Singing Lessons NYC by Eleonor England is based in Manhattan NYC and founded on the principle that voice students should be entitled to get the best possible teachers at affordable price points and with especially caring teachers — AND on the principle that top teachers should be treated better than they generally are in most vocal studios. We believe both are possible.

How we price singing lessons is newly hired teachers give lessons at the very affordable rate of $385/mo or $103/session. They stay priced that way until they are full and then we move them into a price point that better matches their skill level. In this way, continuing students are grandfathered into their entry-level rates as long as they stay continuously enrolled – so everyone has access to some of the best teachers in the world.

We hire from the best vocal pedagogy (vocal pedagogy means how to teach voice) programs in the US including Columbia, NYU, New England Conservatory of Music, and more. All of Ellie’s associate teachers have at least a 2 year advanced certificate in vocal pedagogy, and most have at least a masters or a masters and a doctorate – that means a minimum in teacher training of 896.

Because of the 896 hours of teacher training we require, our teachers have about 18x the teacher training of what the best case scenario at other studios – and, in fact, more than Conservatories require for their teachers. Singing Lessons NYC has perhaps the most highly skilled voice teaching personnel among NYC vocal studios.

Furthermore, we’re so sure we can help you that we have a money-back guarantee on 1st lessons that you do not love. I mean love, not just like. I believe this is the only money-back guarantee in the industry. We don’t want your money unless you literally love your lesson – we check in with you after to make sure you do and offer a refund or exchange for another lesson if it was “good” or “okay”.

Our reviews are some of the most enthusiastic in the industry and I encourage you to check out our Yelp and Google reviews when you’re comparing studios because our clients are very enthusiastic about their loving their voice lessons.

We offer online voice lessons as well as in-person lessons in the cities in which we are located – including San Diego, NYC, Nashville, and others.

4worldlovers: I work with professional and burgeoning singers, bands, speakers, performers and entrepreneurs to balance and strengthen the human voice, resulting in both physical and energetic transformation.

I love singers. Truly, deeply. We are a breed like none other. Singers invest in the minutiae of delivering a song — dynamics, phrasing, tone, color, and emotion. We create and labor and refine endlessly with one goal in mind: connecting with total strangers. Why? Because we are compelled to elevate everyday life into something memorable and moving.

I love voices. The speaker, the author, the entrepreneur, the visionary: Those who have something to say.

As a vocal coach, I train my clients like athletes, because I believe that singers and speakers are in fact athletes. We work tirelessly to achieve small incremental nuances that ultimately transform our whole performance. From alleviating vocal fatigue to staying on-pitch, I know how to help you uplevel your voice into your most expressed self.

Because our instrument lives inside our bodies, we must learn to feel what is right along with hearing it, staying mindful of the edge of what is physically safe while masterfully breaking the rules to get the unique sound that is most authentic to the song or the inspirational talk, and always to ourselves as artists.

Voices are like fingerprints. They are utterly unique. Unlike most vocal coaches, I use two powerful tools — my extensive expertise in vocal technique and my deep level of intuition — rooting my practice in the parallel universes of science and metaphysics. In this way, I hear and feel simultaneously, and I help you to go deep to harness and truly own your voice.

4worldlovers: San Francisco’s premier vocal coaching studio, fostering a diverse community of singers of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Online courses designed to enlighten, enhance & ENRICH your vocal journey. Whether you’re a beginner singer, or a seasoned pro… The Empowered Voice Series is an excellent supplement to your routine practice!

Songbird’s new offering of online lessons has been SO helpful for me – I’m so thrilled that I can just hop online and learn! My teacher, Riley, has seamlessly transitioned from my in-person lessons to our online lessons, and it is such a JOY to get to work with her. I was originally curious/skeptical if online singing lessons were possible….. but I’ve been learning new things in EVERY online lesson, just like my in-person lessons, and having so much fun. I’m a believer!

I’m so grateful that Songbird Studios offers online lessons. I travel a lot and with recording and touring, online lessons help me keep my voice in shape even when I’m on the road. Plus, they are a great way to incorporate vocal rehab techniques while you’re recovering from a cold or flu so you don’t have to miss a lesson. I get a great deal of value from the online lessons and they work great for my needs. A+ for Songbird!

4worldlovers: Train your voice with specific techniques that help you attain resonance, projection and presence. These techniques works well for all genres—classical, jazz, blues, rock.

Work on vocal technique for specific pieces—so you get the role. With years of experience onstage as a performer and director, Marla knows how to make sure your audition piece will be musically well done, vocally well-spoken, and has what the director wants to see.

Actors doing just voicework will learn to project, resonate and sustain their voice to increase overall stage presence and effect.

Improve vocal resonance, projection, confidence, stage presence and the overall effectiveness of your public speaking. Using voice and breath techniques, you can make greater impact with your next keynote, meetup, or presentation to the Board,

"I truly look up to you in so many ways and am so grateful for your willingness to work with me in those beginning years! I now have 2 performing arts schools and am opening a new avenue of singing with orchestras and symphonies."

Marla is a gem of a person. I am almost reluctant to write this review because I am so worried she will become so popular and won't have the time for my daughter. But greatness has to be shared. If you want a master in voice technique and healthy voice development, Marla is the teacher for you. The way she has taught my daughter has changed her singing and made her increase her range and develop a healthy belt all in one year. She still has a long way to go but I am so confident that with Marla training her, she will only get better. Marla is kind, gentle, empathetic and so understanding of a singer's obstacles. She will work with my daughter in whatever genre she wants to sing and is completely supportive. We are just so lucky to have found her.

Marla is a great teacher, knowledgeable and direct. I have been her student for over 6 months and my voice is sounding more clear and strong. I was a beginner, not having sung since choir in childhood, but am seeing definite improvements after weekly lessons.

In one lesson with Marla, I learned about breath, sound and how to make different notes without hurting my voice. (I'm a beginner and have sang only in choirs before. I was also shy to sing out loud by myself.) Marla made me realize this can be a comfortable, easy and FUN process; and helped me see the capability in my own breath and sound and vocal chords. The technique she taught was effective (you just need to practice) and really fascinating!!!

When I started taking voice lessons with Marla I had no singing experience and a very limited range. 2 years later of weekly lessons the vocal transformation Marla has created with me is amazing. I can see the progress every lesson and she knows exactly how to challenge me while still going at the pace I need. I would highly recommend taking lessons with Marla no matter your experience level.

Marla made me realize this can be a comfortable, easy and FUN process; I was shy, but felt really comfortable during and confident afterward!

If you want a master in voice technique and healthy voice development, Marla is the teacher for you.

“More than ever during these crazy times I'm thankful for the gift that is McAllister Music Studio. My weekly lessons have given routine and stability to an unstable time and I'm so grateful for the continued sense of community! Thank you all so much! “

“We've been sending our boys here to work with Lizzie for around 9 years, and MMS has been nothing but warm, talented, flexible, and inspiring. We've witnessed over time our boys' authentic appreciation and passion for music deepen, and for this we're so grateful. They seem engaged with the online classes as well and with practicing throughout the week. We highly recommend enrolling in this course, as they also do a fantastic job linking the kids' musical interests with their learning. Well worth the investment.”

MMS offers both In-Person and Online lessons in piano, voice, songwriting, guitar, and music production to children and adults, from beginners to advanced musicians.

Through motivating (and challenging) private lessons, and consistent performances opportunities, our students gain confidence in themselves and in their musical skills. They receive the immeasurable reward of being proud of themselves, which creates a passion for life, instills in them a sense of contentment and confidence and in turn allows them to be inspiring for others around them. Their MMS teachers believe deeply in them, endlessly supporting their goals and dreams.

Ciara and the MMS teachers believe that music changes lives and changes the world, and we would love to work with you!

“Taking lessons here has kept me motivated to practice almost every day since I started a year and a half ago! Every time I leave my lesson I am filled with excitement and enthusiasm to practice what I learned that week. Before joining MMS I had tried similarly priced lessons elsewhere in SF and there was no comparison at all. I cannot recommend MMS enough.”

“MMS is amazing! We adore the teachers, staff, the program, studio environment, and the special events that they host, to build community with their students. My husband is a professional musician so we were very thorough when selecting a music school for our daughter.
