Montclair Voice Studio Distance distinguishes itself from other studios in providing a most optimal and holistic learning environment. Each student is fully assessed and given the tools to identify and correct “weaknesses”, build upon strengths and cultivate ones’ scholarship all while encouraging one to connect with the best opportunities for one’s own artistic/recreational/professional development. I truly cannot say enough about what a wonderful and RARE gem and model is found here. They see you at your best potential here and you leave the studio reaching that potential! Isn’t that the point of learning?!!!

Michelle has changed my voice for the better, and my life. Her style of teaching is transformative. Working with her, not only did we delve into vocal technique and vocal agility - she also explained the various parts of voice anatomically and how they work together to create sound. Michelle also worked with me on building confidence as a performer, and what it means to really SING! I do not have enough words to explain the profound change she has made. She can work with beginners, those who are more intermediate, and even those who are advanced looking to improve their performance. Her teachings are beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. 10/10 highly recommend.

When I came to Zoe a couple of months ago after a long hiatus from formal singing, my throat felt very tight--my range had gone down to just over an octave. A couple of months later, I can sing nearly three octaves, and my voice is more relaxed than ever. I've found my falsetto, and every week my voice is more resonant and free. Zoe is incredibly knowledgeable about the voice both from a technical and a practical perspective. In lessons, she is careful to differentiate among the things she tells me what is actually (physically) going on with my voice organs and what is merely a feeling or a metaphor she is using as a didactic tool. And that is just a small testament to her technical knowledge and the way she uses it with her students. She also has a wealth of personal experience and anecdotes from her years teaching students. It seems every hiccup I've encountered, she has either personally dealt with it (such as unlearning certain common but unhealthy vocal techniques) or has had students with the exact problem. In addition to her impressive resume and evident teaching ability, she has been very considerate and understanding with me, while maintaining high and professional standards for the quality and work she expects out of me. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough.

Toni Marie gave me many options for scheduling my daughter's first lesson. During the lesson she was so friendly and made it really fun for my daughter. She was very knowledgeable and I'm excited about my daughter's opportunity to learn from her. Also - her singing voice is gorgeous!

Austin knows what he is doing... just love the depth of information and resources he provides in his Lessons. Theory, performance, practice tips and overall lesson objectives make this 61+ year old just love taking lessons with Austin.
