Work with our Plateau Montreal singing teachers

Our Plateau Montreal singing teachers have backgrounds in opera, pop, jazz, song writing, musical theatre, improvisation, sound engineering, piano, guitar, and healthy vocal technique. Each voice teacher has worked with beginners, kids, adults, recording artists, and is themself an active performer in addition to offering private singing lessons.

Why Choose A Plateau Vocal Coach

Have you always wanted to work with a singing teacher who could coach you through your recordings?

What about a vocal coach who will go to the recording studio with you to make sure you get your best sound laid down on a track?

For sure you want a teacher who understands how to avoid vocal injury and incorporates that knowledge into their teaching style.

Private voice lessons with our Plateau teachers are focused, tailored to your individual needs and skill level. Some students come to the Plateau to learn classical singing, others want to have a teacher who can coach them on jazz as they record a song in a professional studio. Lessons with our plateau teachers in Montreal will enable you to gain confidence, sing in studio spaces that are inspiring and professional, and give you access to vocal technique used by advanced singers.

Don’t hesitate to ask your teacher to leave the Plateau and join you at your recording studio: Having your vocal coach in studio sessions with you is a trick used by advanced students to make the most of your recording time.

While all of these teachers have a recording setup at their home studios in the Plateau, they are willing to travel with you throughout Montreal to your show or recording studio time in order to coach you or warm you up.
In our experience, vocal coaches can be life savers in these moments of performance. Particularly for singers whose first time it is recording! Nerves get in the way: let us build your confidence.

Stephanie Sedlbauer - singing teacher Montreal

teaching in English

Stephanie Sedlbauer

Stephanie Sedlbauer is a portfolio artist from Burlington, Ontario who has been living in Montreal for the last 5 years. Stephanie specializes in vocal flexibility, performing in a wide variety of styles for the past 15 years. With a Masters in Opera and Voice from McGill University (2019) Stephanie is highly experienced and educated in western classical voice technique. Opera has led her to perform across North America, as well as Italy and Germany. But her love for singing started in rock and roll, as well as singers like Aretha Franklin and Etta James. This led her to a long early career as a young musical theatre chorus member, and many rock and contemporary stage performances, including the Burlington Sound of Music Festival, and singing a performance with the official Led Zeppelin Cover band. Obviously, Stephanie loves giving rock singing lessons and offers this in-demand service to ages 16+.

In 2012 she won the Adjudicators award for Best Director in the Sears Ontario Drama Festival, and she spent 3 years teaching group acting classes with the Academy of Film and Performing Arts in Burlington Ontario. From this, and her own love of performing, has come a passion to help guide singers and actors in developing their acting for performance and audition preparation.

“Be it coaching repertoire or staging scenes, we can discuss your goals and find the best approach to your next project in our audition preparation classes!”

Services:

Rock Singing Lessons:
-Open to ages 16+
One of the few rock singing teachers in the city, Stephanie makes easy work of finding the answer to, how do I sing rock music? Work on rock songs, rock singing technique, and compound it with breath work and building a strong stage presence.

Musical Theatre Singing lessons, Opera & Jazz Singing Lessons.
Vocal coaching with Stephanie is designed for adults with the exception of musical theatre, which lends itself well to the ages of 8+. Singing classes will focus on both technical and pedagogical advice for better vocal health and production. Voice classes can also incorporate recording session coaching and diction coaching for English, French, German, and Italian. Stephanie’s operatic background makes her an essential resource for singing without an accent and understanding how you sing with power. Professional singers looking for coaching and beginners are welcome.

Private Coaching for Audition Preparation.
These voice and acting classes are centered around auditions. Stephanie will show you how to act for a camera for the best possible audition packages you may need to send. Together, you will slate and review audition package materials (Resume/ CV feedback and assistance). Vocal classes will focus on performing with confidence and understanding how to practice for an audition. Acting classes incorporate monologue coaching, role coaching, and text work. Stephanie’s experience as a director will help you to stage your work for compelling performance and to move with the physicality of the character you are embodying.

Testimonials

Alex Nicol
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!

Voice coach Robert Popolii
Tara
Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!
North York voice teachers Tylor van Riper
Rebecca
I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Laurena Mayifuila Mayowele
Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection. Also, now I am enjoying the journey more. I will definitely recommend Express voice studio. I have been in singing class for 3 years and piano class for 16 months going through the same blocage over and over. And I can say that the approach is more global and it works!

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.
