“I’ve had 8 vocal teachers over the span of 14 years that come from Theatre, Choirs, Private lessons, etc. Cindy is the only one who has enabled me to make significant progress as a singer. Unlike most voice teachers, she doesn’t have a cookie-cutter approach when teaching her students. She analyzes my voice, makes thoughtful suggestions to improve relaxation, and tailors every lesson based on how my voice feels that day! If you’re considering taking voice lessons, look no further the best teacher is right here.”
“Cindy is amazing. My oldest son has been taking piano with Cindy for almost three years now. My son started when he was six and every week he looks forward to his lessons. I started taking vocal lessons a few weeks ago. I’ve been taking lessons since I was a child but Cindy is the best teacher I’ve ever worked with. Her techniques are incredible. I am able to see progress in every lesson. I have a lot more confidence now that I’ve been able to learn new techniques that don’t stress my vocal cords. As a growing artist it’s important to have great teachers and mentors; Cindy is definitely both. She knows her craft inside and out and teaches at the pace of each student with great patience. I am so happy I made the choice to invest in my sons future as while as my own. I can’t thank Cindy enough for working with the both of us. Cindy is a gifted individual and she’s sharing her talents through teaching....”
“After years of going through different vocal coaches in New York, while they were all good, I could never find one who truly understand how to contruct lessons that are tailor made for ones individual skill level, tone, range, and career goals. I am so thankful to have found Cindy’s Music School. Not only is she extremely skilled as a vocalist herself, she truly cares about her students and their vocal health. Each and every session was time extremely well spent, as I always left vocal class heving learned somthing new about my voice, and was extremely clear about what I needed to do in preperation for the next weeks lesson. Cindy has an amazing ear and will stop at no end to make sure that he students are hitting every note on key, without strain. Going into voice lessons with Cindy, I knew I would have my work cut out for me. I had a desperate desire to stretch my range which had previously been unexplored, to learn how to belt which I lacked confidence in doing, and to develop basic control while singing. Cindy had an excersise to help build vocal strength and technique for each of my goals as a singer, and I have seen improvement in all areas. Cindy understands how to develop vocal technique for all genres of music, my particular interstes are Soul, R&B, Jazz, and Reggae. It is very inspiring when your vocal coach is a great teacher, and has a beautiful voice herself. Cindy is serious about her craft, with the music education and resume to back it up. On the first day of training, she pushed me to be completely honest and trasparent about my goals as a singer, as it was the only way we could successfully move forward towards having the most productive teacher student relationship. Cindy is truly amazing at what she does, and I am more than grateful that Iistened to my intuition when I was led to ask her whether or not she gave vocal lessons after hearing her humming along to a song on key, with perfect pitch.”
“I have been singing for over 15 yrs and I have been to several different vocal coaches and I have to say Cindy is by far the best coach I ever had. She definitely has an ear for music and can hear exactly what is needed to make you a better singer from the first line you sing. I am so happy my manager found her. If you are looking for the right coach she is definitely it. :) :) :)”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cindy for about seven months. By far, she has been the most knowledgeable, experienced, honest and energetic coach I’ve worked with. Although I am an online student, the lessons I receive are no less than what an individual would receive in the studio. She consistently introduces me to techniques that I can use to improve as a gigging musician. She genuinely cares about her students and pushes you beyond your comfort zone. I would highly recommend her services to any individual at any level. ”
“Cindy is no doubt the ONE when it comes to piano and voice lessons. I have had piano and vocal lessons with other previous instructors in the past, but often felt discouraged, misunderstood and frustrated. However, Cindy literally brought my passion for piano and singing back to life! She’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate in her expertise, and she’s FUN! I look forward to each and every lesson. I have been taking lessons with Cindy for almost a year now, it’s the best decision I have made, and looking forward to many more. I’ve seen the improvement in both my piano and singing techniques, and learned so much. She is an inspiration to work with and committed to helping you achieve your goals as long as you put in the work and practice. Cindy is invested in your results and growth, once you start you can’t stop. ”
“My son has been taking private classes with Miss Cindy for a few months, first voice and then piano lessons. He has taken piano lessons before at another school, but he wasn’t enthusiastic about it, he didn’t look forward to taking class and it was a struggle to get him to practice.The biggest compliment I can give Miss Cindy is that when I ask my son how his class went, he says “fun”!! He practices everyday . . . without prompting. He’s always eager to play for anyone who’ll listen. He really enjoys the piano and he especially enjoys taking lessons with Miss Cindy. If you’re trying to find you’re child’s passion, Cindy’s Music School is a good place to start. ”
“Me being a contemporary vocalist(pop/r&b) with previous instruction, Cindy has been a much needed breath of fresh air. I’ve trained with other instructors and she is by far one of my favorites. They say a great singer is a great listener and Cindy proves this theory by attentively listening to your concerns and providing you with practical solutions. Her warm, energetic and passionate personality helps you feel more comfortable with trying new techniques without feeling embarrassed.I studied classical technique with previous instructors and I found that it wasn’t very effective for my style. Cindy immediately noticed this and has began to re-work my technique with challenging exercises that I can feel and HEAR the results from during studio sessions and live performances...which is where it counts honestly, and that makes me very happy.I love to constantly push myself to be better and I feel like Cindy understands exactly how to do that, which is why I feel confident in my decision of choosing her. I would definitely recommend her with glowing stars to any one in any style that is in search of an excellent teacher. ”
“Our daughter was very excited about her lesson with Cindy. She thought it was incredibly helpful, making singing “easier” in a single lesson. She also liked how friendly and positive Cindy was and how well she explains technique. She is asking to take many more lessons with her. Very professional and talented instructor. ”
“From the moment we walked in Cindy made my shy daughter immediately feel at ease. Her approach and ability to connect with students at any age (I overheard her lessons with an older woman), makes her a gem. She provided helpful tips to help improve while practicing. With each lesson, my daughter walked away feeling more confident and clear on what she needed to practice at home. I would definitely recommend her. ”
“Six words describe Cindy. I WISH I DISCOVERED HER SOONER! She is exactly what I was looking for in a music theory teacher for my son. The chemistry between them is fantastic. She customizes the lesson to my son’s needs. I have seen a major difference in a short period of time, with his sight reading, playing by ear, playing scales and chords. I would definitely recommend her and will be taking lessons as long as she is teaching. ”
“She’s pretty amazing. The perfect teacher in that she evaluates you and then makes a lesson plan based on this evaluation. She’s the first vocal coach I’ve had do this. The woman is amazing. ”
“I am writing this review for people like me to read :)When I first started taking singing lessons, I thought there was no way I could really ever be able to sing. Cindy has helped me to do things that I didn’t think possible - sing in key, sing different notes, and relax and enjoy it. I would give her 6 stars if I could! ”
“Cindy has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to singing and teaching in various styles. She has really helped me improve in the specific areas that I wanted to work on. I’ve already recommended her to my friends! ”
“I found Cindy’s Music School on Yelp and Thank God I did. She is very nice and professional. I take vocal lessons with her and occasional songwriting circle sessions and it has definitely improved my knowledge and skills in both areas. She doesn’t play with time, if your session is 30 minutes make sure you’re on time, cause if you’re late your time is minimized. Cindy takes notes and keeps a file in her computer on you to keep track of your strong and weak points. My very first lesson she told me to sing a song of my choice while she recorded me via her webcam. She then said “I like to do a comparison on how you sound now and how you will sound” she’s confident about her ability to help you improve and when she said that I was super certain that I made the right choice. I’ve been with her since August 25th and I am in Chest Mix, I didn’t even know what that was before her and I understand so much more now when it comes to registers. Yayyyyyy Do I recommend this business? Yes I sure do, it’s an investment and she gives quality service so it’s totally worth the money spent! #CindysMusicSchool”
“Where do I start?.. First off, let my say that Cindy is my very first vocal coach..and the search stops with her. The teacher/student chemistry we had was great from the very first lesson. She is great at listening to your concerns and helping you come up with the appropriate solutions. Coming into my 1st lesson, my biggest challenge was with breathiness..and Cindy attacked that right away by teaching me the proper breathing and warm up techniques. I also learned the difference between head voice and chest voice and when it is necessary to use them. I highly recommend Cindy as a vocal coach and I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with her in the future. ”
“What a great teacher! She has made me see my own potential....and has made me want to practice!! Cindy enjoys teaching and it shows. ”
“Ugh Music Theory is very difficult, but she made it so muchhhh more easier. She is very patient and kind. I love that she made sure i had a understanding of the concepts and notes. I would definately recommend her. I wish i discovered her sooner ! I had a great experience working with Ms.Cindy ”
