It has been a joy to work with Olga. She radiates a love for music and a care and concern for her students. She has helped me to improve and has focused on different areas that I needed help with. This has given me a wider range and ability to hear and understand music better. :) I recommend this teacher strongly. The lessons are fun, enjoy the journey of learning to sing better with Olga. :)

She honestly is the best. I sing at my church as one of our children worship singers. After a couple lessons, Many of my leaders noticed incredible improvement with my voice. I began leading more songs and was able to perform more. Not to mention Mrs. Olga took apart each song I would sing and would work with me session after session. She immediately noticed that I had to work on my breathing and would just help me understand the fundamentals of singing. I also can say she has the greatest personality she cares about her students and is always there for them. I love her so much and I’m blessed to be one of her students.

Every review says as much about the person reviewing as it does the business reviewed. Olga is a conscientious and professional piano and voice teacher and I highly recommend her. A bad review is telegraphing that the person writing it has specific things that set them off. Sometimes these are fair and then the review reads as sensible. Typing a bad review in ALL CAPS is not sensible. The person comes across as obnoxious and at best, as fussy when focused on things most people consider unfair, like free lessons. Unless it is someone who shares the same issue, when someone like that writes a bad review the only person he or she is pushing away is someone LIKE THEM. So in that respect, they're doing the place a favor because they are aborting another bad review. Most of us read multiple reviews and can sort the rational voices from the angry ones. I am a parent of two boys and I have to say that $20 for quality one-on-one (private) 30 minute music lessons is too cheap. This is especially true if the teacher has several university degrees. Yes Olga gives us a discounted rate for my younger son but I do not expect her to teach for free. I am yet to see a teacher giving a $20 private lesson and free lesson for the 2nd child. To do it once perhaps, but that deal would be too good to be true to sustain long term. Not only would the teacher soon go out of business but it is unfair to the parents who are paying a higher but fair rate. In this day and age that is not a fair price for a qualified music teacher. However, $20 for a group lesson of 4 or 5 kids would make sense. My boys were able to read notes from their first piano lesson and are able to interpret a piece of music. Their lessons include scales, arpeggios, classic pieces, aural testing, sight reading and music theory. She is currently preparing my eldest son for the grade 1 Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Exam. I can say she has gone above and beyond what previous piano teachers have delivered, even extending the lesson time by 5 or 10 minutes if needed. She was more focused on my boys understanding the concept than anything else. In fact and she spaced our lessons so they do not overlap giving me ample time to discuss any concerns. Our experience has been that we get more than what we pay for at each lesson. No one should have to work for free. The effort Olga makes in teaching our boys correct finger posture, rhythm and theory is incredible. She is great with kids and I could not ask for a better teacher.

I really appreciated her thoughtfullness on giving my first voice lesson in such a short time period. It is nice to know the outword and degree of fine professionalism she exhibits. I liked that she took the timed to know what my needs were and what outcomes i expected making my lesson specific to me. I would recommend her highly !!!

Olga McNeill is an incredible teacher. It can be so difficult to find the right voice coach in Georgia. You won't be disappointed. She takes her enormous amount of professional training (University of Moscow) and incorporates it in an entertaining, understandable, and enthusiastic manner into whatever you are trying to learn or master. Olga had an obvious love for music and for her students as well. Her knowledge is extensive and her professionalism unmatched. She emphasizes breathing and singing the natural, healthy way and explains technique in a clear, direct way. In a city like Atlanta where anyone can be an "acting or singing coach" - you really need to be careful. Most of these importers are in it to make a quick buck while damaging your voice! Olga is a highly credentialed and brilliant teacher as well as incredible singer. She will spot your strengths and weaknesses and will not make you feel bad about them. She knows a lot about preparation, about different kinds of music and most important she enjoys doing it. The best vocal coach I've ever worked with!
