WHY LEARN FROM PERFORMING ARTISTS

jordanne erichsen founder of EXPRESS Voice Studio

At EXPRESS Voice Studio, we believe true musical education goes beyond technique and theory — it’s about immersing yourself in music, exploring different styles, instruments, and personal approaches to playing. Every artist brings a unique perspective, and our instructors — lifelong musicians and industry professionals — share their real-world experience in individual lessons designed for students of all ages (8+).

We offer in-person and online music lessons, making high-quality music education accessible to everyone, regardless of schedule or budget. While we began as experts in singing lessons, our roster of Artists Who Teach now offers a full suite of music lessons, including piano, guitar, violin, flute, and more. Whether you’re a parent revisiting guitar lessons, a grandparent picking up the ukulele again, or a child ready to start piano lessons, EXPRESS ensures that nothing stands in the way of your musical goals.

Our programs emphasize performance opportunities, building confidence, and developing strong skills across classical, jazz, rock, and contemporary styles. Many of our students prepare for RCM exams or pursue conservatory of music goals, while others simply enjoy learning an instrument, expressing themselves, and finding joy in music. With expert instructors who tailor lessons to individual needs, EXPRESS nurtures musicians at every level, from beginners to advanced performers, helping them grow, practice, and play with passion.

At EXPRESS, we specialize in providing music lessons for adults. In fact, 80% of our student body are adults! Because when it comes to teaching music, adults and kids have very different needs.

We work with beginners and aspiring artists.

Not just music teachers, but “Artists Who Teach,” we will pair you with the best coach for you and offer you options to pick from. Move from music theory to singing lessons, to guitar lessons- whatever you want to learn, there is an artist ready to teach you at your own pace.

Beginner Music Lessons

At EXPRESS, we pride ourselves on being exceptionally beginner-friendly, creating a welcoming and supportive environment for students who are just starting their musical journey. Whether you’ve never touched an instrument or feel nervous about singing for the first time, our lessons are designed to meet you exactly where you are. We focus on building strong musical foundations—basic technique, rhythm, ear training, and confidence—without pressure or intimidation. Our instructors are patient, encouraging, and experienced in guiding beginners of all ages through their first steps in music.

What truly sets EXPRESS apart is our personalized approach. We carefully match each beginner with an instructor who fits their learning style, goals, and personality, making lessons feel comfortable and motivating from day one. Progress is paced to the student, not a rigid curriculum, ensuring that learning music feels exciting rather than overwhelming. By combining clear instruction, real-world musical experience, and a supportive studio culture, EXPRESS helps beginners develop skills, confidence, and a genuine love for music that lasts well beyond their first lessons.

Music Lessons For Aspiring Artists

At EXPRESS, we also specialize in supporting aspiring artists who are ready to take their skills beyond the basics and work toward real artistic growth. Our lessons are ideal for students who want to refine their technique, expand their musical vocabulary, and develop their own artistic voice. Whether you’re writing original music, preparing for performances, auditions, or recordings, or aiming for post-secondary music programs, our instructors tailor each lesson to your professional and creative goals.

All EXPRESS instructors are active artists themselves, bringing real-world experience from the stage, studio, and industry into every session. Lessons go beyond technique to include musical interpretation, style development, performance readiness, and creative confidence. By combining strong fundamentals with genre-specific training and mentorship, EXPRESS provides aspiring artists with the structure, guidance, and inspiration they need to grow as confident, independent musicians.

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.

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!

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!

Voice coach Robert Popolii

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.

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.

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.
