Emilia has been awesome! I am a 24 year old male with absolutely no prior singing experience. I've been taking lessons for about 3 months and I'm so happy with the progress that I've made already. She does a great job of helping me focus on the right things to build a foundation. She also is always able to pull out different cues to get me to explore new places with my voice, if that makes sense. Definitely recommend!

Emilia has a great sense of what needs to be done in terms of practice and skill work which makes for a very productive session every time. She is well versed on technique and is an incredibly attentive teacher who has given great consideration to my development as a singer, especially while catering to my need and learning style for tactical and methodical instruction.

TOTALLY connected with my daughter right off the bat! Very encouraging and motivating and used fun examples to connect and get our daughter singing right away - no shyness, which was a concern of ours. Our daughter is now even more excited about singing, and we didn't think that was possible! Thank you, Emilia!

Before I started to work with Emilia, singing was my hugest anxiety. I felt I had to be a certain way or I was all wrong. My first lesson with her I already had a great feeling about the skill I always wanted to do. First of all she has a very positive attitude that really made me understand its ok not to be perfect at first. She helped me understand the technique and just to be myself. I realized in less than 5 lessons I was seeing improvement my confidence like I never seen it. I HIGHLY recommend Emilia.

I just had my very first lesson with Emilia and it was awesome! I was super nervous and she made me feel amazing. She spent time explaining the fundamentals of singing (breathing, posture and relaxation) and built my confidence throughout the lesson. I am so glad that I decided to put my nerves aside, embark on this journey and I am Very very happy to have the wonderful Emilia as my teacher.

What an amazing first lesson! Emilia managed to get my 10y/o who has never held her oboe let alone played it to make sounds really close to beautiful oboe notes in 40 minutes. Even better, she wants to practice over the weekend and is enthusiastically sharing lots of facts about the oboe. All of this through distance learning. Wow! All of this to say that Emilia is a wonderful teacher!

I'm an adult that wanted to come back to the oboe world after I stopped in highschool and Emilia has been wonderful. She's given me the direction that I need to get back on my feet and she's open to discussing any music questions that I have. She's laid back so it's easy to make a schedule that works for both of us. I highly recommend her.

Emilia is simply amazing. Not only is she sweet, patient, caring, and kind, but she's also incredibly knowledgeable and talented. In just a few weeks, I was able to see a vast improvement in my singing. I couldn't be happier to have her as my teacher!

She's a great teacher. She's really understanding and helps you understand how your voice works. From just a few classes that I took with her I learned more than I had known before and she's just a really great teacher including for people beginning how to learn to sing.

I have had the opportunity to both study voice with Emilia, and observe her direct the children's choir at a local church I work at. Emilia is like a ray of sunshine and children just seem to gravitate towards her. She is very patient and encouraging and is able to connect well with her students. Having studied voice myself many years ago I decided to refresh my skills by studying with Emilia. She was able to pin- point some bad habits of mine right away and help me to overcome several obstacles I had been having with my voice. I highly recommend Emilia Lopez-Yanez to any prospective student, she is a delight to work with.
