- Martin L reviewing Ellie
“Not only is he a great teacher,he is a wonderful person and brings so much joy to every class.
“As a naturally shy person,it typically takes me a while to feel comfortable around someone,so I was pleasantly surprised at how effortlessly he made me feel at ease.”
-Audre reviewing Lothair
“Eleonor is the best vocal coach I have had…She teaches you techniques that no one has ever taught me and no one probably even knows about.”
- Brittany reviewing Ellie
Singer-songwriters will feel at home at Singing Lessons NYC. Bring your guitar or just yourself and learn techniques for singer-singwriter pop and rocks styles!
“Eleonor improved my skills like no other. I was shocked that she was able to help me improve skills enough to perform live with a choir. Everything from my tone,vocal range,sense of rhythm,and pitch have improved in such a short period of time. Her techniques are fun,funny,and yet incredibly effective! I highly recommend.”
- JP reviewing Ellie
Having a hard time delivering songs in a soulful way? Lothair holds an MFA in acting from Carnegie Mellon,the #1 school for drama in the US and brings all that to bear on coaching clients to deliver impactful performances in rock,pop,jazz,blues,classical,and theatre singing.
“After just one lesson with Ellie,I had a stronger,more beautiful voice…I learned more about my voice than most of my other teachers taught [me] combined.”
- Matt D reviewing Ellie
“Practicing while following the advice he pointed out during the lesson,I suddenly found myself near 3-octave range within the first couple of lessons...On top of it,he’s also very funny and approachable.”
- Sak,reviewing Lothair
Most coaches just weren’t that effective for me. That is,until I went to Eleonor England.From the first time I met Ellie,I could tell she was a different kind of coach…about 3-5 minutes into following her instructions,she told me to sing. Whoa. There was a noticeable improvement in my tone and an ease in performance.”
- Charlie I reviewing Ellie
Learn from experienced professionals! Lothair has over 20 years experience as a professional singer,fronting bands,being a primary in a touring company,singing at church services. He’s also one of the most approachable and supportive teachers you will find. Even if this is your first excursion singing - and whether you have amateur or professional goals - he will gently guide you.

Welcome back to lessons in Jan 2019! For those who may be new to the studio,welcome!!
I am so proud to announce that Lothair Eaton is joining our studio! Lothair is AMAAAAAZE BALLS! Honestly,check him out here!
We’ve had some great results with former clients going on to nominations/wins/etc at:
the GRAMMYs
Los Angeles Music Awards
Chinese Music Award
The Voice,Superstar K
#1 album &song charting
We’ve also had amazing results and a lot of fun with beginners developing their voice for recreation or to move into being professional. Beginners with non-pro goals have:
Sang at their own wedding
Sang at a proposal
Become office karaoke stars
Gotten into audition-only choirs and community theatre
Gotten the band back together! :D
More
People have also:
Made the transition from classical to jazz,pop,or rock without sounding lame AF
Learned not to fear singing or speaking
Learned singing breathing for general well-being and stress relief
Overcome stage fright using mental training techniques
We love the variety of working with people of all different backgrounds,skill levels,and types of goals. Working with just pros or just beginners isn’t as fun as getting to work with lots of different people.
Our 3 commitments to you as a person and artist or amateur singer:
You will leave each lesson a better singer or speaker
You will leave each lesson feeling better emotionally and physically than when you walked in
You will learn techniques that you won’t learn at other studios
Our teachers choose to teach because it is actually really thrilling to get to hear the results right away,get to meet people and hear about their hopes and dreams and get to do concrete work toward getting them there - whether it is just to sing better or to cut a cd or make an audition. We love people and we love dreams and having the chance to work on them with people is a real privilege.

We Offer Something Unique in NYC
This is what makes us unique among NYC voice teachers:
We are priced very competitively. A lot of the studios offering singing lessons in NYC who,like us,have clients nominated for GRAMMYs,winning American Idol and Superstar Kauditions,hosting majour shows like The Voice,and selling felony quantities of records cost between $150+/session. But that sucks cause at those rates most peope can’t come in that often. We want you to come in and learn some stuff. Your skills and success are our resume.
We are cost-effective. Many of our clients and past students have left reviews to the effect of one lesson here is more informative and useful than however many lessons/years/months of study at both cheaper and more expensive studios. Check out our reviews for more deets!
Just because you’re not a pro vocalist and regardless of whether you want to go pro or just for personal reasons,you’ll get treated the same. We love our star and pro clients but we also love our amateur clients and just really enjoy meeting diverse people from all over with different relationships to singing. We have clients who are devoted shower singers through international pop superstars. It’s the diversity that makes it fun!
Ellie &Lothair know what jazz is! Ellie sings it and Lothair grew up around it cause his dad is a famous jazz trumpet player in the Chicago jazz scene. This is especially helpful if you are looking for a jazz vocal coach or are in town for jazz vocal workshops.
Almost all clients notice that they learned how to make thier voice sound better in the first lesson. The first lessons is where you learn how to sing from your diaphragm correctly. Other ways to sing better and tips to sing better are given at each lesson along the way. We offer solid technique for all musical styles,which is how to improve your singing voice.
