DEBORAH CONQUEST VOICE STUDIO

"I received private voice lessons from Deborah before auditioning for colleges to be a voice major. She helped me choose repertoire, work on my technique and my overall confidence. I ended up getting into 4 top music schools and often returned to Deborah for lessons whenever possible. She is very kind and supportive. Deborah often found various ways of explaining technique until I understood. Her musicality and interpretation skills helped me experience new life within the music. I would highly recommend taking lessons from Deborah."

"Deborah is so supportive of her students. She gives feedback in a positive way so you can learn and grow. It's never harsh, her feedback is always solid and clear so you know exactly how to improve. Deborah is kind and honest, and I love that because it helps me learn and push myself. Before recitals or a big performance she works with you, and will never make you nervous. She really prepares her students in the best way. Deborah is very nice and funny too, she is also very interesting as a person. I feel very lucky that she is my voice teacher."

“I started lessons with Deborah as an adult with prior experience performing in musical theater, choral and a cappella groups, and 5 years of private lessons. Although I came with this experience – and, albeit, limited knowledge of proper vocal technique -- Deborah taught me so much; such as vocal anatomy and physiology, how one produces sound, how to adjust one’s form to produce a higher quality sound, why posture is so very important in vocal performance, how to focus one’s breath to produce a pure and healthy sound, how to inject emotion into a song, and so much more. What’s more, Deborah is a bright, inspiring, and supportive individual with a clear passion for music…and she will rub off on you! Her passion has re-ignited my own, and I will forever be grateful. If you are looking for a vocal coach, look no further. I HIGHLY recommend Deborah Conquest. She has been, hands down, the best vocal coach I have ever worked with.”

"As a vocal teacher, Deborah is the whole package. She is kind and encouraging, helping those newer to the vocal arts find the confidence to express themselves while having such a wealth of knowledge as to impress even the seasoned singer. I knew I was in good hands with Deborah because she not only knows how music works, but how the human voice works - and the actual anatomy and physics that goes into it. Despite her expertise, she is very down-to-earth and friendly, which was especially important to me as someone who had never received professional vocal instruction. Deborah was patient and supportive, and I definitely feel that my vocal skills, as well as my confidence, have increased."

-Jennie

"I came to Deborah Conquest as voice student during a time when I was really unsure of my vocal capabilities. Not only did she help to restore my confidence in myself but she enriched me with long lasting musical knowledge. Her style of teaching is very informative and encouraging, she will constantly push you to achieve excellence. It is because of that push that I was able to gain acceptance into a Graduate school program for classical voice. For that, I am forever grateful!"

“My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Deborah for the past two years, and my only regret is that she didn’t start with her sooner! Deborah is an outstanding vocal coach and a great musical theater mentor. Deborah’s experience was invaluable when it was time for my daughter to navigate through the college audition process. Such a caring and knowledgeable teacher. Highly recommend!”
