Wickham Vocal Studios

Nothing against their vocal teaching practices, but I wish to express my frustration dealing with the admissions office in regards to being enrolled in WVS. I’ve had multiple problems with either canceling my contract or rescheduling lessons in the past. My contract was auto-​renewed past the «automatic 3 month enrollment period,» leaving my credit card account to be charged beyond the point outlined in the contract. Your payments become non-​refundable WVS credit — I have moved out of New York and have no way to redeem this credit.
Please be aware of the ‘fine print’ WVS will hold you to before signing the contract. I forewarn you as there may be many complications later down your enrollment.

Patrick Micheal Wickham is a godsend.
With his unique background — Juilliard AND med school! — Patrick knows how the voice works both artistically and scientifically, and he uses that knowledge to pinpoint your weaknesses and show you exactly how to improve.
He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all kinds of music. I grew up signing Soul/R&B and Gospel, and Patrick works with me in those genres. But he’s also shown me that the way to perform better within them is by going beyond them, by training in Opera! I had developed a lot of bad habits by imitating pop singers, so «legit» training — releasing the tongue, «covering» with a high palette, not cheating with the nose — was exactly what I needed. It’s made made my voice fuller, richer, and healthier. I have more endurance and flexibility, more range and resonance, and — here’s the best part — what sounds better also feels easier.
How it feels is fundamental. Most teachers are fixated on how you sound. Patrick focuses on your instrument — conditioning you to be attuned to how things feel in your body — and the sound follows from that. It’s the difference between tweaking the EQ on a cheap stereo and upgrading to a high-​end system.
Good technique is paradoxical. The diaphragm is a muscle you can’t feel or flex, so you have to let it work. You have to be actively passive. Patrick has devised a brilliant way to do that, using visualization. It’s hard to explain — you just have to try it.
Patrick is also one of the most incredibly talented singers I know. His voice is stunning. I’d almost pay for lessons just to hear his demonstrations. He’s an excellent example — something to aspire to.
Finally, only the best get to teach in Patrick’s company, so you might like to try the other teachers in his school too.
Go sing your heart out!

RUN dont walk to Wickham Vocal Studios. I am a person who loves to sing and raising 3 children I never had the opportunity to pursue my love. Now that my children are adults, I decided to take some vocal lessons. I searched and found about 3 – 4 teachers, I thought I would go to each one and then narrow it down to that 1 special one… well the search is ended… PATRICK WICKHAM is an ANGEL.
First, let me say, this studio is very very knowledgeable and professional but warm and caring. Mr. Wickham absolutely cares about his students. You are not just a number. but a person who he truly invests his time in to achieve whatever it is you may want. I cannot express my happiness with what I received on the 1^st visit.
I was a bit nervous, however, as soon as I met Patrick that eased. He is absolutely so warm and friendly with a great vibe. He is more than a VOICE COACH… he knows about the physical aspects of the voice which makes for knowledge above and beyond what you will receive with just a voice teacher or singing coach. He felt my throat area to assess the tightness of the muscles around that area. We did some vocal exercises and the entire session was taped which he emailed me along with a LOT of exercises specifically designed to MY ISSUE.
So, as you see Patrick does not treat you as a «one size program fits all»…he designs the program around your specific issues. All I can say is Patrick Wickham is beyond kind, personable, knowledgeable about what you need to get where you want to be… and has a BEYOND BELIEVEABLE VOICE!!!
And beyond that they will work with your financial situation. Trust me… go to
Mr. Wickham and you will be so happy you did!!!
Beginners like myself… along with intermediate and advanced students there is no other MASTER of VOICE like Patrick!
Thank you Patrick!

Patrick knows his shit when it come to vocal training. I’ve witnessed straight up tone deaf singers sound like they were just coming off of singing on a Broadway show with just a few lessons!
Not gonna lie, he is a hardass, he expects you to come prepared and on time for your sessions flawlessly but it is all well worth it!
