About Jessica D.
Close
I have been singing since I was old enough to sing and it's something I do professionally almost every day. I will teach you some basic techniques such as breathing, posture, singing exercises and how to select a repertoire that best fits you. From there, we will go on to develop your goals as a vocalist and make you feel great about taking the floor, whether it be at karaoke, a party, the stage or your living room. I'm excited to meet you and sing with you!

Jessica works with classic rock, pop, folk and all your favorite songs as your step ladder for learning.

About L'Marco S.
Close
My name is L'Marco Smith. I work as a photographer and voice teacher for Opus Music Education and taught at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, specializing in Classical/Pop/R&B/ Country/Rock. I'm also a recording artist, having sung with/for names such as Kim Burrell, Robin Thicke, and Brandy, so I am equipped to coach you in recording techniques and vocal production. I have taught many successful students and would love to officially add you to my roster of amazing potential! I teach everyone from kids to adults the proper techniques of singing, and stage presence/ movements; even incorporating some of what I learned while in college; hailing from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, CSULB. I would love to be of assistance!
About L'Marco
I am not just a teacher, having the experience of successfully launching a solo career in the pop markets and working with some of the best in the industry! Thus, not only do I give instruction on basic and intermediate singing technique(s), I also focuses heavily on the performance aspect of music.
"There is nothing greater to witness on stage, than a singer who both has the talent and the ability to captivate their audience's full attention." - L. S.
I studied for 5 years at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSU, Long Beach. I studied everything from Classical to Jazz, so I'm knowledgeable on how to yield results in various genres.

I have a very unique teaching style most would say. I'm very real, honest, upfront, and approachable. My feedback is constructive and insightful.

Throughout my lessons, confidence building is my main focus! Most of my students can attest that if the work is put in, the best results are put out!

L'Marco is providing my 8 year old son more than what I thought. He's teaching the things that go along with singing and the words and definition as well as having exams so he will really know what they mean. Diction, posture, diaghragm,larynax, glissando (?). He's teaching him pitch, performance and stage presence. Because of L'Marco and his wonderful teachings my son has song the lead to a song in church which he was very afraid before. Now he has many request to lead solos and perform at 2 separate banquets this year (2014). Several of my friends want to utilize L;Marco for their children... NO NO he's all mine. lol

I've been studying under L'Marco Smith for almost a year and can say not only has my singing ability improved but my confidence in myself and my voice as well. Not only does he focus on technique but is passionate about instilling the idea that music is all about the intention and message you want to leave your audience. I tend to put stress and pressure on myself being such a serious artist constantly looking for perfection but L'Marco has been there time after time reminding me with his enthusiasm, humor and supportive outlook to enjoy the journey. He has taught me to make bold mistakes, know you have been given a gift to share, and take responsibility don't be ashamed of your voice. I've never met such a teacher who would kill to see you succeed the way he does. I know working with him, I am becoming the confident/power/successful/artist I've always dreamed I could be.

Everyone has their own unique voice, and we will find yours together! I have training in several technique-driven styles, including classical and broadway. However, I like to mix and match. I'm not interested in teaching one certain way- I listen on the fly, and make judgment calls according whatever makes YOU sound best.
I'd love to find out what kinds of artists you're interested in, and help you get started singing like a pro!
Please inquire!

About Charlotte M.
Close
I have been teaching voice for 8 years, and love to help students of all skill levels and ages to discover the strength and beauty of their own voices. I understand that singing in front of another person can be both deeply satisfying and deeply scary, and make it a priority to help all of my students feel safe and accepted. My method takes concepts from bel canto technique, alexander technique, and techniques I’ve developed myself over years of singing professionally in a wide range of styles and contexts, and I like to work on a mix of whatever songs my student loves and repertoire I know will strengthen their vocal skills and musical understanding.

She is a teacher first and foremost and doesn't sing during lessons, but on occasion when I didn't understand an exercise or progression and asked her to sing it- my god. She has a voice that makes the air in the room change.
Highly recommended.

Charlotte's ability to teach multiple vocal styles is an incredible resource.
Her instruction comes from a place of deep knowledge and also deep kindness, I would absolutely recommend studying with Charlotte.

About Samuel W.
Close
My lessons are productive, intuitive, and fun! My goal is to take the best qualities of your voice and incorporate them into your entire range. My method of teaching is to build upon that which is known and apply it to the unknown in the singing voice. My method is custom built for your unique voice. Above all, I want my students to feel comfortable and confident in my lessons. I have two degrees in Vocal Performance: a Bachelor's from Florida State University and a Master's from Ohio State University.
About Samuel
I am an opera singer currently pursuing a Professional Studies Certificate at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. I have sung with Opera Columbus, Opera Project Columbus, Ohio State University Opera and Lyric Theatre, Opera in the Ozarks, The Sankt Goar International Music Festival, and Florida State Opera. This August, I will be singing in a production of Mozart's The Magic Flute at the National Opera Center.
At Opera Columbus, I sang in the “Opera for the Young” version of Jules Massenet’s Cinderella in which I played Prince Charming. This version was in English and was toured to underprivileged schools all throughout the central Ohio area. It was an eye-opening and rewarding experience. I am passionate about Opera and sharing that passion with the next generation will aid in their appreciation of music and culture.
I am comfortable teaching many styles of music and singing, namely opera, music theatre, country, and gospel. I will fine-tune your voice to fit the style of singing. After all, technique only exists to serve the style of the music in a healthy and beautiful manner. I grew up on these types of music and I understand the vocal demands of each one of them very well. I sing them all the time!
I am an experienced singer and I know the voice well. I understand its potential and its limitations. If you take lessons with me I will not only improve your voice, but I will also improve your vocal intuition. I will give you the tools to self-diagnose your vocal problems with good technique. I understand that learning how to sing with good technique can be a difficult process, but I have had many teachers and perspectives on teaching voice. With this, I can teach you to sing in a way that you will understand and find fulfilling.

Singing is a beautiful art form that can be accessed by everyone. When taking lessons with me, we will be able to explore all of the beautiful intricacies of the voice and how it can be used to be the most expressive instrument.
With the knowledge that my degrees in voice granted me, I will guide you in a safe yet encouraging manner that will lead you to success in whatever genre you aspire to perform.
About Lyle
I am a professional singer, pianist, and teacher of the two. I have a Bachelor of Music degree from California State University Long Beach, and a Master of Music degree from University of California Los Angeles. During my study of those two degrees, I had marvelous teaching from some of the finest pianists, coaches, and voice teachers around. I can teach you how to sing with true passion, ease, and intent.
I began my study of the piano at the age of 7, my mother being my first teacher. I started on Alfred Piano Books, and still strongly believe in that same curriculum. From there I began to study classical composers like Chopin, Beethoven, Clementi, and Mozart. Although my love of classical music runs deep to my core, I love jazz, pop, and gospel music. I am happy to assist the learning of any style, anything that YOU are passionate for

About Marina H.
Close
I am a professional operatic soprano who has performed leading roles with the San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Pacific Opera Project and so many more. I recently relocated to NYC from LA, so my rates are on the low side as I build a new studio. I specialize in helping students relieve vocal tension and pressure, as well as teaching proper breath support and Bel Canto technique. During my training as an Adler Fellow at the San Francisco Opera, I performed everything from Sondheim to Wagner, and I firmly believe that with good technique, you can easily sing in any style, as I often do. I can work with any age of student, and I am excellent at balancing professionalism with accessibility. My lessons are a completely judgement free zone, your comfort and freedom to relate to me on your level are of the utmost importance. Most importantly, you WILL make progress in each lesson and you will leave feeling better and more confident after each lesson. Let's get to work!
About Marina

Our twelve year old daughter has been interested in singing and theater for a few years. She joined a few local theater groups and was
cast in smaller, non-singing rolls. A year ago Julie started giving her voice lessons and what a difference it has made. Since then she has auditioned for two lead parts and gotten cast in both! Julie has helped with her breathing and control and overall voice quality, but she has also improved her delivery, acting, stage presence, and confidence. Julie has been priceless! She is a wonderful teacher who pushes her students out of their comfort zone so they continue to grow and improve their skill set each week. Julie's enthusiasm coupled with her caring and engaging personality truly brings out the best in her students!"

I have been taking weekly lessons with Liza for over a year and would highly recommend her. I looked for a voc
al coach after my first club gig as a front-woman for a rock band. Apparently I was not using my voice correctly as I was extremely hoarse following the performance. Liza taught me how to breath, stand & 'place' my voice (be aware of all of the muscles that create one's speaking & singing voice). Using her methodology, I am able to get through a full set without any vocal strain. She is a good communicator and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Liza!"

In short, Rachel is a wonderful, attentive and expert vocal teacher!
I have studied jazz vocal ten years ago and always struggled with confide
nce issues when singing. They have gotten so bad that I've stopped singing for long enough to let my voice get out of shape. But if you are reading this, you probably feel what I've felt - life without singing is a little gray. Fortunately, I've found Rachel, who has a gorgeous voice and whose music tastes and sensibilities are very similar to mine. Rachel makes me feel at ease, she listens carefully to my goals and identifies actual (vs. my own imaginary) issues with my voice/technique. Mostly importantly she was able to explain to me the processes and techniques of singing that other teachers couldn't. Rachel is an optimistic, massively encouraging presence, she is precise and like a doctor will hear what is happening in your voice and observe/correct your technique. She will guide you and prescribe you the exercises and songs you will need to progress. I highly recommend Rachel as a teacher."

Nancy's approach to teaching is very different. She does not try to fit you in a sy
llabus. She patiently understands what areas you need to focus on singing and where you are in singing and works with you towards achieving your singing goals.
with Me, I am OK in identifying pitch, but had trouble calming my nerves, and that came in the way of singing my high range notes.
Nancy helped Me on this area. She always spends time in making me relax with breathing exercises before singing. I cant believe how much progress i have made in three months.
would definitely recommend for any body who is at any level of singing and would like to sing better"

"My 10-year-old has been taking voice lessons with Meghan for a year now, and she looks forward to every lesson! She is patient and great with kids. I was
able to observe some of the lessons and I thought Meghan was extremely knowledgeable, she gave constructive feedback, and played to my daughter's strengths and natural abilities. My daughter can sing much higher than she could before, and her confidence has really blossomed! I would highly recommend lessons with Meghan!"
