Matthew manages to balance professional/fun/inspiring/rigorous in a way that many music teachers…read moredon't quite get. My son started voice lessons at VOX via Zoom during 2020, transitioning to in-person for several weeks before heading off to college. He loved all of it and those Monday night lessons were a lifeline for him as his other choirs and school music classes were postponed due to COVID. His confidence grew, and he was accepted into his college's competitive top choir as a freshman (Matthew also helped him with his college admissions' supplementary vocal performance materials and he landed a vocal scholarship). The recitals are great milestones and provide a real sense of community despite the age and experience differences. I'd recommend him to any one at any level.

I have worked with Laura on and off over the years- as a professional speaker, she helped me…read moreincrease my vocal variety and taught me how to project my voice to the back of the room (in such fun and interesting ways: "Money, Money, MONEY!"). As a professional singer, she has helped me safely roar out the rock tunes and ballads, and taught me how to smooth out my registers, etc. Laura is professional, competent, and knows how to help people with their vocal-goals! Highly recommended!

I started with Daniel just over a year ago, and he has helped me access parts of my voice I didn't…read moreknow existed. A few months ago, I literally felt a back room in my voice I had never accessed before. Without fail, either through lack of sleep, dehydration, the weather, yelling, or earlier bad habits, my voice has always found a way to be thrown off-balance. But those worries are now in the past. I've found a rehabilitation center, in the 45-minute weekly lesson, where my voice enters the hands of a vocal surgeon. I enter with a voice tensed up and short on range, and leave with an instrument I can be proud of. On top of all that, It doesn't hurt that Daniel's an all-around great guy, making lessons not only instructive, but enjoyable. 5 Stars. Highly Recommend.

I've been doing Skype lessons all summer with Daniel and have to say that my voice has made a huge…read moreimprovement. I sing with a lot more confidence and have genuinely enjoyed doing my daily exercises, which he sends me in an audio file after each lesson. He's a very good teacher: patient, efficient and has specific, substantive skills to offer. Rather than trying to teach me a specific style, he's helping me get my voice muscles trained up so that I'm more capable of singing in the style that I'm interested in. It's sort of like Physical Therapy for your voice. I've had a lot of music teachers over the years, and I really think Daniel has a strong gift for teaching!

We love Backbeat Music Academy! My daughter has been taking piano lessons there for over a year…read morenow, and we have had such a positive experience. She has worked with several instructors over time, including Bex, Ari, and Luciana, and every single one has been amazing. Right now she is taking lessons with Sam, and we highly recommend him! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always brings such a great vibe to the lessons. We can clearly see my daughter's progress, and it is obvious that he genuinely cares and gets so excited seeing how much she has improved (whenever she learns something new or finally masters a piece they have been working on, you can see the joy on his face). If you are lucky, you may be able to get a spot with him! NOte: He occasionally goes on tour with his band (which I think is awesome), but even when substitute instructors step in, the experience has always been great.

So if your kid didn't have time to practice that week, it's okay, there's no guilt trip. The emphasis is on fun and keeping kids interested in playing music. In fact, the teachers are multi-instrumentalists so students are free to explore many instruments.

I came to Elizabeth a complete novice with virtually no training. In no time at all, however,…read moreElizabeth Lavenue became the voice coach and a support system I didn't know I needed. Her unwavering kindness and support not only heightened my confidence in my voice, it elevated my confidence in myself. My journey with Elizabeth was both physical and deeply, deeply spiritual. Through repetitive vocal exercises I simultaneously built-up my range and broke down the barricades of self-doubt and hesitancy I didn't even know had been holding me back. I sing a lot now. I sing in my shower, I sing feeding my cat, I sing at work, I belt in my car, and, most importantly, I sing in front of others and don't give a darn what they think. Elizabeth will always be one of those special mentors. I'll never stop feeling thankful towards her and the gift that she gave me.
