Meet Our Amazing Faculty

My daughter's years of study with Vielka 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.”

–Carrie Rebora Barratt
Parent & CEO New York Botanical Garden​

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.”
