Testimonials

 

“I’ve been a professional actor/singer for over 50 years, including having done two leads on Broadway as a singer. Genya is an excellent voice teacher, one of the best I’ve ever studied with. She is a master at simplifying things and stretched my voice faster than anyone I’ve ever studied with. And she’s a lovely person!”

— Roger Rathburn, NJ

 

“Genya is a miracle worker! She quickly identified the causes of vocal problems I was experiencing and targeted our work on correcting them. My voice (and bad habits) began turning around during the first session, thanks to her choice of exercises and unrushed, step-by-step diligence. She balanced focus with humor and great supportiveness. My lessons with her were the most transforming and empowering I have had in years of studying with a variety of teachers. I highly recommend her!”

“My daughter asked us for a few singing lessons as a birthday present. She wound up loving her lessons with Genya so much, learning such a great deal and acquiring such a love for the art that she has continued for close to a year. Prior to her lessons she had refused to use her lovely voice to sing in public; after studying with Genya she has sung for many different audiences and won her middle school singing contest. I think she will love and appreciate singing for the rest of her life now.”

“Genya was always a very warm and inviting teacher. It was easy to tell that she was really experienced and had the best skills to teach each of her students. I developed a new appreciation for singing when I realized how much one can express themselves through it. I went from having crippling stage fright to loving performing. She possesses all the traits I would look for in a teacher.”

— Olivia S. (age 14); Verona, NJ

 

“Genya is a rare combination of artist and teacher with a touch of playfulness that makes the wonderful but challenging task of learning how to sing a delight. The joy that she gets from teaching and singing is contagious and inspires all who work with her and her warm sense of humor and ever present wit are the extra gifts that every student and colleague is treated to.at no extra charge!”

— Deborah F., NJ

 

“Genya is so much more than a voice teacher! She came into my life at a time when I had given up on my voice, feeling like I was too old and having struggled with throat issues to the point where I thought I had lost it forever. Genya gently and so brilliantly coached me back to the point where I not only felt confident, but she even made me reach a range I never even knew I had! She took a holistic approach that melted away all my fears and bad habits until I was REALLY finding my true voice! Only a few months after working with her, I recorded a CD and had one of my songs featured on a hit TV Show! Genya pulled that ability that was lying dormant out of my shell and truly saved my musical life! She is an amazing teacher, mentor and soul!”

— Mitch S., FL

 

“What a great learning experience! Genya is a highly skilled singing teacher who can actually make drills fun. She has a way of describing the process that can turn anyone into a singer.”
