About Rachel
I have performed at multiple venues in New York City, including Carnegie Hall and Off-Broadway. I studied opera performance and musical theater at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ and acting at Primary Stages. Along with these qualifications, my positive spirit and belief in my students has yielded outstanding results in their musical accomplishments.
I've been teaching voice, guitar, and piano lessons for the past four years, as well as coaching students for specific auditions (school plays, national tours, honors choir auditions). Let me aid you in achieving your dreams!

Ms. Rachel was an amazing vocal teacher! We would always start off with simple and fun warm-ups, breathing techniques, and would practice singing songs from musicals. My first couple lessons she taught me how to sing I Feel Pretty from West Side Story and we both had so much fun with it! After a little while we learned Cups from Pitch Perfect and then we got into the Vaccai book and I learned a couple songs from there. Overall Ms. Rachel was the best! She even offered to Skype a lesson with me since she moved. She cared about me and always helped me improve my voice in every way she could. I love her!

I must say that I am please with Jamie's technique and patience with me. Jamie is very knowledgable and shares some of his secrets (not shortcuts mind you) that help in learning to master the acoustic guitar. He leaves you with valuable lessons and exercises that can do nothing but improve on how you play the guitar. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with Jamie.

About Valerie G.
Close
The lessons start with vocal technique, scales and exercises.
We will then work on your songs.
I do not teach rap nor rock, nor riffs and raffs.
Please don't call me if that's the kind of music you want to study with me.
I am fine with ballads, folk music, Broadway musicals, jazz, American songbook standards! The main thing is for you to sing with joy and expression!
About Valerie
After a long and successful career as an opera and concert soloist and vocal pedagogue, Ms. G. returned to NY and has opened my studio to serious students of all ages. Having lived and worked all over Europe, she is fluent in German, Italian and French as well in the musical style needed for art song, oratorio and opera. She also teaches the belt technique needed for musical theater, pop, and jazz. She has taught privately in the USA, Germany and Italy for many years, as well as on the faculty of the University of Koblenz, Germany.
During the summers, she offers voice lessons at her studio in Tuscany, Italy where she is also artistic director of the Camerata Colombaia Music Festival and director of "Casentino Voice" , an intensive vocal program for singers with masterclasses, private lessons, coaching and performance.

timonials from my students:
"At last, someone who's willing and able to understand the individuality of my voice. Ms. G. is a great teacher for the professional singer, though I regret I didn't study with someone like her when I was a student. She does not require that you start from the beginning again with 'her' technique. She is creative and intuitive and has the skill to help you immediately improve upon that which you already have. I am very excited that I have found her!"
"Valerie can teach you how to sing without pressure while still producing a strong sound".
"A good teacher, must be able to help you significantly in the first lesson. Valerie is one of those".
"Since I've been studying with Valerie, my voice has gotten richer and more even. Singing feels a lot easier now"
"I've studied with so many teachers, Valerie is the first one to focus on my problems, solve them and make me feel good about my strengths at the same time".

Dear Future Students,
I want to make your voice shine! My goal is to help you reach your goal of being a singer. I will help you anyway I can. We're going to have lots of fun learning different techniques. However, the most important things is getting to sing not only great, but also very healthy so that you can have a long career.
About Deborah
I have so many different things I teach. If you are looking for a voice teacher, I definitely can be of help. I have been singing all of my life. I sing in many different genres like pop, gospel, R&B, and classical. I can even help if you want to be an opera singer, as I am studying to be one myself at the Aaron Copland of Music. First things we would start to do is learn how to breathe. After the student understands good breath, then we will apply it to actual singing.
I also teach Italian, and have taught the language for 3 years in a private school. I lived in Italy for a while and I just love the language. If anyone needs a tutor, I can help!
I also teach art history, and art as far as drawing and painting. So if any parent wants for their child learn how to express themselves through painting or drawing, I can do that as well!!
I love to do all of these things, as I have a great passion for them! I hope I can inspire someone else.

She pinpoints exactly what I am doing wrong during my lesson and offers suggestions on how to correct it going forward. I appreciate that because if your instructor doesn't tell you, your audience will. And you might not like how they say it. I am there to go beyond just singing in the shower, and her constructive criticism only makes me better. She is also polite when she corrects you, she's not cracking the whip.
She focuses immediately on different techniques that will help you improve your voice so that you can PROGRESS, instead of just banging out scales on the piano lesson after lesson and overlooking mistakes a student may make like some instructors do. I hate to be this blunt, but there are some instructors I have met in the past who do just that (none of them are from takelessons) to me it shows a devotion to the art and a commitment to bringing out the best voice that you have she wants you to be as good as her! To me no one could ask for any more than that in a voice instructor. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a teacher.

About Elisabeth L.
Close
I am an experienced teacher, performer and recording artist with over 20 years of experience. I am also a faculty member at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary music where I have taught Vocal Performance, Vocal Technique for the Contemporary Vocalist, Ear Training, Vocal Musicianship, Jazz Repertoire, Improvisation, and Solfeggio (moveable DO).
Voice-body-mind-spirit - it all flows in harmony during a solid performance. No two people are alike, or have the same experience, goals or hang-ups. I tailor my teaching approach to each individual student, depending on your musical background, prior training, emotional issues we may need to address. Fear often threatens to close us off from what we truly want to express. But with solid technique and a fun, nurturing environment to work in, we can get your voice to the level that you want it to be.
About Elisabeth
Learning to sing is a journey of discovery. It is my task to help you become who you truly are, and excellent vocal technique helps you express that. Discover your voice in a fun, professional and nurturing environment that will help you reach a vocal depth that is inspiring and satisfying.
I am a professional vocalist, songwriter and voice teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. Because I am active as a touring musician I constantly strive for improving my own abilities and adjust them to the needs of the road. My touring and recording has immensely benefitted my teaching, because I continue to have real-life experience as an active musician. I know what it takes.

I have been a faculty member at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City for over 15 years. I've been fortunate to teach Private voice l
essons there as well as Ear Training, Vocal Performance, Vocal Musicianship, and Senior Seminar.
As a touring jazz vocalist I have performed all over the world, from Japan to Egypt, Germany, Mexico, USA and Canada. Most of my touring happens in Europe. While there I teach online lessons only.
As a band leader I have released 12 CDs throughout the years. I also owned and ran my own recording studio for 15 years, until the Real Estate monster snatched it up.
I enjoy going deep into vocal technique with my students, exploring what it is that holds them back from reaching that next level, releasing fear and physical tension, balancing and strengthening the voice. Vocal improvisation is another subject I love, be it free improv or specific jazz scat singing over chord changes. Helping vocalists of all levels become better singers and deepen their musicianship skills is a big and wonderful part of what I get to do.

My students will learn the keys to a healthy, vibrant sound! I teach my students important and personalized vocal techniques and nuances that fit their range, style and skill set. My students will be able to produce a healthy, resonant and unique sound that fits their musical interests and personal strengths as a singer. I will guide them in choosing music and vocal literature that compliments them while appeasing their musical tastes and preferred genres. I will encourage them not only in the physical act of singing, but also the act of performing- as portraying the character or expressing an emotion is just as important as a beautiful voice! We will also dive into the important basics, such as breathing technique and exploring the vocal anatomy, as well as approaching more advanced topics about the singing voice, in order to make them a more well-rounded and knowledgable vocalist.
About Lexi
Hello! My name is Lexi, and I am a New York City-based voice teacher! I hold a BFA in Musical Theatre from Jacksonville University in my sunny hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. I love all types of music, and love to teach all types of voices! Although I do specialize in musical theatre voice, I am a classically trained vocalist myself and definitely love to teach classical voice, among others. I have professional musical theatre experience, and have been a teaching artist for 2 years. I would love the chance to work with you and help you reach your full vocal potential!

I have taught voice to actors and singers for over thirty years. My lessons are warm and relaxed to create a safe atmosphere for exploring and expanding the voice. In addition to teaching a solid technique to bring the voice forward for maximum resonance, your breath for great support, exercises for range and flexibility as well as beauty of sound, I focus on your unique relationship to the text so that you can deliver a resounding, authentic performance! My lessons are improvised and adjusted to the student's need as presented that day. I listen carefully and suggest thoughtfully!
About Carmen
I came from a small Iowa town to study voice and graduate from Juilliard in the company of great young musicians and even became a finalist in the Metropolitan Opera auditions. In musical theater I played the leading ingenue in Carousel, Showboat, Most Happy Fella, Fanny, Brigadoon, Anything Goes. I toured in The Best of Operetta, The Best of Broadway, An Evening with Romberg. I shot 48 episodes of Woman's Day, USA on USA Cable. Delving into acting at HB Studio, with Mary Tarcai, Lily Parker, Peter Flood of the Actors' Studio enhanced my performances and teaching of singing greatly. In my teaching career I have taught Shakespearean actors, ballerinas, private school musical stars, a current TV star, an Academy Award winner, and just plain folks who wanted to sing better. During a good lesson, we both grow!

He is very open about the methodology he uses, but having a lesson with him saves a ton of time and effort still as he's able to hone in on your exact issue and lead you towards natural singing so that come performance time after warming up you can just think about the performance and not be worrying about technique and saving your voice. Highly recommend!"
