TESTIMONIALS

---

"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."



​–Lilla Crawford, Actor
Credits include: Annie in Annie on Broadway; Little Red Riding Hood in Disney's Into the Woods with Meryl Streep

Vielka set me up to live a fulfilling life as a singer: some of my strongest friendships formed through my college theatre company, Penn Singers, when I attended The Wharton School, and I am performing to this day with the Village Light Opera Group
​-- almost 20 years down the path we started together."
​–Lauren Amira, Former Student and Marketing Consultant 

Voice lessons with Vielka were “instrumental” in making my son's gap year a tremendous success both musically and socially. And his gap year also included two amazing internships, a video editing class and an exciting trip overseas.

Now he's at college and doing well. He even started a band! At family gatherings we have a blast when his brother plays the piano and he sings."
–Mom of 18 Year Old Son

I...truly credit you with Millie becoming not only more confident in her voice but more confident, in general."
–Kim Nemser, Parent 

My two daughters age 7 and 9 have grown so much as singers while working with Young Singers Academy. They have learned vocal technique and grown in vocal confidence. The teachers at Young Singers Academy are great with children and they bring an enthusiasm to every lesson!
–Sharon Lewinter, PS 3 Parent

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.

​Parent and Producer of Katy Perry: Making of the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show

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.
