Lindsey has worked with my now 28 year old son for the last 11 years and all I can say is that she…read moreis a miracle worker!!! While he was quite musical in a number of areas, he would often sing some of the notes of a song "a little sharp and curiously 'nasal'." With asperations of auditioning for musical theater productions, these were serious issues to be rectified. It is beyond my comprehension how Lindsey was able to train Ari's ear to sing completely "on pitch" and alleviate the less than musically attractive nasal tone. Eleven years later, my son has his own band and is highly regarded by his bandmates for the wonderful quality of his voice, as lead singer. And what about the nasal tone? I am no longer aware of it, in spite of his spring allergies!!! Lindsey is an incredibly perceptive and "person-centered" voice teacher. She takes the time to get to know her students and is sensitive to whether they're having a good or a bad day, as their current mood affects their singing. As an awarded, professional opera singer, Lindsey has all the tools, experience and compassion to help a voice student of any age, to meet his, her or their musical goals!

Though Alison is a performer and a teacher, I chose Alison Rizzuto because of her voice therapy background. I figured that her knowledge of vocal physiology would be an excellent resource to help me understand what was happening inside my body as I sang. And I was right, she knows a lot! Alison's background in classical, musical theater and operatic singing was starkly in contrast to my folky "conversational" style as she called it. But it was a benefit for me. I enjoyed the challenge of singing with proper technique that also helped me expand my range, control my breathing, project and build confidence that I was on the right track. Since singing requires no physical instrument (like a guitar) to buy and learn, we sometimes feel it's easy. And to a certain degree it is. But I quickly learned that to sing well required a lot of thought, discipline and practice. And it was all worth it.

One male teacher made my 12yo daughter feel so uncomfortable that we had to end the lessons. Another would just forget to come sometimes. The value is limited because their policy around rescheduling is so restrictive, even while their own instructors regularly move or cancel sessions. So if your child is sick or you travel or there is an emergency, you will still pay for the lesson. Even though it is convenient to have lessons in your home, the instructors weren't good enough to make this worth it over time.

The idea of ear plugs for his sensitive ears. Picking out songs he likes so he can learn them with other kids. His teacher is great! And he is really enjoying it! The lessons are twice a week so it keeps drumming in his head. It feels like he is on his way to be in a kid band instead of stuck in a sound proof room playing patterns. We are very happy with the whole experience. The office manager is professional, smart and well organized. The teachers are talented and good to the kids. We will be here for a while! I look forward to my son's concerts in the future! PS - we have been to several concerts performed by a plethora of students. Very cool. Great experience!!

I don't understand this place. I got an initial call back to discuss how the place works, but then…read morescheduling a trial lesson was like pulling teeth-- calling, emailing, finally texting. Took forever. Got to the trial lesson only to be told the person we'd worked so hard to get wasn't available so it's with so-and-so. Uh. Fine, but we picked the other person for a reason. And booked another trial with the original teacher, only to get to THAT lesson and realize it's still not the instructor we'd been aiming for. While sitting during the lesson, another student walked in and was told "oh so-and-so is no longer with us so this other person will be your teacher today." What? So you're not told ahead of time? (The mom asked when they'd known this teacher was leaving and it was two weeks prior, but they didn't bother to give anyone notice.) I find it strange that you pay in advance for these situations. Anyway. It's too poorly managed for me, which is too bad because it is certainly a great concept.

I hadn't taken lessons or been singing regularly for over ten years but Grace helped me tremendously. I took weekly lessons and now I sing with the National Philharmonic Chorale. Grace is an excellent instructor who helps vocalists strengthen and hone their voices AND she is extremely professional and personable. She has a holistic approach to teaching, which includes focusing on the physical aspect of singing (proper body alignment, breath, various muscle constructs/support, etc.), all of which positively impacts a student's ability to create sound. I have really benefited from her teaching approach by embracing and practicing her techniques and it has made all the difference. I highly recommend Grace and Gori Voice Studios.
