Jordanne is such a great teacher. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. Not only do lessons fly by, they work, and I see the progress. I would highly recommend!
Its been 2 weeks since Im trying to call to have infos regarding their classes but no answer ... I left voicemails no call back .. Im starting to doubt the serious of the school are they still open??
I am not a perfect singer, not a professional singer but I am a singer. I love singing and music and singing makes me fearless.I first wrote a review in November 2018, and I remain as steadfast in my admiration today as I was then. Singing and voice training are pursuits I believe everyone should embrace—it is like breathing in the crisp air of spring, filling your lungs with vitality, your heart with joy, and your mind with music. Melody and rhythm awaken the body, and the very act of learning to sing instils confidence and an undeniable sense of happiness.The highlight of my week is undoubtedly my singing and piano lessons, and I can say with absolute conviction that you will adore your time with Jordanne Erichsen and Express Voice Studio. Much has changed since 2018. After exploring various vocal coaches, singing instructors, and music teachers that year, I struggled to find someone who truly understood my needs. As a professional speaker and guide, my voice is my livelihood, and after an intense season, I found myself suffering from vocal fatigue—speaking became painful, and I was in dire need of expert guidance.It was then that I discovered Jordanne Erichsen, a remarkable teacher who immediately recognised what was required. With her expert instruction, working two to three times a week for four months, my voice not only recovered but flourished, growing stronger and more resilient. Jordanne is an exceptional singing teacher, vocal coach, speech instructor, and music educator. She is both encouraging and exacting, ensuring that her students receive precisely what they need to develop and improve.Having taken singing lessons intermittently for many years, I decided to return to formal training alongside my vocal rehabilitation. Simultaneously, I resumed piano studies, which in turn refined my ability to read music, deepening my musical understanding. I meticulously recorded my progress, and the results were remarkable—my vocal range expanded significantly, and my speaking voice reached new levels of strength and clarity.One particularly joyous milestone was in August 2019, when all of Jordanne’s students had the opportunity to perform—an experience that was nothing short of exhilarating. Other opportunities to sing also came up and I worked hard with a purpose and goals to sing on a stage once again. Always exciting. On another occasion we had an opera singer help us with our performances. I love pop opera and opera and I really enjoyed the in person workshop. I have always been an irrepressible singer, bursting into song anywhere and everywhere, regardless of who may be listening. Now, I treat myself to singing lessons once or twice a week—not merely to enhance my professional voice but to give myself a goal, a sense of purpose, and something to strive towards. People who sing are happy people. Singer also always encourage other singers.Express Voice Studio offer affordable on line classes, live and on line workshops..Rather than offering material possessions, I believe that the gift of music and singing is an experience beyond value—one that is enriching, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling. Supporting the arts and local talent is an investment in creativity and culture, and, most importantly, it will bring you immense joy.I wholeheartedly recommend Express Voice Studio and Jordanne Erichsen. She has a team all over Montreal and Toronto.Sign up for her newsletters which has valuable information .Ruby RoyMontreal Expert Licensed Profession GuideInternational Public Speaker , Trainer and Worksop PresenterMontrealwww.rubyroy.ca
Wonderful tool for remote learning when it comes to connecting fellow musicians and sharpening your skills.
Kit is amazing at helping me push myself out of my comfort zone and makes the classes fun and approachable. I'm so excited to keep going. Thanks Kit!
Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!
Everyone is so helpful and kind. From the first contact to your 100th class, you're sure to have a great experience.Lots of opportunity to grow your skill set and get out of your comfort zone while having fun !
I love my courses with Ian, he's very supportive and helpful and still pushes you to improve. He always adapts and finds different angles to see what works best with his student. It's always a pleasure.
I love everything about my lessons with Ian! His approach is creative and scientific, he always strikes the right balance between challenging and reinforcing, adapting to his students' needs and goals. He is a kind soul, super sensitive and empathic, has a great personality and excellent relational skills which made me feel secure and comfortable quickly at the beginning of our lessons, even though I had zero experience in singing. I am very happy with my improvement in a few months, it has been empowering. I highly recommend him and Express Voice Studio!
I have taken songwriting, vocal classes & piano lessons with Verona for only 2 months and I have already seen an immense improvement in my songwriting skills, my vocabulary and understanding of singing + songwriting. Verona helps you understand what she’s saying by providing imagery & her own tactical experiences. She also offers vocal production & explains to you exactly what she’s doing so that you know for yourself and makes sure you really understand why what she’s teaching is so important! She’s mastered her craft and you can tell how much she truly loves teaching, and singing! Happy to have the pleasure of working with her. Truly recommend. I wouldn’t have gotten this far in my craft without her along side to help guide me!
I highly recommend Ian! I found my teacher Ian through express and I could not speak more highly of him! Ian's teaching is superb and has really pushed me to become the singer I want to be. His approach is technical and thorough while also being fun and super supportive. Ian is very encouraging, positive and patient, and has given me the resources to believe more fully in myself as a musician. He will help you to get your voice and your mindset where you want it to be. I highly recommend Ian and Express Voice Studio!
Ian is an amazing teacher and I would 100% recommend him for singing lessons! He’s very patient, always coming up with new and original content for his classes and I’ve seen considerable improvements in my singing since I started taking lessons with him. Always bringing that great energy that makes you want to learn more and improve!
