardinal Newman Society protested the college's announcement of its decision to invite then-Senator Hillary Clinton to deliver a commencement address and to confer an honorary doctoral degree upon her, due to Senator Clinton's longtime public support for abortion rights. In response to the protests and without objection by the college, it was de-listed from "The Official Catholic Directory," which identifies Catholic institutions.In 1976, Finch College, a women's college best known as a "finishing school" for affluent young women, closed and passed its records over to the school. The school was most famous for educating Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of former US President Richard Nixon.

Michael Warren D.M.A. obtained his Doctorate in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance from the University of Maryland, along with Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Denver, and has operated a prominent vocal studio in New York City for over 25 years. Several of his students have made leading role debuts at the Metropolitan Opera, and have sung in all of the major opera houses of the world including Covent Garden, La Scala, San Francisco and Bayreuth, appearing with such renowned artists as Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and Mirella Freni. They have also performed leading roles on Broadway and in major jazz venues around the world. Several of his students have also established significant careers as voice teachers. Dr. Warren has served as vocal pedagogy instructor at Finland’s Korsholm Festival, sharing faculty status with Nicolai Gedda, and was named one of the top 10 voice teachers in New York by Houston Grand Opera. Working from the natural function of the voice, he has developed a unique pedagogical approach that enables the development of each instrument from its particular strengths. His students are noted for their exceptional range and stamina, even registration, and for the individuality of their vocal quality and timbre. As a performer, Dr. Warren has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony under Sergiu Comissiona, and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. He was tenor soloist with the Roger Wagner Chorale and is a former member of the U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants, where he also served as rehearsal conductor.

No child is the same as the next, and as an educator and caregiver, this is very obvious. All children develop, learn and function differently and it is so important to be sensitive to this fact. Children have different interests and hobbies outside of music. During Taylor-Made lessons and classes, I try to stay relevant to the specific student I’m working with.
