Resultive Voice and Piano Lessons by Alison Collins

My daughter has been taking lessons and I can see a significant improvement already. I am very happy with her lessons. She has taught my daughter breathing techniques which has helped her projection. I highly recommend her. She also sends an electronic recording of the lesson which is very helpful.

She is awesome.
Does a great job and highly recommended by piano dealers for lessons (Like Carnes Piano, Golton Piano and Yamaha Piano). Piano and voice is perfect because they utilize each to enhance each.
I you’re looking for a voice teacher or piano lesson program, this should be the one to consider. Prices seem reasonable too.
Singing makes you free!

I have enjoyed singing all my life, but at times felt frustrated by some limitations that got in the way. Alison’s novel approach to voice instruction put me at ease from the start and I have reaped the benefits of more confidence, range and strength in my singing. She somehow works a magical blend of gentleness and challenge into each lesson. In short, she’s a great teacher and coach!

I have been studying with Alison for over six years now and under her direction, have grown exponentially as a singer, as a performer, and as a person. She has a distinctive understanding of the voice and all it entails. As I have grown older, she has been able to teach me more about the functionalities behind the voice – so that I know how to work everything from my thighs, to my abs, to my lungs, to my vocal chords to produce the sound I am hoping for. No matter what condition I happen to be in the day of my lesson, she knows how direct my voice so that I will be able to achieve the optimal sounds – from making me lie on my stomach and sustaining notes to having me to pant breaths. She also truly matches the music that we work on the level that I am at and the challenges she believes I am ready for. Over the years, obviously that has changed. While I started with simple musical theater pieces, I have grown to the point that I am singing arias from Operas (and have even placed at vocal competitions in the aria division). She has also encouraged me to work in different languages – teaching me the vocal nuances of German, Italian, Spanish, French, and even some Hebrew. She has also worked with me extensively on character development– everything from expressions to motives to vocal inflections. I can truly say that Alison has given me a comprehensive understanding and control over my voice. I know what it does best (coloraturas) and how to highlight those strengths. And I also know what it needs more improvement on (lower voice sustaining), and how to achieve that improvement. Alison is an INCREDIBLE voice instructor and I would highly recommend her to just about anyone!

If you’re looking for a voice teacher, Alison Collins is as good as it gets!!!
I studied with several vocal coaches when I was younger, and recently decided to start singing again after a 23 year break. Alison has worked with me to overcome bad vocal habits learned many years ago, teaching me proper (healthy) vocal technique. In the few months I have been studying with her, I have strengthened my voice and greatly increased my range. I learn something useful at every lesson.
Alison is very patient, encouraging and supportive and I always feel welcomed at her studio!
