I started taking voice lessons with Grace Gori in February 2015 because I wanted to prepare to audition for choral groups by the Fall. I hadn’t taken lessons or been singing regularly for over ten years but Grace helped me tremendously. I took weekly lessons and now I sing with the National Philharmonic Chorale. Grace is an excellent instructor who helps vocalists strengthen and hone their voices AND she is extremely professional and personable. She has a holistic approach to teaching, which includes focusing on the physical aspect of singing(proper body alignment, breath, various muscle constructs/support, etc.), all of which positively impacts a student’s ability to create sound. I have really benefited from her teaching approach by embracing and practicing her techniques and it has made all the difference. I highly recommend Grace and Gori Voice Studios.

Grace Gori is a marvelous vocal teacher who brings out the best in anyone, young or young at heart. Using all her training in current methods of total-body singing, Grace gives her students, including myself, new self-confidence as they master technique and style and conquer new music! Definitely a great teacher!

My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Grace Gori for over a year and absolutely loves it. Since starting work with Grace, her vocal range has grown tremendously and she is stretching in different directions. The lessons are fun, interactive and highly informative. We recommend Gori Voice Studios highly!

I am a semi-experienced choral singer(baritone) having sung in junior and HS choirs and now, with the Nat’l Phil. Chorale or 4 seasons. Before I took lessons I had a lot of trouble getting much above a middle C. I took 3.5 years of lessons from Aurelius(Rex) and would highly recommend him. In that time I learned lots about breath support, voice placement(ping, singing forward etc.), diction, audiation(verbalizing) and many other things. I never thought it possible but I am easily able to sing up a whole 4th now, clearly and without straining. Rex is also a heckuva nice guy and the lessons were always very positive and fun. I have to say that when singing things like Bach Bm mass with lots of tricky passage above middle C I can totally handle it. Ditto for those screamy high F passages in Beethoven 9. With all the technique he gave me my voice never wears out even after 3 hour rehearsals. Every time I sing those types of passages I thank Rex! Rex also has a tremendous repertoire so he can always find something to sing that suits your taste and skill level. I felt he always gave me appropriate repertoire such as Mozart operas(Don Giovanni and Marriage of Figaro come to mind). He was also a very good source information on solos to sing for church. His wife is also a very good teacher and I always learned a lot from the workshops that they held to critique each other’s students. If you are singer and want to improve I cannot recommend Gori Studios enough!
