About

I am able to bring out the specific vocal timbre of each voice. I don't impose a fixed idea of a "my" sound on anyone. Rather will bring out the uniqueness and beauty of your instrument. I think my students should sing music they love and start to apply the technique right away to get the joy of singing! I am thrilled when a student is able to sing freely and express themselves with ease! My students have gone on to having successful careers in everything from pop, jazz, musical theater to opera.

Valerie is a fabulous singer with such a rich experience that she shares generously with her students. My experience with her is very helpful with lots of new approches in singing.She is the best.

The Vocal Studio of Soprano, Valerie Girard's reply

Elena came to me as a fairly well-know pop singer. Her range has grown tremendously and she has really grasped the technique. I'm so proud of her and admire her dedication! I look forward to continuing work with her to see where it will all go!

Valerie is remarkably skilled at understanding my vocal issues,explaining what and how things should change, and offering exercises to help that happen. She is patient and persistent, in for the long haul, but also gets results remarkably quickly. I've come a long way under Valerie's warm, inspiring tutelage. She is a very fine teacher.

Miss Girard is a fantastic teacher. She helped me with some big technique issues. I improved a lot during her masterclass in Stia and her online lessons keep me on track!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I prefer to teach a one hour lesson. Lessons must be canceled with 24 hr notice.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I ask every student to bring a song or aria to sing at your first lesson so that I get a sense of where you are vocally and musically. We then work on vocal exercises and technique. The rest of the lesson is spent on singing your music and immediately start applying the new technique.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
The Juilliard School, Oberlin Conservatory, New England Conservatory of Music, HB Acting Studio, The Goldovsky Institute. Private study with Felix Knight, Jennie Tourel, Frederick Jagel, Viviane Mordo.
