About the lesson

I am very good at mixing fun with hard work. I listen to each student and incorporate their wishes into my teachings, so you get exactly what you want out of your lessons. I always prepare extra for every student. I consider my students my friends as it is rewarding to watch them all grow with my help. I am simple and compassionate. I will teach you about your breathing, registers, vibrato… you will have a strong, healthy voice and a great ear. You will know how to take care of your instrument, how to practice, what to practice and when. For anyone that is interested in reading music or learning more about music theory I will happily teach you. My teachings are designed for beginners (children & adults) intermediate and advanced. Let’s have some fun!

Perfect! Ela was very patient and kind. On our very first lesson she helped me stretch my voice to a place that other teachers have not. She laid out a roadmap of areas that need work and her thoughts on how we can get there. She stressed that the lessons will be fun for me, and that we will practice music I like as we work on the fundamentals and find my own unique style. This was much different in my experience with other teachers who seemed to have a set of standard songs within THEIR genre preference they use to practice areas of development, but were no fun because I did like the genre. I perceive that as a bit lazy. But Ela asked for MY top three songs that she will review prior to my next lesson!

Ela takes the time to understand her student’s individual vocal level and from there, develops a specialized lesson plan. She learns even unfamiliar songs that they want to sing so that she can properly focus on the exercises they need to develop for them to reach that goal.

Ela is knowledgeable about her craft. She invests in her own professional development to better understand how her students are experiencing the learning journey (something teachers often forget!) and how to best guide each individual to their goals.

I highly recommend Ela for for all things voice lessons. Whether you you are a beginner or more advanced Ela's unique prospective and experience will help advance your sound to the next level. She works with students on all levels and rather than coaching a specific technique, she tailors her approach to your specific goals. I cannot recommend her enough.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?
I first remember enjoying singing in pre-school. The teacher loved to play music for us and I very much enjoyed singing along.
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
There are so many great ones. At the moment I could loop Jacob Collier's "Little Blue" into infinity.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
I think the best thing that you would get out of working with me is a skill set that will enable you to really know and trust your voice while exploring different styles and having fun applying them! There's nothing that feels better than freedom of expression while knowing that you are doing it well!
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
I think every instrument has its challenges, I can only speak on the voice. Mastering your cord co-ordinations while taking care of yourself - physically and emotionally is extremely important. After all, we are in different states all the time. Knowing yourself is key.
What are your keys to success?
Overall health, practice, kindness and perseverance.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favorite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Jacob Collier - to pick his brain around harmonies, creating sound etc. Tori Kelly - her vocal mastery amazes me and I would love to discuss her vocal technique. Mozart - he is my favorite composer and I adore his work - would love to be inspired by him.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
I often think of the silence between notes as an important part of music.
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I am good at creating a safe and non-judgmental environment and I truly care about people's voices.
