Claudia Friedlander Voice Studio

Claudia is a well-​respected professional teacher, personal trainer, and writer who regularly contributes to Classical Singer Magazine and has an wonderful blog with free advice for all singers. I frequently refer to her writings and go to her for personal input in working with my own students. Not only is she a top-​notch teacher, but she’s a lovely and generous colleague!

Your search for a voice studio has ended! Claudia Friedlander is not only beyond knowledgeable about all things voice related she has a true gift for teaching. It is one thing to know how to do something well and quite another to teach someone to be successful doing the same thing. Claudia is the best I’ve seen at both. I suspect all of her students get a very customized approach. In my case she quickly caught on to the way I liked to work and tailored our sessions so that I could get the most bang for my buck. She is clearly exceptional when it comes to teaching OPERA but I found her to be equally as adept at helping me with my MUSICAL THEATRE repertoire. I studied with Claudia for 3 years and would still be faithfully showing up at her door each week yearning for more had I not moved across the country. Go for a consultation you will not be disappointed.

After I had taken a year off from studying/​performing, I found Claudia through an opera singers’ forum. Her pedagogy made so much sense. Voice teachers in the past often used imagery with me and lots of intangible (for lack of a better word) descriptions that sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. Claudia had a way of taking many things past teachers said and making them actually make sense (in a more direct/​logical/​scientific way). As a personal trainer, she has a great wealth of knowledge about the human body. I felt like she gave me a better awareness of my own body and voice. She also is always extremely positive and upbeat while still being direct and realistic. She is very generous with her time, knowledge, even connections… shortly after I began studying with her, I was cast as The Queen of the Night and gained some exciting experiences through her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a voice teacher.

Claudia Friedlander is a truly great voice teacher. She understands the mechanism and how to systematically free it. I always feel accomplished and like a better singer, when I leave a lesson. Whether you want to sing lullabies to your child, Heavy Metal, Broadway show tunes, or Opera, she will help you in your endeavors.
