Celia's Voice Studio 31 Carlton Street, Holyoke, MA 01040

"Celia is a fantastic voice teacher! I took singing lessons from her for 5 months and saw a big change. She really cares about helping you improve. She also organized cafe nights where you can perform with a backing band and get real experience in front of an audience if you want. I don’t know of any other voice teacher that does that. Give her a try."

"I have worked with Celia’s studio on and off for over ten years. Celia’s Voice Studio is a five star experience where, given her sense of compassion and understanding paired with her teaching skills, inspires and makes you want to be a better performer and musician. She is great at identifying strengths and supporting further development of skills. I highly recommend her!"

"I’m really enjoying my lessons with Celia. I’ve always loved singing, but not had any training - at least since 7th grade choir! I didn’t really know what could be improved, but the description of her approach on her website was so logical and encouraging that I was hopeful. Celia immediately identified the places I knew my voice broke & helped me understand why - what was going on with the vocal chords - and has been working with my voice, adjusting lesson by lesson, with techniques that are working, and also fun. I have very little experience singing in front of people, but Celia put me at ease; there’s lots of laughing during lessons. She’s fun to sing with - she looks up songs I like & can accompany on the piano & guide my voice easily, even songs she’s not familiar with. Also - I have a voice box/larynx injury & she has training that has enabled her to address that directly with techniques that are actually therapeutic. Highly recommend!"

"Celia Miller has changed my life. Two summers ago I decided to take voice lessons from Celia on a whim--before that I had never sung in public. With carefully crafted exercises and lots of patience, Celia helped me to find and develop my voice. Her seasonal singers' showcase cafes and concerts motivated me to improve my technique and get beyond my nervousness about performing. Singing for the first time with a real band was an exhilarating experience!! Over the course of a year I went from being super self-conscious about my voice to LOVING to sing for an audience. This summer, when I started writing my own songs for piano and voice, Celia continued to be an outstanding teacher for me-- teaching me about chords and basic music theory, suggesting books and giving me tips on technique and the conventions of songwriting. Singing and music have become driving passions in my life, and I would never have discovered how much I love them without Celia. She has been so supportive, attentive, kind and encouraging, all while pushing me forward and giving me constructive criticism in ways that help me improve. I couldn't really recommend Celia any more highly as a voice and music teacher!"

"I'm a student of Celia's - I've been working with her for over a year; and I can't recommend her highly enough! Celia is a wonderful teacher who takes the time to know and understand her students, works with us as individuals, and prepares us for whatever our singing goals may be. If you take lessons with Celia, you will surely learn a lot, grow your voice by leaps and bounds, and have fun while doing it!"
