I've had several voice teachers, and Sara is far and away the best, in a class of her own! Her knowledge and credentials are stellar, but what really sets her apart for me is her unfailing enthusiasm and psychological intelligence. She knows how to do battle with my inner critic and she always wins!! After a lesson with Sara, I always come away with renewed energy and confidence in the path I'm on with my voice. Lately I've had some leaps in my progress and I wouldn't have gotten that without Sara. Highest recommendation! read more

Sara is the best voice teacher I've ever had - and that's saying something! I've had good teachers in the past, but Sara's teaching style is refreshing and easy to understand. All the sudden you're able to access parts of your voice that you didn't know existed and it happens so naturally. I started seeing Sara when I was having some voice trouble. I thought my career was over, but instead I'm singing better than I ever have because of this Vocal Queen. LEGIT you need to see her!! read more

If you like crappy teachers, don't see Sara Leib. Sara takes an obscene amount of high-quality education (Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory) and incorporates it- entertaingly, enthusiastically, understandably- into whatever you're trying to learn. You're not going to get sleep-inducing lectures. You're not going to get some stilted, one-size-fits-all approach from Sara. You're not going to get some wacky archaic technique that makes you feel like you're on Mars. You will laugh, you will improve, you will be engaged, you will improve, you will be stunned at how simply she'll make you smarter, you will improve. If you're dumb and don't really love music, don't see Sara. Let someone else who gives a sh*t about music take your hour slot. Sara's busy. She is the optimal combination of knowledge, talent, and teaching approach. Check out her YouTube videos. What you see is what you get. Her genuine spirit and knack for turning the mysterious into Crayola markers is astounding. I've never had so much fun improving my craft. read more

I've studied with two other vocal coaches over the years, but never quite "got it" when it came to technique. I'm one of those people who has to understand the mechanics of a concept before I can put it into action (ex: understanding how the gears of a car with manual transmission work before being able to drive a stick shift). I can honestly say that, by studying with Sara Leib, I now get it. All teachers talk about the head voice, the chest voice, placement, the mask, the diaphragm... yada yada yada. But Sara saw and heard me struggling with some of these things and took the time to explain in great detail how all these things work within our bodies. She is such a great teacher, being able to break-down everything into bite-sized pieces that anyone can comprehend. After studying with her for just five months I can tell that my head voice is getting stronger (it's what I've wanted for decades!). Moreover, she is so knowledgeable about music (she has a very impressive educational background) that she's like my very own private music tutor. She's able to bring EVERYTHING together within my lessons to provide me with the most-rounded vocal/music lessons that I've ever taken. I can't say enough wonderful things about Sara and her abilities -- not to mention her down-to-earth personality and humor. She is exceptional and is the best vocal coach that I've studied with! read more

Sara is hands down the best vocal teacher I've ever had. Despite having had lessons for many years previously, Sara was able to teach me to think about my breathing technique in a totally different way, making me able to access and control my breath support much more easily in the first lesson. From then on she has taught me so much more in just a few lessons. Sara is both a lovely, warm and caring person with a wonderful energy and she is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable singer and teacher, and in just my first few lessons she has taught me so much about music and the voice which means every time I see her I leave feeling educated whether it be about theory, Voice health and care, breathing, or performance or more. I am so grateful to have found Sara as my voice coach and I highly recommend her. read more

Sara's got this amazingly obvious love for music and for her students as well. Her high energy and good humor, makes students of any level feel comfortable and relaxed. Her enthusiasm about music, whether it be about theory, technique or performance, is infectious. Her knowledge, extensive and her professionalism unmatched. And on a side note, I just love her studio! It's so cool, not just another room with a piano in it, like other teachers I've had in the past. This studio was designed to cultivate music and musicians alike! read more

Sara Leib is an incredible teacher, and you won't be disappointed. It can be so difficult to find the right voice instructor in Los Angeles; the perfect combination of professional singing experience and stellar education is rare. But Sara is that rare find. She received her training on the East Coast at Berklee and NEC, and she has been a studio singer and working professional for years. She emphasizes breathing and singing the natural, healthy way and explains technique in a clear, direct manner. She has helped me so much with relaxation techniques! On top of all this, she's a wonderful and kind person. Please go to Voice Studio L.A. and experience Sara Leib yourself! read more

Sara is a great teacher and an excellent musician. She's an ideal teacher for a serious student: She is encouraging and genuinely enthusiastic about her students. She has a great ear, a gift for explaining and demonstrating technique, and is a phenomenal singer. But to get to the point: I was a musician who couldn't sing. Now I can, thanks to Sara. read more

I have been through so many teachers. Some good and some bad. Sara is the vocal teacher you hope to find on that journey. Not only is she a phenomenal singer, she has a great talent for understanding what you want/goals in a lesson. She knows the voice and I think that is the strongest quality in a vocal teacher. Thank you Sara, you are wonderful to work with. read more

I first found Sara on Singing TV and couldn't believe she gave private lessons too. She's an AWESOME teacher. She's REALLY passionate and it's obvious that she loves to sing and to teach. We've made some really great progress. Thanks Sara! xoxo read more

Not just a brilliant teacher, Sara is an incredible singer too! But there are few teachers as intelligent AND nice as Sara Leib. She will spot your strengths and weaknesses and not make you feel bad about them. She knows a ton about preparation, about different kinds of music, and most important--she enjoys doing it! The best vocal coach I've ever worked with. read more

Sara is a breath of fresh air in this crazy city and an incredible asset for any vocal professional looking for a knowledgable, authentic, passionate, caring and talented teacher. I've recently run into a bit of vocal issues and I'm so grateful that Sara was able to help me navigate through a tricky situation so I could nip it in the bud before it became a bigger deal. It's so evident that Sara is a teacher for all of the right reasons - she's generous with her time and genuinely wants the best for her students. She's also very versatile as a teacher - she understands the mechanics of the voice and also has an extensive knowledge in music theory. I highly recommend Sara to anybody looking to become a more well-rounded vocalist. read more
