Our Favorite Teachers

NYCC's favorite local voice teachers and other music educators offer discounts to NYCC members, and we'll subsidize your first lesson(s) with them.

Even if you're not a member of NYCC, we highly recommend you check these folks out—when referred by NYCC, you can enjoy the NYCC member price on your first lesson!
