I have been working with Danielle for about two months. I played musical instruments in my…read morechildhood and adolescence and have always loved singing, but don't have any formal vocal training. Voice lessons seemed like a great and portable way to bring music back into my daily life without committing to an instrument. In my experience, Danielle is a phenomenal voice instructor. She quickly figured out what I could already do and where I needed help to grow. She helped me pick songs that fit my style and vocal range. We have worked on several songs and I've found one that feels like a great fit. It is a pleasure to sing! Danielle combines all elements of a professional musician's skill and experience with authenticity, kindness, humor, humility, playfulness, and encouragement. When she says her lessons are "judgment free," she really means it. Initially I was afraid to sing in front of another person, and especially a singer as skilled as Danielle. It requires tremendous courage to sing in front of others. After the first session, though, I noticed that I felt so relaxed and relieved in my body afterward. That happens every time, like the lesson is a nervous system reset. If I come in jangled and heavy, I walk out joyful and light. What I didn't expect when I started is that the deeper gains that go with singing lessons--vulnerability, courage, creativity, and self-awareness, to name just some--are creeping out into the rest of my life. I am trusting my judgement more in my other creative pursuits, and seem to be finding my voice across a wide range of areas. There is something about this work that lets us access our spirit and express it. It's a profound and remarkable thing, and I had no idea my whole life would benefit from working with Danielle. HIGHLY recommended!

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.

He is a highly skilled musician with a deep understanding of both technique and musicality, and he has a real talent for tailoring his teaching style to fit each student's needs.
