About Alison
I have a 100% Success Rate at getting teens into fantastic performing arts colleges. I have students currently at The Eastman School of Music, The Royal Academy of London, Emerson, Marymount Manhattan, Berklee Conservatory, and more. Some are Classical singers, some are Musical Theatre and some are Pop.
I have four studios and I teach in the BLAIRSTOWN Studio on Tuesdays: children and teens in the late afternoon and adults in the evening. PLEASE ONLY REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO STUDY ON TUESDAYS IN BLAIRSTOWN! THANK YOU!
I'm an international opera singer who regularly stands on real world stages, not only in studios. I teach because I love it and because I succeeded in one of the toughest businesses on earth. I want others to succeed. I have so much real life experience to impart. I started out singing in Musical Theater and worked as a Cabaret singer in NYC for many years when I when I was very young. I even tried a stint for awhile as a Rock singer, but missed Classical Music too much.
Due to my own varied background, I am uniquely capable of teaching technique in all genres of singing. And because I am still a working singers myself, my students get the benefit of learning whatever new aspect of technique I discover myself, in addition to the solid, stamina building technique I have been teaching for 15 years.
I enjoy seeing singers transform themselves, not just their voices, by feeling empowered at what they are able to do on their own after a very short time studying. Most of my singers are working! Come on by!
I never thought I would teach and at least thought I would wait until I retired from performing. However, I have so much information from the many teachers I've worked with, that I feel an obligation to share it. I absolutely love teaching - almost as much as performing!
I am a professional opera singer for 36 years on some of the greatest world stages, most recently at Carnegie Hall. In fact, I am still working and will be making my debut at Dallas Opera this year. A teacher who is a professional performer is what a singer needs in order to understand all aspects of the music business.

After hearing where a singer is as far as skills, I zero in on what area of technique I feel needs the most work. I teach in masterclasses which gets every singer over their nerves quickly and easily.
I teach and have taught opera singers, cabaret singers, liturgical singers, hip hop singers, rock singers, classical oratorio singers - of all ages.
Look for a teacher whose work really resonates with you and for someone who is being of service to YOU, not someone you feel you have to please.
I am fond of the day I recently heard that all three of my graduating high school seniors got into the colleges of their dreams, all with vocal performance scholarships!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your goals? Do you want to sing on world stages or get a lead role in your high school musical?

I’ve been a student with Alison for the past 9yrs. She has a truly unique way of teaching vocal technique by opening your body and letting go of your mind. Music has the power to heal and this is a true representation of it. She has gotten me through 2 horrible bouts of laryngitis and a vocal change, never giving up that my voice would come Back and stronger. She is a pusher with Flair and compassion.
I wholeheartedly recommend Alison's teaching to everyone! It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a professional, she works wonders with connecting your sound with your body and brings out your entire voice. As a music teacher, I take a lot of her techniques and apply them in my music classes with my middle school singers, proper technique is so important, especially with young singers.
Alison Bolshoi is an amazing, inspirational and selfless teacher. Her talent, skill and technique is unmatched and she has had great success in her field. Not only that but she is an incredible teacher and cares deeply about each and every one of her students. Her style teaches technique and skill very well and if you are looking for a vocal teacher/ coach there is no one who is better than her.
Alison establishes great basics in her young students with her exceptional attention to details . Through careful preparation and instructional process, my daughter got in her first choice of musical school with 2 scholarships in Opera Vocal Performance .
Excellent vocal teacher with unique capability to approach the developing artist with genuine guidance and encouragement. Honest with suggestions putting the artists interests first. Outstanding innovative vocal teaching technique.
Alison Bolsoi is the best teacher! She has a thorough understanding of the profession and philosophy of life! Incredibly talented and offers not only voice technique, but your worlds of creative consciousness, your creativity! Contact with her and her musical line changes the trajectory of life! Her wisdom deep understanding of the issue nezgranichno patience in matters of education is high. In this attention to detail and dip it in your voice specifics tasks is only capable of Alison! I am grateful for the opportunity of living the life of her whelp!
I have been working with Alison for a few years. When we first met, she told me "... you are the best mess I've ever met!" For although I was making pretty music with my voice, I was missing a lot of what singing is! Alison's teaching touches my very soul! She has this gift to make you reach inside yourself to places you never knew were there.... In order to help you reach your full potential, Alison creates a wellness of mind, spirit, and voice that you can also carry over to other aspects of your life. Whether you are a beginner or well advanced in your singing career, I highly recommend at least a "season" with Alison.... and let your audience be the judge!
I have been taking voice lessons with Alison for several years now. Her approach to singing is very organic through putting great emphasis on the whole body versus just the voice. It has helped me become a much more aware and well-rounded singer. She is also extremely helpful in preparing for auditions through careful analysis of the pieces you choose. I highly recommend!
Alison has a way of bringing out the very best in every singer, even those singers who are set in their ways or just plain stubborn. With Alison, the journey is just as important as the destination. It's an amazing journey which I highly recommend for singers of all levels

My classes are $90 and are 3 hours long. Singers are not required to stay for the whole class, though the more singers you watch, the better and faster you will learn! In them we do "hands on" work with all singers participating to help each singer reach their goals. Masterclasses teach technique at lightning speed and the technique imprints on each singer's body better this way. I also teach private lessons for $140/75 minutes. I save private lessons for my professional students.
