 GWEN CONLEY
AND
HER
"UNIQUE"
TRAINING & COACHING STYLE

A very dedicated, vocal coach who is passionate about the growth of each student;
stressing the importance of regular, daily, vocal exercise, at home, to strengthen the voice and to develop
good ear-training.  She shares her professional expertise witheach student, teaching them
to sing R&B, Pop,
Gospel & Jazz with
passion and confidence; building their singing skills with her excellent breathing
technique which her students find extremely beneficial


  She builds each of
her students' repertoires (their library of songs) with
the songs
they truly love. and desperately want to learn how to sing,
teaching them to believe in themselves in proportions they never
thought possible.


  She also teaches her students to read music,
by making the process very simple and very clear.

"Knowing theory is a big builder of student confidence, as
it allows them to communicate with other professional musicians
with mutual respect, enhancing the process of creating beautiful music together. 

 
SHE TRAINS ALL HER STUDENTS TO HIT THEIR TARGETED 
PRACTICE SESSIONS ON A DAILY BASIS.  
Her students love their "targeted" practice sessions which gives them incredible results.
Gwen realizes that - the wonderful raw talent must be nurtured gently, yet firmly - firmly
  to achieve real progress, yet gently, to build the emotional strength of character.
 
As the skills begin to manifest from these long hours of work,
they will need an outlet for expression.  Enter "personal appearances" time!

She places "strong emphasis" on having students perform 1-3 times per month  
to overcome stage fright and build immeasurable stage presence, charisma and guts.
She gives each student individual coaching to develop their own unique performance style.

Before studying with Gwen Conley I'd worked many years on Broadway and traveled with various artists singing background vocals.  Now that I am a student of Gwen's I am learning to use my vocal instrument with more confidence and it sounds better everyday. I look forward to being a lead singer.  I'm becoming a lot more aware of the what I am doing and learning to sing with the Power of Intention and ease.  Gwen has such a passion for her work and there's no doubt in my mind that applying her techniques has been a blessing to me vocally.  I'm now doing an incredible amount of gigs with total confidence and enjoying it all.
Thank you, Gwen.

As a singer I already had pretty decent singing skills before I came to Ms. Conley, but I just lacked the stage confidence that comes from a unique singing style.  She worked with me for about 3 months and a half and took me to a higher level in both areas.  She stressed how important it is to perform regularly - at least once a week - not only to build but to remain confident.  I will be sure to return to her for my tune-ups between road trips - just to keep in shape!  Gwen's the best voice coach I've ever had.  She's simply the best!   Ricardo A.

I wanted to learn R&B. I needed singing training to learn R&B soul.  I also needed my accent worked on for singing R&B. I am getting more confidence when I work with Ms. Gwen. She is tough and makes me work hard to sing R&B.  This is good for me. I can't believe my progress sometimes.  Toshiko

After our tour of Germany and Singapore which were the last stops before returning to the states, I realized I needed a voice tune-up after being away for so long.  I always return to Gwen to get me back "on point".  She's my favorite and she is the best.  Sean Vanderwilt

"I love Gwen!  I came last year from Seoul, Korea to learn to sing R&B and found her in the Backstage Magazine and saw her website on the internet.  I didn't know her but her professional expertise gave me the courage to win auditions.  I will return to Korea to teach R&B.  I love performing now!  Gwen is an awesome voice coach" who pushes you very hard to be the best you can be!
