Maira Vocal Studio, Philadelphia

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Patience is the most important quality a teacher must possess to be not only successful as an instructor, but also trustworthy as a mentor. I encourage my students to explore and experiment with their voice while I help them establish healthy vocal technique.

Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring?
I provide training materials and most music. Students don't need to bring anything!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
My interest in teaching voice began at a young age, the moment I realized I found much reward in the simplicity of helping. Focusing on aspiring singers' transformation and vocal discovery brought me much joy and happiness, I made it my career. I love sharing my knowledge of singing with students!

What do you love most about your job?
I love connecting individually with each student and creating relationships through music. Every singers learning process is different and that solely ignites my passion for teaching. Music is therapy - I'm grateful I found a career doing what I love and feel privileged to share music with others.
