Voice Lessons That Inspire

Starting at age 7, voice lessons are all about building confidence, healthy technique, and self-expression. Students learn breathing, tone, pitch control, and performance skills—all while singing music they love.

From pop to Broadway, our instructors tailor each lesson to match your child’s interests and vocal goals.

Private Lessons + Group Experience

Singers ages 8+ join a band, pairing private voice training with weekly band-style classes. Students sing with live instruments, learn mic technique, and prepare for group performances.

This combination of solo and ensemble work builds confidence and keeps students motivated.

More Than Just Lessons

Open Mic Nights: Safe, fun performance opportunities every month.
Studio Sessions: Record vocals and hear growth over time.
Genre Flexibility: Sing what you love—pop, musical theater, R&B, and more.

Let’s Find Your Voice

Book a trial and start singing with confidence.

Packed with Technology

Our teachers use technology as a motivation tool to encourage students to practice. When a student does a great job practicing their assignments, they are rewarded with fantastic recording activities and iPad games for music theory reinforcement.

Student Centered Approach

The So i Heard Music instruction method puts the student first. Our lessons are heavily focused on the interests of each individual student, and our teachers custom tailor their lesson plans to teach the concepts that need to be taught using material that we know our students will love.

Technique & Theory Based

Even with all the technology and student-centered learning, our voice lessons are still focused on proper technique and music theory skills. Our students learn the right way, using modern supplements to keep them interested.

Hi, I'm Ava!
I grew up in Nutley, New Jersey and still currently live in Northern New Jersey. I got my bachelor’s degree in Flute Performance at DePaul University and have been playing flute for around 14 years now. At college I studied under the first and second flutists of the Chicago Symphony, Stefan Ragnar Höskuldsson and Emma Gerstein. I also specialize in Piano and Vocals. I have been playing piano for over 10 years now and have been singing since I was very young. I started teaching flute, piano, and voice in high school, and love to share the beauty of music making with others. Music is in my blood and is everything to me. I am just happy to have the opportunity to share it with everyone.
My Approach to a Typical Lesson:
In a typical lesson, my goal is to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where all my students would feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. The aim is to ensure that learning music is an enjoyable experience, while being encouraged to explore and develop their music abilities in a positive and nurturing atmosphere.
My Advice to Students:
Don’t be too hard on yourself, learning music takes a lot of time and effort. It’s important to not get discouraged if something seems hard at first. Everyone learns differently and learns at their own pace. Always ask for help, always try your best, and have fun!
My Favorite Local Places:
My favorite food spots are Millburn Ramen, Sum Ramen, and Fiamma Wood Fired Pizza.
My Three Tips for Success:
1. Stay Patient: Progress in music does not happen overnight. It takes a lot of work and dedication, always trust the process, and trust yourself. 2. Stay Confident: Believe in yourself and your abilities, even when you encounter a challenge. Confidence in yourself as a musician will push you through tough moments. 3. Remember why you love music: Music has a lot of ups and down, and it is not easy. When time gets tough, it’s always important to remember why you started and how much joy it brings you.

Hi, I'm Rob!
I am a multi-instrumentalist specializing in Drums, Piano, Guitar, Voice, and Music Production. I have been playing drums since I was 12 and piano since I was 8. I have performed in many different bands as a drummer, keyboardist and songwriter/singer. I have a lot of experience performing on stage and working in recording studios. I graduated from Music College in a degree in performance and music theory. I have been teaching for many years and love to share my passion and knowledge with my students. I have studied many different genres. From jazz and rock to classical and funk. I personally like to combine all styles and create music that is interesting and innovative. Also, having a good beat and catchy melody is most important! I think it's important to be influenced by many different styles and sounds. I look to instill this in my students and encourage them to think outside the box and explore different types of music that they normally wouldn't listen to.
My Approach To A Typical Lesson
Whether you're a beginner or experienced I like to start slow and get a sense of the instrument. We do this through fun warmups! For me it's all about music so I also try to get a sense of what kind of music the student enjoys. Listening to songs and understanding what the musicians are doing is a great way to becoming better at your chosen instrument.
My Advice For Students
Remember music is all about having fun. Relax, it's okay to make mistakes. Actually making mistakes is the only way to get better.

My Music
I currently play in a band called Moon Rabbit Retreat. If this doesn't showcase my skill set,I don't know what will. In the band I play drums, keyboards and sing. It's easier than it sounds!

Hi, I’m Rong!
I grew up in Shanghai, China, and began studying piano at the age of four. At fifteen, I was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, where I began my professional vocal training. Since then, I have gained extensive experience in solo and choral performance. My performance venues include Lincoln Center in New York and Shanghai Concert Hall in China, among others. I am now a singer and educator based in New York City. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice from the Manhattan School of Music, a Master of Music in Classical Voice from New York University, and a Master of Education in Music Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. In addition to my expertise as a classical vocalist, I am also skilled in piano and web design. During my undergraduate studies, I developed a strong interest in the intersection of music, psychology, and human development, exploring how music can support mental health beyond its artistic value. I also interned with several disability organizations in Shanghai, further deepening my commitment to the role of music in education and well-being.

My Approach to a Typical Lesson
My goal for each lesson is to make learning music fun and engaging while nurturing students’ musicality and sense of rhythm through playful, interactive activities.
My Advice for Students

Don’t fear mistakes.

Always believe in yourself.
