“Our daughter Gina has been studying voice with Lina Tetriani for almost 3 years, and has performed in four recitals at the Voice Performance Studio NYC. Lina is an exceptional teacher of vocal performance. What distinguishes Lina is her unique feel for each of her students, and her dedication. In her patient yet deliberate manner, Lina has nurtured Gina’s raw talent and empowered her with the techniques and mindset to be a disciplined, expressive vocalist - ready to take the stage as soloist or to join in vocal ensembles. Beyond Gina’s progression as a vocalist, by studying with Lina’s studio, our daughter has gained self-confidence, found value in goal-setting, and developed new friendships through Lina’s studio. We enthusiastically recommend Lina as a voice teacher and mentor!”
“Lina is an amazing teacher. We have two daughters singing with her at the Voice Performance Studio NYC and their progress is tremendous. They have grown as singers and have gained confidence through the recitals.”
