~ Testimonials ~

"I knew from my very first lesson with Gary Zeller that if there was one maestro who could help me to sing, I had been lucky enough to find him.  Gary would literally stand on his head to make me believe in myself.  He taught me more than singing, he taught me how to open up and be the person -- as well as the singer -- I'd always dreamed of being. 

I was a member of Gary's studio from 1996 until 2002, and I would still be coaching with him if I hadn't moved -- but I have made special trips to Vancouver just to work with him.  It's worth it." 

~  Vikki Flawith, Mezzo-soprano/Songwriter, Victoria

"Gary Zeller is an outstanding music coach and an excellent choice for those who are interested in developing or advancing their singing skills for classical music. He willingly shares his expertise with the goal of helping each of his students produce the best sounds possible. He is truly interested in his students and he puts his whole heart into each session. He is encouraging and he is honest. Every bit of his attention and energy is always focused on his students.

I would strongly recommend Gary if you, like me, are genuinely interested in learning from a truly dedicated professional."

~ Grayson Wilder, Tenor, Vancouver

"I have been Mr. Zeller's student for 6 years now, and I had no idea about singing when I had my first lesson. Now, this year, I had the wonderful experience of performing my first classical recital and I also entered the Kiwanis's Music Festival.

I can feel my voice improving with each lesson. I thank Gary for his patience when he teaches me. He explains, demonstrates, encourages and if necessary practices with me until I fully understand. I am Japanese, and sometimes I have difficulty in pronunciation. Gary never gives up on me and I am now singing in English, German, French and Italian.

I will continue to be his student, as there are so many things to learn!! Why don't you try a lesson with Gary one time, and you will know what I am talking about. Then, let's sing together!"

~ Rei Miyamoto, Soprano, Vancouver

"Gary Zeller is a voice expert and teacher par excellence. Having been on the international stage himself, he understands the complexities of the singer mentality and is not lacking in generous tutorship, as well as empathy. He is a firm and demanding teacher, showing a particular genius in method for establishing technique. Gary is a sincere person, which is evident in all his dealings with his students. I recommend him to beginners as well as advanced singers for excellent voice training and results."
