​

Is your child realizing their singing potential?


The truth is: if you can talk, you can sing!

It's not wishful thinking...it's science and muscle training.

​By age 7, most kids have decided whether they are a "good" or "bad" singer.

With guidance, singers overcome roadblocks gaining competence and confidence!


Everyone Has A Voice.

Find Your Voice.  ​Find Your Power.

About YSA Founder, Vielka

"Who knew my 5th grade chorus solo would pave my life's work? As a sensitive and shy child, that moment on stage helped me connect with myself, my peers, the audience and my purpose. I found a new confidence and new friends as a 'singer'.   

I'm paying it forward by closing the information gap that exists in voice education for children.  I've helped over a thousand beginning singers learn to soar and develop clear, powerful voices by learning healthy habits from the start. I've repeatedly seen the "shy" kids conquer fear and take the stage, and out-of-tune singers get in-tune.

​Finding confidence, connection and breakthroughs from a young age...that's what Young Singers Academy is really about."

Where do I begin. 
It's so much more than just voice class.....
it's a lesson in life on how to challenge yourself,
​how to prepare yourself and how to present yourself.

Our son is thriving at Frank Sinatra!!!! He auditioned and got into musical theatre which is what he wanted forever!!!!! He is now working with upperclassmen. He's in such a great place and is starting to open up socially. Thank you for such a great start for him - we will always be grateful for your time and expertise. You're an amazing teacher who gives the students that motherly warmth!!

We found Vielka's touch to be warm, gentle, and genuine: 
My daughter enjoyed the warm-ups, learning how to control her breath, and ‘put over’ a song with enthusiasm, and meaning.  
​We highly recommend her to children of all ages.

My daughter's two years of study with Vielka Kelly-Weiss has had the obvious effect – that is a remarkable training in voice. 

​But this training is about much more than singing; 
the benefit reveals itself in my daughter's 
increased self-esteem, confidence, discipline, 
​and the satisfaction of professional accomplishment.”

I just watched the video you sent of the girls and I have to say OMG.   I was so moved by how wonderfully they sang and moved in the most NATURAL  and COOL manner. They were all having such fun and really getting into their groove.
​Now I know why our daughter loved going to singing class.
