Danielle Elise Voice & Piano Lessons

Danielle is a great teacher! My daughter is 10 and enjoy’s going to her voice/​piano lessons. Danielle is professional, patient, a knowledgable teacher and my daughter really loves coming to her 1 hour class. The very first lesson, I was impressed how she taught Liana all about how the vocal cords work.
Liana has had 2 previous voice coaches and one was very technically but didn’t know the songs Liana wanted to sing and the other had great knowledge of the hip new song however; lacked the technical side of teaching. I was searching for 3 months before I found Danielle and I’m so glad we did! Over the last few months, Liana has learned how to control her voice and she is playing piano better and better.
Not only are the classes great but a couple times a year, Danielle puts on a recital which my family loves to attend. If you are looking for an affordable, educational and positive experience I highly recommend Danielle as a teacher.

As someone who has taken vocal lessons before from multiple people, I must say, Danielle is by far one of the best teachers I have studied under. With real classical/​professional exercises and creative approaches to getting around learning blocks, my peers and myself noticed a drastic improvement in my voice after about a month of study. The rates are also a steal considering the teaching you are getting. Danielle has a very warm, positive personality that really helps in the learning environment, especially for something as sensitive as voice. If I didn’t live so far away I would still be taking lessons. If you are a male singer wanting to start singing/​improve your technique, look no further :)

What a difference 4 months could make! Danielle worked very well with my 11 year old daughter. My daughter already had a passion for singing and music, but Danielle taught her how to bring it out. I love how she explains everything like tongue placement, vocal chords, breathe and much more. At first my daughter was reluctant because of some of silly exercises she had to do, but realized what a great improvement they were making in her singing abilities. We had to stop lessons temporarily due to time constraints on a busy girl’s life, but we’ll be back for more. «Thank you Danielle»!

I am the mother of two boys. My husband and I decided we wanted to enroll our boys in music lessons last year. Danielle was extremely accommodating and agreed to teach one of our boys guitar even though that is not something she is advertising and we are extremely appreciative. Being that both our boys are involved in sports she is beyond flexible and always works with our crazy hectic schedules. She is professional, patient (which she needs with one of my boys lol), and an absolute joy to be around. I feel very blessed that my boys are able to learn from such a pristine teacher and I hold her at a very high regard and would recommend her to anyone.

Danielle is very nice and patient. I have no knowledge about how to sing before I took her class. And now I feel much better and more confident about singing. Then she taught me not only in theory but also in practice. I like her way of teaching and enjoy the class all the time. As a guy being able to sing as tenor or trying to approach that range, Danielle has helped me to enlarge my vocal range. And we are also working on different songs besides vocal techniques. So the class won’t be merely about singing vowels and also practicing some interesting songs.

I love Danielle. She’s always upbeat, patient, kind and makes piano lessons fun for my son. Kyle was 6 yo when he started with her in September 2014 and now he practice on his own without me nagging. I love the fact that she motivates the kids with stickers and prizes. I wish my piano teacher did that when I was a kid!!! :) I am forever grateful for Danielle in teaching Kyle how to play and read music!!!

Danielle is such a caring and amazing teacher. You can really see how much passion she has for teaching and singing. Learning from someone who has such talent and patience is such an incredible opportunity. She tries to understand what goals and expectations you have and from there she plans her lessons with you accordingly. Her ability to explain one concept in a few different ways really helps; she does her best to adapt her teaching style to the student. She also creates a comfortable and safe environment to allow students to build their confidence and encourages students to step out of their comfort zones to grow. I have been taking vocal lessons from Danielle for a few months now and she has definitely helped me bring my voice out. If you’re looking for a vocal coach, I would recommend going to Danielle.

What an incredible vocal coach and overall person! Danielle’s technical and realistic teaching methods give me the tools to take my voice to the next level. I’ve taken lessons on and off with various instructors, but have stuck with Danielle because she’s given me a solid foundation in proper vocal warm-​up, debunking potentially harmful myths about how to sing and the confidence to keep pushing through new frontiers. I never leave a session feeling that I haven’t learned something new to inspire/​motivate myself when I’m practicing in between lessons.
There’s also something to be said for the high standards of professionalism and passion she has for the industry. Expect a high energy, intense lesson from a vocal coach who is very active in the field and knows what it takes to become a professional artist in this competitive market. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vocal coach.

I have had a lot of different piano teachers throughout my childhood, and without a doubt Danielle has been the most advantageous for my musical abilities. Danielle presents music theory in a way that makes sense to the average beginner. She not only focuses on theory, she also is intentional about incorporating other aspects of music. Danielle incorporates music that the student enjoys and is sincere about wanting her students to learn in a way that works for them individually. Danielle is also just an all around great educator, she is a very credible source and is intentional about her style of teaching. She is encouraging, and her passion for music is contagious. Danielle doesn’t teach in such a way that one feels it is her «job», rather it is very evident in her teaching that she genuinely aspires for her students to succeed. Danielle is also attentive to her students strengths and weaknesses and adjusts accordingly. I would highly recommend Danielle for any type of musical lesson :)

Danielle is an incredible teacher and singer! She draws on her own experience and beautifully powerful and versatile voice to empower her students. She is very knowledgable about vocal technique and the voice as an instrument, and is excellent in explaining proper breath technique, vowel articulation, and tone. Danielle is also a very caring and understanding person: she works hard to understand her students’ strengths, and goals, as well as help them grow as singers.
Danielle helped me to be ‘in my body’ as a singer, and had me do breathing exercises lying on the floor and against the piano in order to understand what it feels like to breathe properly. She also demonstrated her own technique, which produces an astonishingly beautiful sound. I have had teachers in the past that have attempted to explain concepts of breath with abstract metaphors, but Danielle described things to me in ways that helped me understand what was going on inside my body and connect to my breath and voice.
Danielle is also great at choosing repertoire and assigning her students specific goals. She has helped me apply techniques of operatic and Bel Canto singing to other genres of music that I sing. I highly recommend Danielle as a teacher!

I really enjoyed taking a voice lesson from her. She is very encouraging, patient, intelligent and sweet. I am a M. M student in choral conducting and I needed to prepare two songs for the video screening for my music workshop. I haven’t sung for a while and I needed urgent help! Danielle helped me with this short-​term project and the result came out great! She is very easy to work with and flexible too.

I cannot recommend Danielle enough! My oldest daughter took her very first piano lessons with Danielle at age 6 and she is now a phenomenal piano player at the age of 8.5. We ended up having to move and Danielle is not able to be our teacher anymore, and I can honestly say that I almost didn’t want to move because we would be leaving her! :-) She is so kind and patient and really instilled the love of piano and music into my daughter, which has trickled down to my younger daughter! She is now playing as well, and I could not be prouder as a mom.
Danielle just has such a wonderful personality and she truly cares about her students; it’s clearly not just a ‘job.’ She is very organized, punctual, and professional which is super important to me. I loved that she held recitals because that helped build confidence in my daughter, who is a bit shy when it comes to ‘performing.’ While we have a different teacher now because we moved away, I can say without a doubt that I would have Danielle back as a teacher in a heartbeat if I could.

Danielle has been teaching both of my daughters in piano and voice for the last year. She’s a wonderful teacher. Both of my daughters have learned so much from working with her. She is such a talented musician and such a terrific educator. I feel very lucky for my daughters to have the opportunity to learn from her. If you are considering a music educator for your children, definitely contact Danielle. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
