Susan Lambert, Psychotherapy, Vocal Therapy, Voice Lessons, Vocal Coaching

"In the 30 years that I’ve known and worked with Susan, what has always struck me most about her teaching is her ability to build incredible technique and vocal health in her students, while at the same time getting to the core of the dramatic and emotional work absolutely essential for success as a singing artist."

"Susan's voice technique gave me freedom in my singing voice I had never experienced before. She approaches the work from many directions—physical, intellectual, emotional, and visual—to discover the organic instrument, understanding that different means speak to different students. She works with students as individuals to unearth the truest and most versatile voice possible."

Voice Lessons and Coaching

"Life without music is unthinkable, music without life is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace." - Leonard Bernstein

At 14 I had the great good fortune to begin my serious studies as an artist and singer at the Arena Theatre on Cape Cod, mentored by talented professionals who created a powerful template for teaching and inspiring performers. In creating their combined theatre company and school, they dynamically joined rigorous training with generous encouragement, and side-by-side performance with students. I have emulated that form throughout my 25 year career performing, teaching, and designing and implementing training programs and performance opportunities that unite teachers with students in challenging and joyful ways.

My private students have included seasoned performers from all genres: Broadway, pop and contemporary, opera and jazz; as well as developing professionals and young students.

Our work focuses on developing a strong technique which locates your true voice, developing power and flexibility, range and depth of tone, color and versatility, allowing every singer to move through any genre or style with ease and confidence.

Lessons include intensive technical work and its application to repertoire, auditioning, roles, and styles. I encourage students to work on stress reduction, get regular exercise, and embrace the joy of singing.
