If you sing for fun or want to share your talent with the world then I am here to help you!
Welcome!
Welcome to Westchester Voice Lessons where we have the great pleasure of sharing my love of music and singing with students of all ages and abilities.
What the Studio Offers
Singing lessons that are tailored to the goals and desires of each individual student, offered in a stimulating and supportive environment.
What to Expect
During our time together, I will help to safely guide you through the technical foundations including breath support, ear training, rhythm, intonation and diction. Lessons with me will also feature a mixture of functional vocal exercises, body awareness, solfege, finding repertoire together, song interpretation and audition and performance preparation. The first half of the lesson we'll do a quick check-in on how you're feeling, followed by some stretches and custom exercises that encourage a balanced, healthy, and expressive sound throughout your vocal range. And the second half we apply it to the songs that YOU want to sing!
For my younger students I believe that a child's voice lesson should be fun! I keep them entertained by engaging them in a playful way by using simple songs, games, and pick exercises to aid in developing a musically tuned ear. I will suggest age-appropriate repertoire from pop music, folk songs, Broadway and more!
Through our journey together, I am dedicated to empowering my students to achieve their goals by de-mystifying the act of singing. I use my voice, education and experience to help and guide all my students to find their true, efficient, powerful and healthy voice!

science, vocal hygiene and medical information. It promotes technical security, stylistic accuracy
and personal satisfaction. It honors the wholeness of healthy vocal use and the individuality of
every vocal artist. It was developed to address contemporary commercial music but encompasses all styles.

KIND WORDS
"Our girls - Nia and Cassidy love to sing! Angela has taken it to the next level - giving them structure and guidance. They can't wait for their lessons with Angela and they always leave their lessons skipping, smiling and singing! Angela makes singing fun! We really see the improvement in both our daughters!
-Jason & Willeatha Labate
My daughter began working with Angela during the early days of lockdown. Angela was a bright spot every week and my daughter looked forward to her lesson. Not only does Angela work with her on singing and piano but she always encourages her and works with her on having confidence too. We are so lucky to have found such a knowledgeable, patient and compassionate teacher.
