Voice Lessons in Carteret, NJ

Welcome to Emily’s Music Studio! ***PLEASE NOTE: We are an NYC-based voice studio offering VIRTUAL lessons to students across the country, and in-person sessions for those local to NYC. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ I’m Emily Goulazian, founder and guiding spirit of Emily’s Music Studio. As a professional performer and voice teacher, I created this studio with one clear mission: to help singers unlock the full potential of their voice by combining grounded technique with intuitive, expressive freedom. Our studio differs from many others in one key way: we believe that voice training is not just about “sounding better”—it’s about connecting more deeply with yourself. While technique is absolutely essential, it will only take you so far. Singing is a skill developed through procedural learning—consistent repetition and muscle memory—but it’s also a deeply intuitive and human act, born from speech, emotion, and the instinct to communicate. At Emily’s Music Studio, you’ll learn not just how to sing correctly—you’ll learn how to sing honestly. We help singers tap into their natural instincts, work through tension, and access the voice through body awareness, emotional connection, and vocal play. Because when you’re emotionally connected, your voice opens up in ways that technique alone can’t unlock. Whether you’re just starting out, coming back after a break, or preparing for a professional career, we meet you exactly where you are. Our goal is to help you feel confident, free, and fully expressed through your voice. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ 🎵 Our Offerings: Voice (all levels), acting, guitar, songwriting, music theory, career mentorship, audition prep, and more—taught by NYC’s top musicians, vocalists, and actors. Every teacher is handpicked and trained to uphold our high standard of both artistry and empathy. 🌟 What You Can Expect: • Personalized 1:1 attention • Clear, effective vocal technique • Emotional connection and expressive freedom • A supportive, inspiring learning environment • Tools that work with your voice—not against it • Real progress you can feel and hear 💡 Our Promise: World-class instruction tailored to your voice, your goals, and your growth. We’re not just teaching songs—we’re teaching you how to own your voice and fall in love with using it. ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ Let’s rediscover what your voice is truly capable of. I’d love to offer you a free consultation to see if we’re the right fit. Join Emily’s Music Studio today and experience the difference a connected, intuitive approach can make. Let’s achieve your dreams together—one lesson at a time.

With a command of biomechanics and acoustics of vocal production I aim to help students along a path toward functional, effortless and lasting technique. "Technique" can sound scary but I love helping students understand their voice so that they can clearly communicate as an artist! I am jazzed about a holistic approach to performing which is why I incorporate functional breathing and manual manipulation techniques into my sessions for deeper discovery.
