Hi, I'm Vielka.

Like your child, I loved to sing and wanted to learn more. 
Once I started, it was a long, often confusing path to really owning my voice. 
Now I'm being the change I want to see in voice education.
My mission is to empower children by nurturing confident voices for life.

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
​by 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.

The vocal techniques my daughter learned gave her the skills to participate in chorus rehearsals for many hours at a time and
sing with confidence without straining her voice.

Like most overscheduled kids, ours have cycled through a LOT of activities. I have to say that Young Singers Academy is so, so special and powerful in our lives for helping our kids find and cultivate their voices. AND - it's one of the activities that has actually translated gorgeously to the quarantine context.

Vielka understands the importance of vocal technique and is incredibly well trained in her field.

Her concepts are easy to understand and she knows exactly what to say to get your voice where it needs to be.

​Not only is she a great teacher, but she is a kind and caring person, and I can’t thank her enough for all of the knowledge and opportunities she’s given me.
