ABOUT ME

I started my voice studio with one goal in mind: to help people find freedom in their singing and trust in their musical bodies. Because from there, worlds of artistic discovery unfold. Musicianship sharpens, ideas percolate, and desires focus. I’ve been there - as a student and a teacher. And it’s magic. My background in performance combined with over fifteen years of studio instruction gives me a unique perspective in helping you unblock your physical and emotional barriers, discover vocal freedom, and explore your singing potential.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Elissa strives to make the studio a safe and supportive place. My voice has completely transformed since I started lessons with Elissa, as has my confidence."

    — Lauren R.

  • “Working with Elissa has proved invaluable in every step of my development as a classical singer and teacher. One of the things that she shared early in my journey is, “No one gets to decide if you are or are not an artist. You are the only one who can decide that.” 

    So I decided that I am an artist indeed. Thank you Elissa, for your wisdom, support, passion and patience in helping me to claim my space in the artistic world. “

    — Shaunna L.

  • "For me, working with Elissa has been like finding a vocal fairy godmother. She understands vocal sensations, challenges and triumphs in a way only a singer can and her guidance has grounded and inspired me. Even in a short time I have felt my vocal health and sound improve tremendously and she is a blast to be around!"

    — Nadine G. P.

  • “Working with Dr. Alvarez has been the greatest experience both vocally and artistically. She can easily adapt her teaching of technique to each singer because of her thorough understanding of the voice and singing. My vocal growth with her has been exponential, and I always look forward to our lessons together.”

    — Madeline M.
