Leryn has unlocked my voice! She has given me the tools and education necessary to navigate my instrument with dexterity and confidence! My voice is stronger and healthier because of my work with her.

Leryn's incredible skill as a singer herself, coupled with her expertise in vocal pedagogy is unmatched. Each lesson I have with Leryn is catered specifically to me. I have been having the best time trying new exercises with her that I have not tried with any other voice teacher in my 20 years of taking private lessons. Leryn's enthusiasm is contagious and I absolutely recommend all my colleagues study with her!

I have been taking voice lessons with Ms. Leryn for three years. She always brings a joyful and positive attitude to lessons. She has helped me improve my technique, warm-up exercises, and my songbook. I always feel very prepared and confident for my auditions after working with Leryn. Last year, she helped me prepare for my Charlie Bucket audition at the Paramount Theatre. The music was very challenging, but with her guidance, I was able to feel comfortable and confident with the material. She has also helped me with my diction and accents. I'm so grateful for Ms. Leryn!

Leryn has been instrumental in understanding my voice, navigating the NYC theater scene and being my own personal cheerleader! Lessons with her are fun, engaging and so educational. Leryn is an incredible role model and one of the most encouraging teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with!

Taking voice lessons with Leryn has been an absolute dream! Not only is she an incredibly skilled and versatile vocalist, but also an insanely prepared and expert-level teacher. She tailors her explanations to meet you where you're at - from hobbyist to professional vocalist - and they ALWAYS work! On top of all this, she's seriously one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Each lesson leaves me hitting new notes and grinning ear to ear. Can't recommend her enough, folks!

When I started taking lessons with Leryn, I knew I had found someone special. Her focus on anatomy has helped me gain a deeper awareness of what is happening in my body when I sing, allowing me to make conscious adjustments and refine my sound… Every lesson we continually work on improving my head voice, and I have been amazed at how much more accessible and natural it feels with each lesson. She knows exactly when to push me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to trust myself and reach new heights. Leryn’s kindness and warmth create a nurturing environment where I feel comfortable and supported to explore my voice.

I love training with Leryn! Right from the start, she creates a learning environment that is warm and welcoming. She has a deep knowledge of the voice as an instrument and is an incredibly talented singer in her own right. She has given me tools and techniques that I've never learned or grasped previously and takes the time to explain each one in a way I can understand. (I ask a lot of questions!) I always considered myself a dancer first, but the more I train with Leryn, I notice my mindset is shifting. Because of Leryn's teaching, I'm excited to continue learning and growing in my confidence as a singer!

Leryn has such a command over both the science and the emotional substance of singing. She is kind, discerning, and an immensely talented vocalist in her own right. These qualities make every lesson a breath of fresh air amidst an otherwise tough and unforgiving industry. She’s teaching me to get out of my own way, and in every lesson I feel as if I’ve taken a big step forward on that mission. I’m not sure you can do better than Leryn if you’re looking to take your singing to the next level.

What I love most about my lessons with Leryn is that she cares for your growth. Each lesson I feel like I learn something new because Leryn will get you on your feet (or on the floor!) trying something different. She uses a variety of tactics to help you reach your goals. She knows her stuff and is your biggest cheerleader!

Leryn has changed the way I approach singing and practicing! I have so many more tools to add variety, color, and emotion to my songs. I can navigate the difference between mode 1 and mode 2 where I couldn’t before. I have stretched and grown vocally in ways I didn’t think possible.

After taking a long break from singing, Leryn gave me the confidence and skills to rebuild the muscle. I continue to learn something new about my voice, vocal technique, vocal science, and myself every lesson. I feel very taken care of in terms of finding vocabulary and methods that resonate with me. Leryn’s energy and approach keep me wanting to continue singing and improving. Not to mention that she is a lovely human being.
