    Where do I even begin with the incredible Jonathan Stancato? He has been an absolute treasure of a…read morecoach, mentor, and overall fantastic human to have in my life--a godsend. A talented, intuitive, intelligent, encouraging, and impactful coach that has guided me to so much growth. His impact is vast and noticeable in both my personal, singing, and corporate/professional life. Jonathan takes the time to get to know his students/clients and is then able to truly show up for them--he's always present. His work is highly tailored and you can guarantee when you leave a session with him, you'll feel lighter, happier, stronger, and empowered. He taught me things about my voice, and how it translates to other (seemingly) non-vocally related aspects of my life; I'm talking eye opening, jaw-dropping type stuff. Over a year of working together on a bi-weekly cadence, the learnings are endless, awe-inspiring, and quite frankly, worth every penny and more. 5/5 stars doesn't feel like an adequate rating when you're talking about life changing work but, I suppose it'll have to do. In short, if you're considering hiring Jonathan, DO IT ASAP.

    I took a few voice lessons with Jonathan to improve my speaking and singing voice. I discovered…read morethat my real voice was much lower than what I was used to. To my surprise, many people have complimented my speaking voice since then. I considered the lessons as masterclasses as they were unconventional but extremely effective. Highly recommend!

    I have had a pleasure of studying with Evelyn La Quaif and I can confidently say that she is an…read moreoutstanding voice teacher. Her expertise, patience, and personalized approach have helped me grow tremendously as a singer.Evelyn has a deep understanding of vocal technique, from breath control and resonance to diction and pitch accuracy. Whether preparing for the roles she equips students with the tools to perform confidently, including stage presence and emotional expression. Her guidance will help you unlock your full vocal potential. Highly recommended!

    I am a practicing physician and a perpetual student of singing. For more than fifty years, I have…read morebeen continuously taking vocal lessons from many professional singers. I typically switched after three years when my progress would plateau after the same study routines. I have been studying with Miss Evelyn LaQuaif for the past 20 years and am happily surprised that in my mid-seventies, I am singing my very best and still improving. Most of my previous teachers gave me metaphoric inspiration, as I would hopelessly imitate their better voices. But how could I get there? Miss LaQuaif is the only one who taught me the physical mechanics of good singing. She offers details that are palpable and teaches hands on: "Belly breathing...use your ribs...your tongue is too loose...guide your voice with your hand...oh, you forgot to rest..." Miss LaQuaif is a multi-talented artist that has that rare talent and sensitivity to feel and guide the students' muscle coordination -- minute details of tongue, palate, throat, and diaphragm that are invisible to ordinary people's external observation. She has the ear and mental conception for what is naturally beautiful in the student's voice. Her method of teaching is creative and often changing. The result: a strengthening of the singing muscles and shedding counterproductive habits that have stood in the student's way. Throw in a little psychology, human empathy, and a profound respect of the art of singing -- then you may sense what Miss LaQuaif is like as a teacher. -JCWM

    Felicia is an absolute gem. I'm a classically trained instrumentalist with a Master's in…read morePerformance, and getting back into singing felt intimidating - I knew I'd need someone truly special to guide me. Felicia has far exceeded my expectations. Working with her, I've learned more about the intricacies of my own body and how to look within to find different colors, textures, and resonance. She's so much more than just a music teacher. She's an explorer and detective, helping me uncover my own voice and capabilities. There are moments when I'm in awe of the sound coming out of my mouth and even say out loud, "Where did that come from?!" I've also struggled with tension in my voice, neck, and shoulders, and vocal care is something Felicia is deeply passionate about. As someone who's dealt with performance anxiety, I used to feel safer "hiding" behind an instrument. Singing has always felt much more vulnerable. But lately, I've had the courage to sing for friends and family. I'm finally starting to trust that I'll get to a place where I can perform in front of a crowd with confidence, no longer feeling the need to have something shield me. I've worked with many musical teachers over the years, and Felicia is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!

    When I was in junior high school and happened to sing a line on the bus, a classmate said "you have…read morea terrible voice." It was over 30 years before I tried singing again. Felicia helped me find and develop my voice, and helped me discover the confidence to use it! I now regularly perform at open-mics and have even played a few gigs! Felicia combines a deep knowledge of the technique and physicality of singing (as well as a mastery of music theory) with a seriously effective teaching style. She's a master at meeting the student where they are; providing clear explanations and instructions; giving specific practices that yield real results, and making the whole process feel comfortable and fun. I couldn't recommend her more highly for anyone who wants to learn to sing or improve their singing. A+++

    I'm a contemporary pop singer and I've been studying with John off and on for over 20 years. He's…read morebeen vital to my work maintaining my vocal capacity as a touring performer. What he offers his students is very unique--a chance to really build your voice from scratch, understand and utilize proper technique, and go beyond what you think you're capable of doing. He's a highly experienced coach who will champion your progress and will encourage you to go far.

    Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I started lessons with John. Every other review (they're all…read more5-stars) is right on point. John's method is comprehensive and he explains what the process is every step of the way. It definitely seemed a bit unusual to me at first, because I hadn't heard singers do exercises like his before, but the results were undeniable. The improvement was noticeable right away, but the results only got better with time. It's worth it to stick with it for a long time to get the most out of it. His "voice-building" technique really works on a fundamental level, completely building great technique from the ground up. My projection, dynamics, pitch, breathing, sustain, and overall technique had a dramatic transformation for the better. I also didn't realize just how much it was possible to increase vocal range, but John's method will dramatically increase range. I can now consistently hit notes that I didn't think I was capable of before. I really can't imagine that you'd get these kinds of results from just any old vocal instructor. I did lessons for two years and consistently improved. The only reason I stopped doing lessons with him was because I moved away, otherwise I'd likely have continued for quite awhile. Highly recommended.
