Joe Santaniello has been a pivotal figure in my vocal journey.  I'd heard whispers of his teaching prowess for years before finally crossing paths with him in 2016, just as the daunting college audition season loomed. From our very first lesson, it was clear that the rumors were true.  Whether working with a complete beginner, a seasoned professional, or someone simply seeking the joy of singing, Joe possesses an uncanny ability to connect with each student and unlock their unique vocal potential.  His methods, a blend of technical rigor and artistic exploration, have been invaluable throughout my career, serving as a constant foundation through demanding performances in national tours of RENT and The Book of Mormon. Joe's dedication extends beyond the studio; he genuinely invests in his students' success, offering unwavering support and guidance even long after lessons conclude. He doesn't just teach singing; he empowers artists.
