Margaret Lampasi 45 Vly Road, Albany, NY 12205

"I never considered myself a singer, and never thought about taking voice lessons; until my wife told me she wanted to join the church choir together. I have never been a confident singer and was ashamed of my voice. It seemed like I never matched what others were singing, and that made me shy away from even trying. Turns out I’ve got a pretty low range (deep bass) which is why I never fit in with the general population when singing! Margaret helped me to find out where I fit in, and coached me in getting the best out of my voice. She is an inspiring and compassionate (and very, very patient) teacher. From the first day I felt comfortable just singing (regardless of the rightness or wrongness of the notes) with her without fear of judgement. I’ve got a long way to go, but I have the basic foundations thanks to Margaret, and know that she can help guide me wherever my singing adventure leads me."

"I always wanted to be a better singer but never went through with getting lessons. It's intimidating to start but Margaret wiped away all my concerns. She genuinely cares about your progress and is excited to see you improve. If you want to start singing lessons but you're nervous, you see all these coaches/teachers and don't know what to do, look no further than Margaret."

"At age 55, I had been active in community bands and a chorus in recent years. I wanted to improve in one instrument. I'm glad that I chose voice, and I'm very glad that I chose to learn from Margaret. Her patience, attention to detail, and humor made every lesson a productive and pleasant experience. I enjoyed practicing at home with the recorded lessons, too. I knew how much I improved during my final lesson when returning to songs I had learned with her earlier and sounding much better. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to gain greater skills and confidence in singing."

"Ron and Gayle Goldstein, Qby., N.Y. Our daughter, Jacqueline, has been a student of Margaret Lampasi's for the past five years, since she was eleven years old. At the time, we were looking for a teacher who would provide excellent vocal training, yet take care to protect her young, developing voice. Margaret was highly recommended to us, and was the perfect choice. Using only healthy singing techniques, which she personalized for our daughter, she helped her to become the beautiful singer that she is today. Jacqueline hopes to continue with Margaret for many years to come, as she continues to grow and reach new levels of accomplishment under Margaret's expert direction. We highly recommend Margaret Lampasi to anyone who is looking for an exceptional and caring vocal teacher."

"Margaret is first and foremost a talented singer, and second, a wonderful and inspiring teacher. She has helped me learn new skills, new ways of thinking about singing, and has helped me become comfortable singing in my own voice. Margaret brings kindness, empathy, expert knowledge, and humor to every lesson. I always leave my lesson inspired to practice what I have learned and to sing!"
