I'm having one hour (classical) singing lessons with Andrew, on a weekly basis. I had already taken singing lessons in France, so I came with standards and expectations.
To be honest, it was better than what I was expecting ! Andrew is a great teacher : he takes times for his students, pays a lot of attention to every detail, give really good advice. If you add his natural kindness and cheerfulness, you can easily make the conclusion that he is the perfect singing teacher !

Andy is a great piano teacher! He has been working with our 10 year old son who is growing in confidence and consistently improving and furthering his skills. Andy is a great motivator that is making learning the piano fun!

Excellent first lesson with Andrew; the first thing I noticed was his emphasis on relaxation and creating an easy environment to work in. He spoke to me about good singing technique such as breathing, and then we went straight to vocalizing with as much of a natural sound and posture as possible. After that, we dove straight into a song to apply such concepts. Will definitely be booking another lesson with Andrew when I have the opportunity!

Andy is an extremely talented singing professional. He continually impressed me with his ability to take complex ideas and distill them into concise strategies for better performance. I highly recommend him as an instructor for all levels. He has improved my singing to a level I did not expect, and I will continue to seek his professional expertise for the remainder of my singing career. I've never met as good a singing teacher as Andy Klima.

I found Andrew through thumbtack and it has been a real pleasure taking lessons from him. He makes you feel very comfortable, and for someone like me with no previous vocal training that it a must. Andrew is very thorough, and takes time to really help you understand the concepts and techniques. I am currently taking lesson from him and I highly recommend you doing the same. I am a broke actor who was wanting to better himself, so money is tight, but Andrew will work with you as best he can. Again, I highly recommend him!

Have have ben a musical theatre student throught most of my life, and have studied voice with many people who have been considered the best. In the past I singing has been very well received! Andrew Klima has been my voice teacher for the past year and I will never leave him!!! I have been told by people I perform with and people who have heard me sing through out my life that my voice is the absolute best right now that it has ever been!!! I could not recommend Andrew enough !! He has pulled the greatest sound out of me that I never even knew was inside!! Working with Andrew is an absolute pleasure and I can now sing songs with confidence and ease that I never could have in the past!! If you are looking for a voice teacher who is the best of the best, Andrew is definitely your #1 choice!!!

Wow! I am so lucky to have found Andy as my singing coach. He is an outstanding teacher. In a city like Manhattan it is so hard to find someone you can relate to and trust. I don't know what I would have done without Andy. He has been able to help me reach a new level with my singing that otherwise wouldn't have been possible. I am so thankful to him!

Andy is a very insightful and creative voice teacher. He works to bring out the best from you while making the experience challenging and fun. Andy is very good at translating the complex dynamics of singing into everyday terms that an amateur singer can understand - while still providing the structure and professional coaching necessary for you to reach the next level. He is funny, personable and makes you feel very comfortable to try things that may not be in your comfort zone. I have been taking lessons with Andy for about 18 months now and feel that he is the best voice teacher that I have ever had.

On a number of occasions, I've had the opportunity to observe Andrew Klima in an educational setting teaching chorus to elementary and middle school students. Andrew's style of teaching is both innovative and traditional. He makes the students want to sing with his infectious personality and love of his craft, and at the same time has excellent classroom management techniques.
I have seen Andrew work with primary classes performing for their parents at concerts where Andrew has taught them to sing and be animated as well.
His ability to reach across grade levels seems effortless. Andrew was instrumental in re-organizing the chorus at the middle school where he taught. School counselors had students requesting chorus as an elective, and a number of his students began taking private lessons after school!
As a seasoned teacher with 35 years experience, I have seen many young teachers begin their careers. Andrew is exceptional. You will be more than pleased with him as a private voice instructor for any age student.
