Program Teachers
Hey y’all! We have these great teachers who we’ve hired in 2026 and are going through our studio mentorship program. Of course, they all have vocal masters degrees in vocal performance and are totally over-qualified to teach at any other Midtown Manhattan studio – some have degrees in vocal pedagogy. Our mentorship program is a couple of years, and during that time you can score sessions for $89-95 each. All teachers specialize in non-classical styles, but classical singing lessons also available. Here are our awesome Program teachers:
