Voice Instruction by Holli Ross
Do you need some help with your ability to sing the way you want to? Would you like to know how to deliver your song in a more effective way? Do you know your keys? Can you communicate your musical needs to the band? Is someone else in control of your song? These are things that can be taught and you can learn.

Holli Ross is voice instructor and performer in the jazz, pop, and musical theater styles. She is presently accepting students at her home studio in Maplewood, NJ. Holli is on the voice faculty at Hofstra University, Montclair State University, and Mannes College of Music. She is also a certified speech therapist specializing in voice disorders. Singers are always most welcome.

Holli performs nationally and abroad with the jazz vocal trio, String Of Pearls, with whom she has recorded several CDs. Her solo efforts have taken her abroad as well, not to mention appearances at the Monterey Jazz Festival and New Orleans’ famed jazz club, Snug Harbor.
