Voice Lessons
Interested in Voice, Music Theory, and Sight-Singing? Available in Washington Heights (Manhattan), Zoom, Skype, or Facetime. All ages & levels of experience welcome.
I believe in an approach that includes a clear understanding of how your voice works, an enjoyment of practicing, and reducing the fear of "wrong notes" so that you can discover what your unique voice is capable of.
You and I will work to build a healthy foundation for your voice - for singing or speaking - focusing on posture and balance, breathing, fundamentals of vocal technique, song coaching, and most importantly - building confidence and self-awareness along your journey of vocal discovery. Lessons are intuitively guided, geared toward connecting the voice to your breath by removing emotional/physical tension and nurturing an honest expression.

Testimonials
“I highly recommend Sam Fujii for his refined and sensitive lyric baritone. He is a consummate professional.”
“Sam handled our first few sessions with a certain calm confidence and sensitivity, given my anxieties and fears during my vulnerable transition as a singer. His calm and relaxed manner helped to put me at ease, even from our first session. The wonderful thing about Sam is the way he gives support by building on strengths, while also giving suggestions that lead to more effective and beautiful singing. He’s careful of not creating undue frustrations and negative feelings through the challenging work of learning new skills and practicing them. I am now singing more easily and beautifully than I thought I ever could, thanks to Sam, himself an amazing singer. ”
“Working with Sam is a great confidence boost. He is patient and supportive, and endeavors to find the right materials needed at a given time. Our coachings brought the skills I was working on up to the level I had hoped for. ”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Sam Fujii for the past two years at Lamp Camp, a summer program for students aged 7-18, where he is our valued music director. Our mission is to build confidence and friendships through acting, improv, dancing, and singing. Through his calm demeanor and sense of humor, Sam builds genuine rapport with his students and helps them achieve new heights as singers. His love of music is infectious and goes beyond just singing. He is a talented and versatile teacher who will take your voice to a place you never thought it could reach!”
“I am an actor who lives in Washington Heights. I was looking for an accompanist and coach in the neighborhood and found Sam Fujii. What a find! I have used him several times now to prepare for auditions. He was able to learn my music very quickly and correct mistakes immediately. Sam is a very pleasant, easy going guy, and I highly recommend him!”
“Sam’s unique abilities led to an amazing transformation for my daughter’s vocal talent. He is professional, brilliant, and knowledgeable. Ally is learning so much and her skills improved greatly. I would recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their musical endeavors.”
“I’m very pleased with the vocal techniques and music reading my daughter has been learning in her lessons with Sam. He is a patient and encouraging teacher who explains musical concepts in ways that are accessible to children and makes the lessons fun for them.”
“My 12 year-old began taking lessons with Sam about 6 months ago. Sam has been amazingly patient in helping our child focus and grow as a singer. He has also been very flexible about letting our child pick music that matches his interest. Not only has our child grown as a singer, but Sam has also developed a trusting relationship that has boosted our child’s confidence, allowing him to really shine on the stage! Thanks Sam!”
