I'm a classically trained instrumentalist with a Master's in…read morePerformance, and getting back into singing felt intimidating - I knew I'd need someone truly special to guide me. Felicia has far exceeded my expectations. Working with her, I've learned more about the intricacies of my own body and how to look within to find different colors, textures, and resonance. She's so much more than just a music teacher. She's an explorer and detective, helping me uncover my own voice and capabilities. There are moments when I'm in awe of the sound coming out of my mouth and even say out loud, "Where did that come from?!" I've also struggled with tension in my voice, neck, and shoulders, and vocal care is something Felicia is deeply passionate about. As someone who's dealt with performance anxiety, I used to feel safer "hiding" behind an instrument. Singing has always felt much more vulnerable. But lately, I've had the courage to sing for friends and family. I'm finally starting to trust that I'll get to a place where I can perform in front of a crowd with confidence, no longer feeling the need to have something shield me. I've worked with many musical teachers over the years, and Felicia is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!

When I was in junior high school and happened to sing a line on the bus, a classmate said "you have…read morea terrible voice." It was over 30 years before I tried singing again. Felicia helped me find and develop my voice, and helped me discover the confidence to use it! I now regularly perform at open-mics and have even played a few gigs! Felicia combines a deep knowledge of the technique and physicality of singing (as well as a mastery of music theory) with a seriously effective teaching style. She's a master at meeting the student where they are; providing clear explanations and instructions; giving specific practices that yield real results, and making the whole process feel comfortable and fun. I couldn't recommend her more highly for anyone who wants to learn to sing or improve their singing. A+++

I had a lot snide comments made towards me by Jennifer, some of the instructors and their ersatz assistant. I had an instructor who would keep me waiting for my lesson while he was talking on his phone. He was not apologetic at all and acted as if he was doing me a favor. Very disrespectful. These teachers don't care about their students. They came to New York disillusioned with stars in their eyes and only taught for the money. You may have been a star in your home town but in New York you are just one of the many. So I suggest you humble yourselves. Bunch of disrespectful phonies who don't really know how to teach a healthy vocal technique. It's all a one-size-fits-all approach. They just want you to keep spending more money. It becomes like a cliquey cast B version of Glee with their pop choir and Artist's Training Program. I am just so sorry that I wasted my time and money with this school. Oh well! Live and learn. I am so much happier with New York Vocal Coaching.

I've been working with Ellie over Skype only over the last 1.5 years. I have taken around 35-40…read morelessons from her over that period. I've always loved to sing but never taken formal lessons. Let me start by saying that Ellie is an extremely perceptive teacher that - as shocking as that is - notices more about my posture and body tension over a Skype connection (often a crappy one) than I initially noticed myself. I didn't know how to breathe properly - Ellie taught me how to breathe. I have tried taking lessons with other teachers and I heard comments on how good my breathing is. I have found that learning to breathe properly gave me a deeper, fuller sound. Ellie's perceptive instructions helped me eliminate tension and bad singing habits. I love the exercises she gave me, they are fun to do and really build the voice. Doing them over and over again helped me build both my speaking and singing voices - with much less tension. Ellie is also careful when teaching. I had a bad vocal injury from another teacher that rendered me unable to sing for around 6 months. Ellie was very supportive and helped me rehab my voice. I really appreciate that Ellie is kind and careful and makes sure we don't do anything that could mess up your voice. Finally, I really enjoy every lesson because we start with various scale exercises - each time I learn how to use my body/voice properly. At the end we sing a song of my choice to a karaoke track that I play. This makes lessons a real vocal work out, challenging (but safe) and also great fun because I get to sing the songs that I love. I am bilingual and I love that in addition to all the English songs that I love I can sing songs in my native language - and Ellie is totally on board with that. Finally, Ellie is a very kind, fun person with an amazing sense of humor that immediately puts you at ease all while giving you valuable feedback that you need to hear! I would highly recommend Ellie as a singing teacher, she taught me skills that will last a life time - my ease, resonance, and fluidity in both my speaking and singing voices had increased dramatically. You cannot go wrong with Ellie as your technique teacher.

He was fantastic. He went at a pace that worked for me and totally calmed me down as I was pretty nervous. And guess what? I CAN sing but have been doing it wrong for all these years. He taught me how to breathe and that my range is actually much higher than I thought - it was pretty amazing. I went from nearly crying with fear to singing a tune pretty decently! I can't wait until my next lesson!!! And I am sure he is phenomenal with experienced singers as they can't be as hard to teach as I was! Thank you so much Lars!
