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.

I normally don't write reviews but everyone needs to know about Pearson Studios. I have been a…read morebroadway actor for 8 years, most recently in Beetlejuice the Musical, and I FINALLY found a brilliant vocal coach, music director, arranger and accompanist. But Scott offers so much more! Due to the pandemic everything has gone virtual and because of Pearson Studios I was able to pivot during the pandemic. Scott also has a state of the art recording studio and is a fabulous sound engineer and videographer. I now have a commercial voice-over demo (which landed me a commercial agent and a few v/o gigs), and also very professional self-tapes for my theatre and tv/film auditions. Not only does he offer his accompaniment and coaching skills, but he uses a professional microphone and protools, and a very fancy camera and back drop which totally ups my game! He also offers excellent acting coaching as well as acts as my reader. He is a one stop shop! Once I went to Pearson studios all my stress was taken away. I started receiving callbacks and just booked a brand new Off-Broadway show from only my self-tape submission. I can't speak highly enough about Scott. He is very professional and personable and makes music and theatre fun. I promise you'll have an amazing experience.

They literally just threw my…read morechildren 4 & 5 out of the school in the middle of a pandemic with no notice or time to change their daycare setting. If you are looking for daycare, the daycare teachers are amazing as they have raised my kids for 3 years. But if you are going to be doing virtual learning----don't waste your time. The director has no compassion or room for criticism. I got complaints from the PUBLIC SCHOOL of roselle which I shared with her in hopes of improvement since we have had a long relationship together of 3 years-----but she chose to blame my daughter who is 5 stating she had to figure out the schooling on her on and they are only there to make sure she sits at the computer. She refused to provide additional wifi in the school during virtual learning so all the kids cant even get their work done. She was heartless and rather than attempting to fix the problem kept blaming my 5 year old and literally called me and said----today is your last day. I don't want them in my school. unprofessional. lack of a heart. should not be running a business for kids. OHHHHHH---AND SHE HAS FIGHTS WITH HER TEACHERS YELLING AT THEM AND BELITTLING THEM IN FRONT OF DAY CARE CHILDREN. LETS NOT FORGET THAT.

I've been working with Kayla virtually for 2 years, and it's no exaggeration to say it has changed…read moremy life. Kayla has helped me free parts of my voice (and myself) that I didn't have access to before. I went from a traumatized former theater kid, only ever singing in the car, to performing rock music on stage and writing my own songs. Kayla isn't just a great teacher, she's also a wonderful human. She's endlessly supportive, funny, kind, warm, and knows exactly how and when to push me past my self imposed limits. Whether it's technique, confidence, or just being my authentic self, I have grown in more areas than I ever imagined I could. The most exciting thing is that it still feels like we've only scratched the surface of what I'm capable of! I love working with Kayla and would recommend her to anyone who wants to fall in love with themselves and their own voice.

I came to Kayla for my very first vocal lesson, having never sung before and honestly feeling quite…read morestuck. From the moment I walked in, she created a space where I felt safe enough to simply make sound out loud -- something that was both amazing and liberating. In our very first session, she asked me to say: "Hi, my name is Yunny. I am a singer and I have a beautiful voice." It felt surreal -- I had never considered myself a singer, let alone someone with a "beautiful voice." That small exercise opened a door to a whole new identity I didn't know I could try on. Each lesson begins with a simple yet profound question: "How has your voice been? What has it said to you?" It's such an eye-opening way to check in, and it has helped me hear my voice -- and myself -- more clearly. Over time, I've grown more comfortable with the sound of my own voice, and I feel more connected to it than ever. What makes Kayla special is that she sees something in you that you might not yet see in yourself. She guides with warmth, professionalism, and authenticity. Her teaching isn't just about technique; it's about creating a space where your voice feels free to emerge. If you're curious about exploring your voice -- whether you're a complete beginner like me or more experienced -- I couldn't recommend Kayla enough. She's not just teaching singing; she's helping people find their voice in the deepest sense.

They cheerfully ushered attendees to their seats if needed and when asked, they had the temperature adjusted. The restrooms are up on 2nd floor, so the grateful, less-sure-of-foot attendee might (discreetly) be allowed use of the private, employee facility downstairs. Smiles everywhere, and I REALLY liked seeing the security team! After the performance, two police cars were also at the curb out front and I asked an officer if I could stand there to try to identify the Uber I had called for. The officer told me to wait back on the sidewalk and HE would watch for and stop my Uber driver! He did, and even opened the car door for me! Sweet N.J.cop!
