TESTIMONIALS
Therese "Tee" Boyich
Mean Girls, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (TV) "Jeremy was recommended to me three years ago by an ENT as 'A voice teacher with the absolute best technique.' There was never a truer statement. Jeremy’s teachings have helped me to truly grow as a singer and performer. Without him I would not be able to perform four different characters with four extremely different vocal sounds in Mean Girls on Broadway with absolute confidence in my constant vocal health. His ability to relay information and connect with each student on an individual level and to cater to their specific needs is truly astounding. He is a fantastic teacher and his student’s biggest champion. I feel extremely grateful to have Jeremy in my corner." |

He is both a compassionate mentor and a technical master in the studio. He will free your voice - he’ll help you to produce a clear and enormous sound, while making it feel effortless, weightless. He listens intently and directs with absolute precision. His expertise in pedagogy allows him to individualize and match tools to your voice, until you are equipped to navigate different styles and industry demands on your own. And on top of his teaching prowess, Jeremy is incredibly warm and caring. He is a gift to singers everywhere, and I hope you get the privilege of working with him.” |

Falsettos, Wicked, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: The Musical, La Cage aux Folles, The Little Mermaid, Guys and Dolls, The Pirate Queen, A Chorus Line, Chicago "My work with Jeremy over the past few years has helped me find my true voice. He's guided me through healthy vocal technique, expanded my range and versatility as a singer, and kept me on stage 8 times a week. I've never felt so comfortable in a lesson. He has a unique way of communicating that makes everything seem so much simpler and I'm never afraid to fail in front of him. My voice and I are thankful we found him." |
Mary Michael Patterson
Love Never Dies, The Phantom of the Opera, Anything Goes , The Sound of Music (Carnegie Hall) "Jeremy is the a perfect combination of singer and teacher. He has all of the knowledge of the pupil, but the tools of the greatest master. His tactics are endless! Any issue I might be having, he has solved before I can even think to ask. He is incredibly intuitive and subtle, but gives me tangible exercises and images to relate to during our work. If something isn't getting through to me, he tries one of his many other methods, until something speaks to me and I can make the adjustment. I have been working with Jeremy for two years, and in that time I have seen an incredible amount of growth in myself. My technique is stronger than ever, and I feel as though I can sing anything that is thrown at me with his guidance. AND on top of all of that, he is a wonderful, kind, generous human being. He is, simply, the best." |
Adrian Kramer
Komische Oper Berlin, San Diego Opera, Opera Philadelphia, Opera Omaha, Edmonton Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Toronto Operetta Theatre "I began working with Jeremy during a time of vocal transition and it would be difficult to overstate the positive impact he has had on my singing life. Jeremy's incomparable ears, expertly communicated technique and compassionate and supportive nature, not only saw me through that transition, but equipped me with a more stable and reliable vocalism than I ever thought possible. Jeremy constantly innovates and adapts our work in the studio to fit my ever shifting vocal needs and I am a continuously better singer for his tailored attention. He never fails to go above and beyond as a teacher, adviser and friend and I cannot recommend him highly enough!" |
Lucia Cesaroni
Toronto Symphony, Vancouver Opera, Enescu Festival, Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi, Teatro Alighieri di Ravenna, Orchestra Nazionale della RAI Italia, Opera Saskatoon "Jeremy is that rare kind of expert who is able to make complex kinesthetic and intellectual concepts practical, applicable and bespoke for anyone willing to learn. Singing and learning to sing are equally vulnerable acts. Jeremy’s compassion and kind nature grounded in detailed, confident pedagogy shows us, by example, that mastering self is as important as any technical mastery. Jeremy’s gift is a gift to us all and I am forever grateful to him." |
Philip Kalmanovitch
Opéra de Montréal, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, New York City Opera, Lotte Lenya Competition Finalist, Banff Centre for the Arts "Working with Jeremy has been a wonderful experience right from the very start. I arrived at his studio experiencing several vocal issues following a recommendation by my ENT and felt so much more secure after only the first lesson. I found in Jeremy a warm, supportive, joyful spirit leading me to leave every lesson with a smile on my face and a huge boost of confidence. Jeremy provides you with outstanding tools that clearly originate from his vast knowledge and experience. Seriously. He's got a tool for that. He clearly cares about his students and is happy to celebrate their myriad successes. He challenges me in the best ways and has been so, so supportive. I sincerely look forward to continuing my study with Jeremy in the future." |
Alia Munsch
Motown (National Tour), West Side Story (Tokyo) "I started working with Jeremy when I was diagnosed with a vocal injury. Jeremy gave me so many wonderful tools and completely re-vamped my approach to singing. I was totally healed within a short time working with him, and my voice felt freer and more resonant than ever. He is an incredibly adept, intelligent and adaptable teacher and has perfected his understanding of the intricacies of vocal pedagogy. I am so grateful to have worked with him and hope to continue to do so for a long time." |
Wes Williams
An Officer and a Gentleman, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Proof, Spring Awakening "Working with Jeremy has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career. Jeremy has a remarkable ability to locate bad habits and accurately articulate the solution in a supportive and fun environment. He has been able to guide me towards the sustainable and tension-free singing that is necessary for a performer, while at the same time help me to achieve a level of vocal clarity that I've never experienced before. Even more so than this, I feel as if I've found a friend - Jeremy is so kind, and really takes the time to get to know you. In a city that can feel so big, time in his studio always feels personal." |
Stephanie Bacastow
"After my first lesson with Jeremy, I knew I had struck gold. Jeremy creates a space for singers to mindfully develop technical concepts in the most effective and time efficient way that I have ever experienced. This is due to an immense working knowledge of vocal anatomy and physiology, coupled an ear that picks up the finest of details, and the ability to quickly implement nuanced adjustments. Beyond being an expert technician Jeremy is also a wonderful person. Endlessly warm and approachable, his calm and grounded approach to teaching combats the frenetic energy of the entertainment industry, and of NYC. Because of his instruction I have found freedom and ease in my singing and know my voice more intimately than I thought possible. If it sounds as though I'm gushing, I am; I couldn't recommend Jeremy more highly, and am endlessly grateful for his guidance and friendship. I am a student for life.." |
Matthew Helfer
Grease (Toronto), Criminal Minds, How to Be a Vampire & Palisades Vice (TV) "Jeremy has the ability to hear vocal function with astounding precision. It is an understatement to say that he has transformed my voice from its very core. My voice sounds better, feels better, and is more my own than it has ever been. The icing on the cake is that Jeremy is an absolute champion of a human being. Studying with him will make your voice better, your life brighter and New York a little warmer.” |
Mallory Fischer
"I have grown immensely through my work with Jeremy. When the joy of singing feels lost in this crazy world, Jeremy finds a way to bring it back to life. He somehow marries the technique and the artistry to make singing a human experience, instead of just a process. I am a better singer, teacher, performer, and person because of him. The care and love he has for his students runs deep. It is a gift to study with him." |
Phillip Spaeth
Matilda, West Side Story, Mary Poppins, Wicked, Smash (TV), Hairspray (Film) "Jeremy has changed the way I sing and, more importantly, the way I approach singing. I spent the past few years searching for a teacher that I clicked with to no avail. I had become confused by all of the different approaches, was really in my head, and having trouble finding my own voice; until I started working with Jeremy. He creatively found ways to present information that I could not only intellectualize but also put into effect. I'm extremely thankful!" |
Julia Ennen
"Jeremy Aye manages the impossible as a voice teacher. He is a mastermind of both the science of the voice and the art of teaching voice, bringing the perfect blend of sound knowledge, encouragement, direction, humor, and kindness to each and every lesson. He creates a lesson environment where you feel endless encouragement and safety, but also feel pushed and inspired to reach your full potential as an artist. His ability to hear, understand, and direct my voice is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, all done with care, compassion, and clear guidance. He personalizes his teaching to each student and truly gives each individual voice the information it needs to shine. He has helped my voice blossom into the best version of itself. I leave every lesson feeling affirmed, both vocally and personally. He has helped my voice and confidence grow so much!" |
Mackenzie Bykowski
"When choosing to study vocal instruction with Jeremy Aye, you are investing in a caliber of education that few can match. He has the ear and foresight to guide my voice toward a balance I didn't think I was capable of. His ability to empathize with a singer’s physical and emotional experience is unparalleled. That level of empathy is paired with an understanding of each individual’s vocal needs as well as the knowledge and application to develop any singer to a professional level of performance. The consistent feeling of ease and flexibility that Jeremy has provided for my voice is indescribable - even on the most difficult of days. I walk away from each lesson a more motivated and resilient artist that feels empowered to take risks in exploring what my voice is capable of. I cannot express the level of gratitude I have for my time studying with Jeremy Aye. " |
Michelle Cosentino
"Working with Jeremy has been one of the most rewarding experiences. His teaching is clear, motivating, and individualized to each student. He has taught me to understand exactly how my voice works, helped me find consistency, and helped me work through some of the toughest transitions of my life, vocally and personally. But most importantly, his extraordinary ability to teach voice has helped me achieve some of the most effortless singing I’ve ever done. The kind of singing that allows me to not worry about my voice but just connect to text and tell a story. His kindness, encouraging words, and caring personality make his voice studio feel incredibly safe and I feel lucky to have him on my voice team." |
Jonathan Heller
"Jeremy Aye is the real deal. He has had an immeasurable impact on both my voice and who I am as an artist. During my first lesson with Jeremy, I knew I had struck gold! His facility with his technical knowledge and application, and his ability to genuinely invest in each of his students is unparalleled. When I tell people about Jeremy, I refer to him as “the voice wizard.” I leave every lesson not only in a better place than I started, but also with the confidence in my technique necessary to thrive as an actor in auditions and beyond. If you’re looking for a teacher that can take you to the next level, Jeremy Aye is your man." |
Kelsey Rose Andridge
"Jeremy Aye is without a doubt the greatest voice teacher you could ever have and is the quintessential depiction of all that a voice teacher should be. His unparalleled knowledge of vocal technique is only matched by his equally exquisite application skills, with the astounding ability to honestly and effectively teach to the individual person in front of him. He creates a studio space that is not only musically enriching but also artistically safe, and I would say most importantly, fun. I know this to be true as I have had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing this excellent teaching style as both a singer and as an observing vocal pedagogue. The findings are clear, he is truly the best. In both the intense moments of vocal uncertainty to those joyous times of vocal growth, Jeremy cares for his students above all else. And that, paired with an expertise unmatched in the field of vocal pedagogy, is the recipe for the perfect teacher of voice. An incredible educator, supportive mentor, and compassionate human, Jeremy is a treasure and I am beyond grateful to have him on my team!" |
Christopher Fotis
"Every opportunity to study with Jeremy Aye is a great privilege! His approach to teaching voice is a refined balance of being modern, relatable and steeped in a rich history of vocal pedagogy. His wisdom for assessing and tactfully working with a voice is beyond measure. This, combined with his ability to understand the person in front of him, makes his teaching style truly inimitable. I know that I am in exceptional care when Jeremy is at the piano. Creating a welcoming and enjoyable learning environment is in his nature, all the while seamlessly handling the complexities of long-term and immediate vocal goals. He highlights my strengths, meets me at my level, supports me as I face new challenges, and will celebrate my victories with me. I cannot think of a single lesson when I wasn't smiling and laughing! A lifelong gift of voice and music is something very special, and I am eternally grateful to be learning from Jeremy!” |
Katie Cochrane
"I have had the pleasure of learning from Jeremy as a voice teacher, professor of vocal pedagogy, and mentor. My lessons with him have always been a joy – met with compassion and warmth. Jeremy has helped me have the most amount of growth in the shortest period of time. He is known for building trust with his students, and always has your best interest at heart. In high stress situations, Jeremy is calm, approachable and maintains his amazing sense of humor. His vast knowledge of how the voice works from a pedagogical perspective is unparalleled. He has a solution or a tool for every vocal issue, taking a personalized approach and nurturing his students to reach their full potential. He truly cares about his students – not just as singers – but as people too. I cannot recommend Jeremy highly enough!" |
Eric Sand
"My entire approach to performing and teaching singing completely changed once I began working with Jeremy. When we began our work together, I had a lesion on my vocal folds, my singing was over-pressurized, and I was in a constant state of vocal fatigue and personal frustration. Working with Jeremy as my voice teacher, I learned more than I ever thought possible. Singing felt effortless for the first time in my life, and I was free to focus on storytelling instead of trying to 'manage' my voice and all the vocal demons in my head. For the first time in my entire life, my voice felt balanced in a way I never thought possible. Jeremy continues to be a role model in my own teaching philosophy. I strive to reflect his professionalism and compassionate demeanor both in and out of the studio. I am forever grateful to this human, and so thankful to have him as a teacher, mentor, and friend." |
Anissa Perona
"Jeremy Aye is everything you want in a voice teacher and in a person. His extensive knowledge of vocal pedagogy is matched only with his understanding, love, and care for his students. As a singer studying voice in an academic setting, I've often felt unmotivated to sing and felt like it was an obligation rather than something that brought me joy. Those feelings are turned on their head when I have my lessons with Jeremy; as he creates such a peaceful environment where I feel safe to create and happy to make music. He is truly the soprano wizard. The any-voice-type wizard. Songs I could only dream of singing were achievable and even felt easy to sing after just a few lessons with him. He is truly a gift as a teacher, mentor, artist, and human - if you're thinking about taking voice lessons with anyone, Jeremy's it." |
Logan Hoy Tucker
"Jeremy is the reason I am still singing today. Without his unending knowledge, kindness, and guidance, I would be lost a singer, performer, and human being. You know how some people just “get it”? He gets it. He can make you feel like you’re on top of the world when you succeed in a lesson, and he can also be the light of clarity and rationalization when you feel like you cannot possibly succeed ever again. He is my teacher for life - no, not just my teacher, but my friend too. What more could you want?" |
Kelsie Hicks
"Jeremy has helped not only my voice, but my confidence grow immensely while working with him. He has the wonderful ability to remind people of the joy of singing and why we do this crazy thing to begin with. He has the most calming presence that is a breath of fresh air in an industry that is so hustle bustle, and I am forever thankful for his teachings and words of encouragement that have helped me grow into the performer I am today. I cannot recommend him enough." |
Matthew Anderson
"Working with Jeremy is truly a special experience, and one that I count as a great privilege! He is a master of technique and has gift of translating vocal concepts into accessible experiences for the singer. Since studying with him, I feel I've grown a great deal, and have also found so much freedom and joy in my singing! I've gained a better understanding of my voice, which has helped me refine my point of view as an artist. He is clear and specific in his teaching, and tailors his approach to the individual voice of each student. Lessons with Jeremy are fun and extremely productive, and he treats every student with the upmost respect, professionalism, and kindness." |
Daniel Greco
"I came to Jeremy at a very volatile and uncertain time in my life, in a season where I was convinced that my voice was a straight-up mismatch to my dreams and ambitions. My first lesson with Jeremy was the turning point in that story for me. He listened for and heard the things that made my voice beautiful, powerful, and unique. Each lesson Jeremy gave me profound insights, helped me build up an arsenal of effective technical tools and exercises that capitalized on what was already good about my voice, and pushed me further ahead than I could have expected in that year. I think the real testament to Jeremy's work with me, however, has been the way I've continued to grow and develop in the years since we worked together regularly. Author C. S. Lewis wrote, "The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." In a world where so many voice teachers like to point out tension, highlight your bad habits, and then tell you to just relax, Jeremy gets busy helping you find better habits to replace the less effective ones. I certainly don't always reach the mark as a teacher and I'm never going to be done learning, but it does makes me smile when I have some of my best teaching moments, because I realize in those moments that I sound just like Jeremy." |
James Silberstein
"Jeremy is a walking masterclass in threading the needle: an unparalleled technician who coaxes out artistry, a wealth of knowledge whose communication is digestible and compelling, and a relentless advocate for your goals while remaining unerringly kind and empowering. I've been singing at a high level for years, and still I see sustainable progress in nearly every lesson with Jeremy. Jeremy is loved by his students, and for good reason - he's the very best at what he does." |
Geddy Warner
"Jeremy Aye teaches not only for the voice in front of him, but he teaches for the person in front of him. Jeremy masterfully adapts to the individual and brings out the strengths in both their voice and personality while at the same time helping to hone new skills and improve old abilities that the singer both needs and wants. He meets every individual where they are in their development and continues to foster growth and confidence with a thorough technicality and thoughtful kindness. Even after 6 years of working with Jeremy, every lesson continues to elicit a freer, more expressive, and individualized voice than the last. He is both an amazing teacher, and kindhearted mentor." |
