After five months taking lessons with Emily, I can say that without a doubt that I would never get to the level of technique and confidence I have right now. Emily has a lot of knowledge and experience, is thorough on her lessons, and is extremely encouraging, so much so that I’ve recently been through my first recital (organized by her) and had a blast performing individually, something I didn’t even consider doing before these lessons.
I started with the simple ambition of being able to sing with better technique as a hobby. I now have a newfound admiration for opera and a desire to go deeper and deeper into singing and music in general. And I owe a lot of this to Emily.

As a professional actress/singer from NYC, finding an extraordinary vocal coach is a needle in a haystack. I’ve seen over 30 coaches and Emily is BY FAR the best. She truly understands the anatomy of your unique voice and will tailor the lesson based on your needs. She is also an incredible vocalist with a deep understanding of all musical styles. The vocal adjustments she taught me were life-changing.

I was in LA for three months rehearsing for a contemporary new-musical. During rehearsals, I was having a lot of trouble with placement and breath control. I needed to see a coach ASAP. New to LA, I had no idea what to expect, but thank god I found Emily on Yelp. We trained nearly everyday to the point where she had improved my voice so much, our company’s director asked who I was learning from in LA. She then signed on as the production’s official vocal coach. The improvements are instant.

I’ve seen vocal coaches who are over $350 an hour and don’t put in half the effort as Emily does. She makes sure every note, every word, and every phrase is exactly how you want to sound. I was blown away by her ability. She also has one of the most angelic singing voices I’ve ever heard. It was such a joy to learn from her and to hear her sing.

I cannot recommend her enough.
