“I very much enjoy observing Dr. Snyder’s classes. She has a gift for saying the proper thing at the proper moment in the process for each singer and I’m grateful to be observing and learning. She’s truly the perfect teacher with her combination of knowledge and delivery. In my opinion, the most talented professionals lead with the intention to help and educate, all while keeping a collaborative spirit and leaving out the ego (on top of having much expertise) — she nails it!”
—Michael Scarcelle, professional opera singer and DMA student in Voice performance, Temple University
"As a piano teacher in the Upper Dublin area, I have highly recommended Julie Snyder to several of my students. Julie's expertise in vocal instruction is clearly visible, and it promotes the growth of her students. Her lessons are thoughtfully structured, she has high expectations for her students, and she provides several opportunities for performance throughout the year. As a result, her instruction fosters stronger vocalists and instills a love of music in her students."
—Maria Donato-Bloom, piano instructor
“Julie has been working with my daughter for a few years and she is AMAZING. She is kind, and crazy talented, and so invested in the kids and their growth. My daughter has learned a tremendous amount with Julie, but just as importantly, has learned to "adult" with another really amazing adult in her life. I wish we had had an opportunity to bring her into her life when she was a toddler because I can't even imagine how amazing that would have been for her.”
—Lisa Levine Kempner, parent
“Julie is an engaging and patient teacher. She has the ability to break down complex musical concepts into ones that can be understood by people with little or no prior background in music. As a student in her Music Reading class which is geared towards adult learners, she has helped me unravel the mysteries behind the way music looks on paper, how it is counted, the way it sounds and why. I look forward to her classes every week.”
— HELEN TILGNER, STUDENT, Music Reading: The Basics
“My daughter has been working with Julie for several years now and absolutely loves it! Julie has great insight and a fantastic ability to understand the student, then nurtures them into becoming a wonderful vocalist! Her teaching style is well structured and yet very accommodating. She ties it all nicely into your goals as well as any outside activities such as musical theater. Julie is a true professional instructor.”
—Paul Glodek, parent
“Julie has been a kind and careful teacher for our daughter, and we've so enjoyed watching her grow as a performer since working with Julie. Julie has helped her build the kind of confidence that comes from meeting high expectations, balanced with support and encouragement. She's an amazing singer herself and a wonderful teacher!”
—Tracey Fritch, parent
“I've always enjoyed singing as a hobby, but it was only recently that I finally took the plunge and decided to attend lessons to refine my skills. Julie has been an excellent teacher, showing me methods to make my sound more consistent and tonally clear while also motivating me to challenge myself beyond what I enjoy singing in the car.”
