You know when you find a hair stylist that you love, you never go anywhere else?…read more Juliana is that for me, for vocal lessons. Juliana is so so amazing. I had always thought I had a singing voice hidden away somewhere within me, and when I found Juliana, I knew instantly that she was the one that could help me cultivate it. I had talked with other voice teachers in the area, but none of them seemed to really care as much about my unique voice as Juliana does. She really listens, corrects, and explains things in a way that make so much sense to each person. Juliana is so motivating, encouraging, and an amazing vocalist as well. She has toured the world in such impressive and artistic productions, it's almost mind boggling that this woman is actually my teacher. I feel really blessed and grateful that I found Juliana and with her teaching, my voice has grown by leaps and bounds, not to mention my courage to sing in front of people. Not only did I find out that I do in fact have a pretty decent singing voice, but that I can cultivate and shape it in a healthy way, finding the artistry in my own unique voice. There are no cookie cutter lessons happening here. I cannot say enough great things about this woman and her teaching. The best.

After decades of wondering if this was something I would be able to do, Juliana made it happen for me. And it wasn't scary at all! She really pushed me in our sessions together so that when I performed, I had the confidence to stop worrying/thinking/agonizing and just sing. The other great thing about Juliana is that from the beginning, her natural warmth and humor made our sessions together very comfortable and unintimidating. I felt she really cared about my progress and I truly looked forward to every lesson. I highly recommend Juliana Snapper if you want to discover the singer within yourself.

Ethan is super patient. He structures his lessons around learning songs, which I love. I tried to learn clawhammer on my own for years with little progress. The fact that I can play several short songs already is just crazy. Couldn't recommend Red Pelican more.

Yep, out of the…read moreblue, at sixty-four, without any music experience at all, I decided to learn to play the clarinet. Does that sound crazy to you? It did to me. I wasn't even sure if it was possible. I searched online for clarinet instructions. Keep in mind, this was the middle of the current COVID-19 quarantine, so I wasn't surprised that all lessons were being held on zoom. My Google search gave me a couple of options, including Red Pelican Music. A couple of emails and phone calls. Later, I had my first class scheduled through Red Pelican with Ari Silberman, zoom lesson, of course. And it turned out great. Ari is engaging, supportive, patient. We've had twelve one hour lessons. I've gone from having never played a note to learning songs. In between classes, Ari is available to answer email questions, even over the phone, when my practice sessions became especially frustrating. When I started with Ari, he asked me what my goals were. I told him since I could not play at all right now, I'd like to be able to play badly in a year. Ari thought I was kidding, I wasn't, and he was confident he could have me playing badly in a short period of time and then we would work on playing well. So, what happened? I've made more progress than I thought I could. I won't be auditioning for the New York Philharmonic anytime soon, but now if anyone asks me if I can play an instrument, I can say "yes." In twelve short weeks, Ari has gotten me from learning notes to learning songs. This is a long review with a short point, Ari is great.

It was awesome taking classes with Lloyd! I am a vocalist hoping to learn guitar and piano from…read morescratch so I could get better at songwriting and production. Lloyd is clearly expert at both instruments and adapted the lessons to meet me exactly where I was at. It was especially helpful to bring attention to some habits I picked up from random self-learning; Lloyd immediately notices details that, when adjusted, makes a world of difference. Lesson plans were very flexible which was helpful when I was interested in many different things. He's very patient, easy to talk to, and makes things fun so I didn't feel frustrated being a stumbling beginner and was able to focus on refining skills :) Looking forward to the next class!

Lloyd is an amazing teacher with a great ear and a clear, approachable way of explaining things. He tailors each lesson to what you're interested in while still keeping everything structured so you make real progress. He will record a lesson summary for you at the end of each session, which is incredibly useful to look back on and makes practicing so much easier. On top of being a talented musician and teacher, Lloyd is just an overall great guy - easy to work with, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your growth. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their voice, guitar skills, or both! :-)

I am definitely a better singer for having worked with her, but best of all, I feel joy (rather than shyness and embarrassment) when singing in front of others.
