Elle meets young students where they are at, with playfulness and a professional attitude. She blends music theory into whatever music the kids are interested in, and she responds to their interests and finds sheet music appropriate for their levels. After just a few trial lessons, my daughter was applying music theory to her own beginner’s compositions.

I've loved working with Elle these past few months! She is so patient, knowledgeable, and talented. 10/10 I definitely recommend working with her to anyone looking for a great coach who can help you work on bettering your techniques and becoming a better vocalist.

Elle has been patient, kind, and dedicated in each lesson. She uses the time wisely and really listens to what the students goals are and structures the lessons based on that. As someone who has never played an instrument and with no background in music I was intimidated to learn how to play the keyboard and sing. But Elle has helped me become comfortable and goes at my learning pace. I’m so happy that I made the decision to learn and that Elle is my teacher.

Elle Zee is an amazing singer/musician and even better person! She played at a recent fundraising event I had for the Boston Marathon and completely energized the room. She came fully prepared and ready to rock to a bunch of crowd-loved songs and holiday music since my event was in December. Her smile is contagious and voice, absolutely stunning. I am so lucky to have had Elle there to support me!

Working with Elle has been really incredible. I initially wanted to take voice lessons because I love to sing and it was something I did as a child/teen and in quarantine, I found myself trying to get back to the things I love so I thought, WHY NOT!? Our lessons have transformed from technique work (which we still obviously do) into a more cathartic experience for me. She is an amazing vocal coach, but more than that, has a gift for being able to hold space for me to feel my emotions and connect it to the music. She doesn't shy away from that, which is beautiful and rare. These weekly lessons are something I really look forward to and feel they have helped me grow as an individual, more than just vocally. There is something truly healing about our sessions, which is something you cannot find everywhere. I would highly recommend working with her.
