I've been working with Jonathan every two weeks for nearly a year (21 sessions) and I can say…read morewithout exaggeration that it has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I came to him singing light Irish folk and soprano church music. Through working together, we discovered I have a powerful rock voice. I genuinely had no idea. I also came to him with debilitating stage fright. That is gone. I performed the concert of my dreams with unshakable presence. What makes Jonathan exceptional isn't just his technical skill, although that is real and serious. It's that he works with the whole person. He 'sees' you in a way that is rare. Something about his presence and his approach creates the conditions for genuine change, not just vocal improvement. If you're looking for a teacher who will help you find your real voice, and I mean that in more than one sense, Jonathan is extraordinary.

I don't write a lot of reviews but I am so happy with the results of my daughters lessons with…read moreIrina that I am taking the time to write this. I have a 14 yr old daughter who's dream is to be on broadway. She loves singing but her passion is much bigger than her voice. I believe passion is something that should be nurtured so I spent thousands of dollars on voice lessons over the past 3 years. Emily worked hard. After about a year and a half of lessons, though, with a different New York based vocal school, she seemed to plateau. She still practiced all the time and loved it but eventually started to get frustrated. Finally she was passed over for any main singing roles in her school play, and it was the last straw for her. She came home and said she was giving up singing. And she was serious. This broke my heart. Not because I want her to be a famous singer, but because I know how much she really does love singing and her spirit was broken. Shortly thereafter I was speaking to a friend at work about our kids and he recommended I have Emily take a trial lesson with his daughters teacher, Irina Fields. I made the call and I am so happy I did! First of all Irina comes with "cred". She is cool and hip and pretty as well as being an accomplished artist. Emily loved her instantly. She has the patience of a saint and has the same passion for singing that I see in Emily. While studying with Irina, My daughter has become very knowledgeable about the intricacies of this technique called "Bel canto". She does drills every day and not just singing drills. I see her laying on the floor practicing breathing and she describes in detail the science behind singing with this bel canto technique. She is full of passion again and it's awesome. It's been about 9 months now since Emily started lessons with Irina and the results have been nothing short of amazing. I can clearly hear a dramatic difference in Emily's voice and more important, in her confidence and happiness. Thank you Irina! (Voice whisperer!)

I had a huge phobia of singing in front of people so I went to Irina for direction on where to begin. She has an encouraging and informative, grounding presence and in just a few lessons of Bel Canto I feel as though I can go step by step to ease my fear of singing in front of others. She taught me proper breath support using my diaphragm. These techniques helped to make my voice sound bigger and clear even though I was nervous. I highly recommend her to a novice like myself or someone who is interested in Bel Canto technique to improve their craft.

In my interactions, I observed a lack of professionalism that deeply troubled me. It is disheartening to report that the organization seemed to harbor a divisive attitude, projecting clear animosity towards anyone not belonging to the Jewish community. This lack of inclusivity raises serious questions about the organization's commitment to diversity and tolerance. For the safety and well-being of young ones, especially those from different racial or religious backgrounds, I strongly advise steering clear of lori fredrics My experience left me with a sense of discomfort and concern, and I believe it is essential to raise awareness about such matters.

She is able…read moreto adjust her teaching styles to what best works for the student (we are all very different in how we learn and what resonates with us). She does a great job of trying different analogies to help your brain relate to what you're trying to do with very precise movements that you cannot see easily. I was very impressed with her patience as well - I was terrible coming into this, and I improved dramatically. She also is very motivational and keeps you from beating yourself up too much - learning to sing can be a frustrating experience and it helps a ton to have a coach that sees the best in you. She is also a very friendly and great person - highly recommend.
