BROOKIE T.

It was so amazing how she was really in my corner. She really taught me how to self advocate. She's taught me how to get things done, how to get a handle on what to do. She's also taught me how to make a song a hit, which is awesome because then we can really get people grooving and even make some money. I'm just really thankful and really grateful to Alarke. 

MICHELLE C.

Before I even sang a note, she could tell if I was going to hit it or not. She was able to effectively explain and demonstrate when I was doing something incorrectly, where I was feeling that, how to correct it, and where I should be feeling it instead. I was blown away. I truly love working with her and I look forward to working with her again.

JILL A.

In just a few months with Alarke's help, I was singing confidently while playing the piano. The decision to begin lessons was a catalyst for many life-changing decisions in the months to follow. It truly had a snowball effect. I've experienced a shift in mindset and am learning to trust and listen to my intuition and my heart. I've gone from thinking about life in black and white, to a life full of vibrant possibilities.

Completely revolutionized the way I approach songwriting and inspired a lot of creativity in me.

 Ximena L.

My lessons with Alarke were full of personal growth for me. I overcame some limiting beliefs that I had about my singing and now I can really see an improvement in my technique, theoretical knowledge, and in the way I express my music.

MICHELLE W.

In a few months I have gone from absolutely zilch experience in music, to preparing to sing in a NYC jazz club, reading sheet music, and being able to play intermediate piano pieces. My sessions with her are energizing and fun. I come out of each lesson feeling brighter 
and more confident
of my musical ability.

TAYLOR

Alarke got me to loosen up and not take myself so seriously. It did wonders for my voice and confidence.

GININE

This was full of golden nuggets and beyond my expectations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

As somebody with performance experience, I took weekly voice lessons with Alarke for both custom feedback on my unique style and for the general voice training that I'd never had. Each lesson was rigorous: no cakewalk, she expected me to steadily move forward and improve, which I did.

Looking back at the recordings it’s really cool to see the progress I’ve made. Thanks to you I sound clear, in control of my voice and can easily reach the high notes. Thank you for the great lessons!

After my first lesson with Alarke, I felt so inspired and my voice immediately started getting stronger. She coached me through an audition, and with her help, I totally nailed it. My range is expanding, and I feel more confident than ever! Alarke's an all around unique, talented, and genuine person that I'm lucky to have stumbled upon.

JUSTIN H.

I went through 4 voice teachers in NYC before finding Alarke, and she’s been worth every penny. She has an incredible ability to enhance my natural voice while making abstract concepts easy to understand. Her training has been life-changing for my vocals.

Barry O.

I’m a singer songwriter who came to Alarke as I was working on an album and preparing to do some live gigs and it really made a big difference. I feel that Alarke really “got” my music and what I was trying to say. That was key for me – not to change was I was doing but to make it work better to communicate my material. I can truly say I use everything I got from Alarke in those sessions – good warm-ups, a more relaxed singing approach and a better connection between my vocal production and the words of my songs.

I am so thrilled to be studying with Alarke, as her musical ear, performance technique tips and visual cueing are simply superb. Alarke truly excels at her ability to use visualization techniques. She also excels at being able to hear slight differences in vocal energy and knowing how to get the desired sound. She’s helped me master small adjustments that make a huge difference in my vocal quality, energy, and sound modulation. Bravo, Alarke!

JOHNNY G.

Alarke amazes me with her ability to hear what I’m doing and break it down into workable, usable elements. She finds exactly what I need in each lesson and delivers with her incredible gifts and positive energy.

Alarke has given me the skills and confidence to start creating my own music. Her teaching goes beyond technical voice work—she’s helped me grow as a songwriter and performer, too. I’d recommend her to anyone!

MIC RAGYUN

Alarke makes singing look effortless, and she’s helped me connect the dots to build my voice. Her approach gives me clear directions on what to think and feel when I sing, making each lesson incredibly valuable.

ANDREW R.

It's hard to describe the enjoyment and progress I enjoyed with Alarke. She is such a thoroughly engaged and skilled teacher. In my first lesson I felt like I improved exponentially, and every lesson thereafter has left me significantly improved. Aside from the improvement in quality, Alarke's teaching and personal style also gave me a massive boost in confidence. She is a lovely person to know, very funny and creative with her teaching and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of music. What a great experience!

LUCAS M.

I had a great time studying with Alarke. I always felt I had walked out of a lesson a step closer to my goals and put in the right direction. I found she had good knowledge of her tools and how to apply them to whatever it was that I was up against.

I wrote songs as a hobby when I was in my late teens and early 20s. I came back to it much later on with Alarke's help. The list goes on in terms of what she’s able to bring to the table with her mentorship and instruction. It’s been an incredible experience. Every day we’re learning something new, it’s relaxed, there’s a tremendous amount of support, it’s a very positive environment... Just listening to the songs come to life has just been absolutely inspirational.

Alarke is an incredibly gifted teacher who is focused on the individual needs and goals of her students. She was diligent about using creative techniques to bring out the best in my voice.
Through the time we worked together I competed in the Apollo Theatre’s Making a Star Competition and I won!

This is true artist development. I wish I had this five years ago. This is amazing. It's the music. It's the voice. It's lyric writing. It's thinking about melodies. It's changing your brain a little bit so you can see more of what's going on. It's you being able to see yourself outside of yourself. It’s marketing. It's all of these things.

JOHN J.

Alarke is a rare teacher who combines deep knowledge with the ability to translate complex techniques into clear, actionable steps. She is a creative, patient, yet demanding teacher with a razor-sharp ear who coaxes the best out of you. She’s challenged me to improve both my vocals and songwriting in ways that have taken my music to the next level.

Alarke helped me unleash a whole other level of power, control, and clarity in my voice in a matter of 90 minutes, which were as productive as they were fun.

CASEY C.

It’s given me inspiration and I’ve gotten so much more confidence for my musical journey and inspired me to reach out to collaborate with other people. I love it!
