Vielka Kelly-Weiss
Founder and Director, Performer, Mother Young Singers Academy was created by Vielka Kelly-Weiss, creator of Carnegie Hall's Music Educators Toolbox and Global K-12 Music Specialist at The Juilliard School. With 20 years of experience nurturing young singers, Vielka has pioneered a happy and healthy way to teach kids to sing with confidence. Vielka is the proud mother of Madison (11) and Wyatt (10) and resides in Greenwich Village with her husband, Andrew, and cat named Pigpen. |
"I can now tell you with absolute certainty, there's no good reason for kids to wait for private voice lessons. More importantly, I can tell you about the incredible impact of learning healthy personalized vocal habits from the start. I've had 5 year olds who sounded like smokers (for real!) and couldn't hit high notes, learn to soar and develop clear, powerful voices. I've repeatedly seen all the "shy" kids shake the fear and take the stage. Finding confidence, bonding and breakthroughs from a young age...that's what it's 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.”

We are blown away how you pull it all together and get our children to access something that they (we!) don’t know they have deep inside.

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.
