About Theater Steps

Company Information

Theater Steps Logo

Theater Steps is a music school providing tailored private one-on-one instruction in voice, piano, and guitar to students of all ages. Private lessons provide focused instruction, guiding students to develop their skills and reach their individual goals.

TS was founded by Lisa Villamaria Casia, a passionate music educator, actor, performer, and adjudicator in the NJ festivals and competitions. TS is a result of Lisa’s ambition to merge excellence in music education with performance for inner city kids in the Hudson County region of NJ. Lisa’s teaching approach is a combination of her experience as a public school music teacher and her “real world” experience having toured nationally and internationally as a performer. Her desire is to share knowledge about what casting directors & artistic directors look for in the “real world”. Lisa keeps students inspired and motivated to perform by teaching music that is fun and current. TS covers a variety of genres of music styles including pop, rock, country, musical theater, and classical.
