MRS. CONLEY'S R&B, GOSPEL, POP TRAINING & COACHING STYLE

She trains her students, then let's them perform!  A very experienced vocal coach with  
 a proven track record, Mrs. Conley is committed to the growth of each student and pushes them

 hard to achieve their goals, seriously emphasizing the importance of regular daily breahing, riffing and vocal 

strengthening exercises to "control" the vocal instrument.  She places strong emphasis on ear-training and maximizing

vocal flexibility for riffing.  Mrs. Conley shares her professional expertise with each of her students, teaching them 
to be very clear about building their repertoires (their list of songs) with songs that they truly love to sing.  They
soon learn to abandon their fears as they put their hearts into their music through a unique process that she 
teaches them, which allows them to share what they're experiencing in their hearts as they perform.
Her students learn to express their own unique style, and gradually gain enough confidence to 
perform in public.  However, before they perform before the public she likes to give them
their own performance party where each student supports each other as they sing.

In addition, Mrs. Conley teaches her students to play basic piano scales and chords, and to read music.

Several of Mrs. Conley's vocal students have appeared on the Jay Leno Show.  
She proudly acknowledges that one of her students, Allison Foster, (see below),
performed with immense pleasure with Luther Vandross' former
band, "Change", at one of the inaugural balls 

for President Barak Obama
She works with
beginners as well as professionals; singles,
duos, and groups; staying
current with most
trends
in
R&B, pop, gospel and jazz.  She introduces
students to the best of "back-in-the-day
hits "as well... which they love! 

She encourages all of her
vocal students to
stay focused on
the
"business" aspect of th
e
recording industry
 in order to reap the financial benefits of their creativity.
 


"Discover how "awesome" it feels to
take your bows before an audience that's standing, screaming for more
as you confidently, with heart-felt gratitude and exhilaration take more bows... realizing
how hard you worked
to earn it.  BIG REWARDS!
"Encore... encore!"
  Gwen Conley

AlisonatPresidentObamaInauguralBall2009.jpg

Before studying with Gwen Conley I had worked for years on Broadway and traveled with various artists, as a background vocalist.  Since I've been working with Gwen, I'm looking forward to doing lead vocals more every day.  I'm even tackling complex riffs with a lot more ease.  Gwen has the kind of passion that it rubs off on you when you work with her.  Her training has been a blessing to me.  I'm now doing an incredible amount of gigs with total confidence and enjoying it all.
Thank you, Gwen.

Enjoying a fun break after a successful and entertaining jingle session with the world's most cherished "comedic" king, icon and TV father, Bill Cosby.  Ms. Conley enjoyed her idol as always, and was truly blessed to have met him and honored to have worked with him.  Joy beyond words!

As a singer I already had pretty decent singing skills before I came to Ms. Conley, but I lacked stage confidence that should come with havieng 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, ideally 2-3 times per month,  to build confidence and maintain it.   I will be sure to return to her for my tune-ups between road trips - just to keep in shape!  Ms. Conley's the best voice coach I've ever had.  She's simply the best!   Ricardo A.

STEFVillageUnderground.jpg

I'm French, and I made arrangements to come here from Paris in 2009 to see Gwen Conley, because when I read about her on her website I knew she could give me the finishing touches that my riffing skills needed.  I'd already been performing for years but had hit a plateau where I felt I needed to get beyond.  Gwen said she could tell that I'd worked incredibly hard; she said I was a tremendous talent, and that I only needed a little "tweaking" and could be on my way.  Before I left NYC I performed at the Village Underground and got encored!!  I was totally inspired to come back, and did!!  I love Gwen and will come back again, whenever I need her expert help again.  Stefanie H. - Paris, France

After our tour of Germany and Singapore, which were the last stops on our tour 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 back "on point".  She's my favorite and she is the best.  Sean Vanderwilt

Performing regularly and touring with the Cincinnati Symphony Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Carmen DeLeone, assistant conductor of Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.  "Regular perfomances are imperative in developing solid performance skills."  This is a special point that she stresses with her voice students.

"I love Gwen!  I came last year from Seoul, Korea to learn to sing R&B 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!
