Introduction: Cecilia Xing-Mei Cai has experience teaching private voice lessons to children, adults, professional musicians and music lovers. She also teaches both male and female singers. While classical singing technique is being used, other genres such as broadway singing (musical theater), jazz, gospel and pop are also offered to tailor each student's needs. She helped many people with pitch issues, tone quality, musicality, performance, and acting. She also teaches students with special needs. Ms.Cai owns a studio in San Jose, California. She is a top-rated teacher around the area and students come to study with her from San Jose, Santa Clara, Stanford, Milpitas, Fremont, and other cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. I set my expectations high for all students. Students are expected to learn all the assigned music and practice throughout the week. Music is fun but it also takes a lot of work. Most of my students improve tremendously in a short period of time. I not only teach them singing, phrasing, and language, but I stress vocal techniques, emotions behind music, acting in character, and performing as a professional.

Cecilia is very patient. She has a beautiful voice and is very professional. She taught me how to expand my range and explore my style. I gained confidence in myself and my singing. I would highly recommend Cecilia.

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, even as a low-baritone male in my 20's that has never taken singing lessons before. The voice training is universal and spans all genres, so don't worry. VERY enjoyable to learn from and I improved every single week because I was challenged every week (which is what you need!). I still practice the lessons & tips Cecilia has given to me and always will. You want a highly skilled who will tell you the truth when training, but who has the empathy to make the process a fun one. I can't recommend Cecilia enough!
