Where do I start?? He's patient, he's beyond knowledgeable, he's simply everything I could ask from a vocal coach. From the very first lesson he taught me things that I never even considered before when it came to singing. He really teaches you the absolute bare minimum of what you need to learn, but in a common sense, easy to understand way. It's been three months with him and I'm already making great progress. How do I know this? Because he also gives compliments where compliments are due. Easy 5/5

I have been taking lessons with Leondro for several months now and I have nothing but good things to say. I could hear my voice improving even after the first lesson. He not only helps with my voice, but he helps me understand music conceptually. I have always been nervous about singing in front of people, but he immediately put me at ease and my confidence grows each lesson. Leondro is truly a great teacher.

Leandro is a great vocal instructor! I started lessons with Leandro with a good foundation in music because of my years of playing piano but I had zero singing skills. In the months that I’ve been studying with Leandro I’ve felt my voice and singing ability greatly improve. Leandro knows a lot about proper technique and is very good at helping me identify what I need to improve on and what specific vocal exercises will help resolve any issues I’m having. I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Leandro and would highly recommend him to anyone considering taking vocal lessons.

I can't say enough good about Leandro! He is such an excellent voice teacher. I had some initial qualms about doing lessons virtually, but I truly find that my singing improves with every lesson. Not only does he have an exceptional understanding of the mechanics of voice/ singing and the ability to recognize and hear what is happening with his students when they sing, but he is also able to communicate these things clearly with his students. Each lesson is so fun, informative, and in line with my singing goals.
