I've been singing since I was in high school, so I came in with some knowledge but I'm now doing things I didn't think I could do before. She's helped me strengthen my breath support, navigate my passagio better and find a healthy belt. I feel like I'm singing with a brand-new voice. I really appreciate the way she explains technique. Although it takes some practice to get the hang of things, her exercises really help to make the technique stick. Natalie is a great singer. She has a warm personality, a welcoming space and online scheduling. I can't recommend her enough!

With that said, I wanted to write this review because of the great experience we had with James.

I would highly recommend him for anyone seeking to improve their voice.

Breakthrough Moments From the Very First Lessons…read more I can't recommend Danielle LoPresti enough as a singing teacher. She is amazing--supportive, patient, and incredibly kind. Almost immediately after I started taking lessons with her, she helped me break through obstacles that I had struggled with my whole life. What I appreciate most is her holistic approach to singing. For me, it's about expression, not perfection, and Danielle truly understands that. She creates a safe environment where I never feel judged or rushed, which makes it much easier to explore my voice and grow with confidence. Another thing that makes her classes special is the community she has built among her students. She organizes opportunities for us to meet and perform, which is incredibly valuable. Watching and learning from others is inspiring, and it also reminds us that many of us share the same challenges--stage fright, nervousness, and sometimes the pressure of perfectionism. If you're looking for a supportive teacher who truly helps you grow as a singer and as a performer, Danielle is fantastic.

Alina is helping me with the intricacies of relaxed posture, bow hold, and elbow work for good violin sound. Because of Alina's expert instruction and encouragement, I am progressing after 4 short months of weekly lessons. I am playing from my church's hymn book in G major, D major and recently played violin for a group of fellow seniors and friends. I am very grateful to Alina Adam's for her patience in answering my many questions and value her attention to details and expertise in all aspects of music.

Shari is wonderful. She has been coaching my 10 year old daughter for several months now via zoom,…read moreand while zoom can be a challenge, my daughter has advanced rapidly, and has a real confidence in her singing that wasn't there before. Shari is not just guiding her singing, but teaching her about the science behind singing and music theory, empowering my daughter with knowledge beyond just "sing it like this." She's also very kind and patient, she treats my daughter like a colleague, not a kid. We love her, you will too!

This review is LONG overdue. I had the pleasure of working with Shari as my vocal coach for several…read moreyears. I stopped lessons a while ago due to my own scheduling conflicts, but I still hope to restart one day--I miss working with her! Shari is not only highly trained professional vocal coach but also an all-around wonderful person. She has a unique ability to connect with her students, no matter their skill level. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced singer, Shari meets you where you are and helps you grow in ways you didn't think possible. Her lessons are thoughtfully tailored to your goals, style, and voice, and the improvements I saw in my singing were incredible - several of my friends even commented on it. Shari's guidance had such a noticeable impact on the quality of my voice, and every session with her was the highlight of my week. She's patient, supportive, and so encouraging. If you're looking for a vocal coach who is knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about singing and vocal performance, Shari is the one. I cannot recommend her enough!

This is…read morea place like no other for helping children build confidence, and to learn skills of self assurance, projection, and stage presence, which help whether they go on in life to work on Wall Street, Broadway, or in between! Self confidence is something that so many children struggle with in this day and age, and the caring, amazing staff at J and S make sure every single child knows how special they are! In addition to the amazing plays the kids perform, J and S also has terrific summer camps and preschool/kindergarten programs. My son, now age 6, was involved in the latter prior to being old enough for the plays, and now all three older kids are in the casts, as well as eager participants in camps. My youngest, now age 4, can not wait to go to camp next summer! The hearts on the staff of J and S are so open and caring and full of love for these kids. They all truly want to make a positive difference in their lives. I for one can say that my kids have not only gained skills in acting/singing and stage performance, but have gained invaluable lessons in self confidence, respect, and teamwork. Thank you J and S, for being such an amazing part of our kids' lives!

The Employees are competent and know what they're doing. The shows they choose are fun for all…read moreages. The problem comes in when it comes close to show time. The Employees run their shows in a totalitarian manner. By which I mean any small complaint or note you have is taken as a great offense and disrespect and grounds for dismissal from a show you PAID TO BE IN. This is possibly understandable in the young kids show but insanity for a teen show. Worried you'll trip of your costume is made longer in the front. Rude. We're in the bathroom when you were called on stage during rehearsal. How dare you, better not defend yourself. The workers are nice up until the end and then no matter how good you're doing they become impossible. I feel lucky I aged out and can't return because I don't think I could manage being in another show. Another note. They recently lowered the age to enter the teen show and expected the tweens to act with the maturity and awareness of high schoolers. A standard while not impossible is difficult to meet.
