Experienced tutor in Opera voice in New York, Barbara offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Barbara Hocher really understands what's important in classical singing. She puts her students at ease with her warm manner, and yet is able to communicate frankly and clearly when telling students what to focus on and how to improve. She has a vast knowledge of the repertoire, and is great at matching song choices to the individual. Barbara truly provides useful and actionable advice and instructions to students to help them improve their technique, and she has the patience of a saint. Highly recommended!

Barbara is an excellent, experienced voice teacher - warm, observant and knows how to get the best out of her students. She goes above and beyond most and particularly wonderful with young singers. We are so grateful to have had her as our daughter's voice teacher. Thanks to her influence, our daughter is now studying classical voice.

“Barbara has done wonders for my voice and confidence as a singer. My technique has improved dramatically and the quality of my voice is so much better. She has taught me how to sound present, unforced, and resonant while I’m singing. She is a dedicated teacher, wonderful friend, and I truly appreciate having the opportunity to work with her.”
