Read Testimonials of Ed's Work
"I enjoyed singing all my life but was frustrated with the quality and range of my voice. A friend of mine at work with a beautiful voice recommended her voice teacher, Ed. I went to see him and that first lesson was hard work! He kept focusing on the production of my vowels. I realized that I really did not know how to sing. Then one lesson, I finally got it and the sound that I always wanted just popped out. My range went from a G (I’m a tenor) to a high C. I was ecstatic to say the least. I have had 3 other voice teachers in my time including one at a University, and they were good. But Ed was by far the best! I took lessons from him for several years and they were the highlight of my week. Ed is a very pleasant personality and patient with his students. He is very good at explaining vocal concepts and will search for different ways to explain things if you don’t understand the first time. His vocal exercises are great and I still use them after several years. He is an outstanding vocal teacher and coach. Ed is a great singer too. I am now a cantor at church, sing in the church choir, and sing solos at weddings and funerals."

"I took vocal lessons from Ed Cohn all through my teenage years. His lessons are some of my best memories from that time. To this day, every time I sing, I hear his voice in my head reminding me what to do. His instructions and techniques are invaluable to me. Out of all the teachers I have had for various things over the years there is no one I have learned more from and there is no one that I would recommend more highly than Ed. Besides being an excellent teacher he is also an excellent person, he was always kind and patient with me and always had a listening ear. I can't thank him enough for everything he has taught me over the years."

"Ed has a great understanding of the voice. We had several informative discussions during my lessons about the anatomy and mechanics involved in creating a pleasing sound, the difficulties involved, and exercises to improve upon it."

"Ed Cohn is a master at voice training and music instruction. His extensive experience with the mechanics of the voice coupled with an extremely diverse knowledge of music makes him quite a unique teacher. His ability to couch criticism in highly constructive ways helps students to improve quickly and heightens their enthusiasm for honing their abilities to the highest level. Any student fortunate enough to study under the expert tutelage of Mr. Cohn will forever be grateful for the experience."

"Ed was recommended to me as a voice teacher by a good friend and fellow musician. From the first lesson, I experienced immediate improvement with my singing. Ed is extremely knowledgeable and experienced regarding music in general, and using the voice as a musical instrument in particular. Ed's calm and comfortable personality makes the instructional process a very positive experience, and his depth of knowledge and experience regarding singing and performing in general will impress, if not amaze you. One of the projects we undertook as teacher and student was to prepare me for a vocal competition. I chose a song, and we dissected it, phrase by phrase, during the lessons leading up to the competition. No detail was left to chance including important aspects of the performance of the song, beyond just the singing. I had a great deal of confidence and a very enjoyable experience performing in the competition as a result. Ed obviously loves his work as an instructor because he is a lover of music, and it comes through in every interaction. I am very excited to resume my voice lessons with Ed using Skype."

"I studied voice with Ed Cohn for about a year. His understanding of the mechanics and artistry of voice were just what I needed. I increased my range and solidified my tone for a real step forward in my vocal presence. From basics to the finer points of diction, his guidance was rock solid. I can't thank him enough."
